around the breakwater into the open
ocean. A further 5
7. minutes of exhilarating motoring

Zealand Fur seals and Australian Sea
Lions can be seen basking in the sun
and often swim to the stationary
boat to have a good look at the
passengers! Seabirds including
petrels, shearwaters and cormorants
can also be seen on or around
8. Seal Rock. Common and bottlenose
dolphins are also often in the vicinity
and sometimes race the boat. After

10. For this extended tour, The Big Duck
again departs from the Granite
Island Causeway and cruises slowly
between the mainland and the
northern side of Granite Island,
affording breathtaking views of both
the Victor Harbor shoreline and the
island. Once past the breakwater The
Big Duck picks up its pace.
11. Seal Rock is the first stop, where
New Zealand Fur Seals and
Australian Sea Lions bask in the sun
between fishing forays and
swimming out to the boat for a
sticky-beak! Then on past the huge
granite boulders of Wright Island
and the Bluff, with Shark Alley in
between where Dan talks about the
whaling history
12. of the area. Many visitors to Victor
Harbor never venture past Petrel
Cove on the western side of the Bluff,
but this is where passengers on The
Big Duck are in for a real treat! West
Island is a Conservation Park,
complete with a research hut used
by the universities and park rangers.
From the back of the
13. island another colony of seals and
sea lions can often be seen basking
on the rocks and swimming in the
shallows. Seabirds abound in this
remote area and often pods of
common and bottlenose dolphins
can be spotted playing or feeding.
The Big Duck heads further west
past the darkly spectacular cliffs of
14. Kings Beach and Waitpinga before
turning around and heading back to
Granite Island. That's a lot to see in
one hour!!
