Upon arrival at the island, wetsuits, masks and snorkels are provided and you are ready for the most playful swim ever. The crew will lower the tender vessel into the water, which will transport you closer to shore. A crew member will be in the water with you at all times. Once in the water, the Sealions entice you to come and play. With summersaults and swirls they glide effortlessly past.
Simply float in the water with an out-stretched hand, staying nice and calm and let them approach. The more twists and turns you do the more they will play, and enjoy being one on one with the Australian Sealion!
Sealions are endangered and the permit is strict. You are not permitted to be too close to the beach and at all times you need to remember that they are endangered and must not approach or intimidate them. After approximately an hour of swimming it is time to climb back onto the boat, a hot shower awaits and the coffee machine is ready!

A bit more about The London Helicopter
The London Helicopter is the only helicopter tour company to fly over the capital from a central London location. We are also the UK’s first helicopter sightseeing service that gives people the freedom to book, pay and check-in online
London sightseeing flights have been available from the base at Redhill aerodrome near Gatwick airport since 2004. To meet growing demand for a more central departure location in the capital, we introduced flights in April 2013 from The London Heliport in Battersea
The London Helicopter is a privately owned and operated company
The very best helicopters and pilots
The London Helicopter flights are operated by British International Helicopters, who work under the strict regulations set out by the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority. Our aircraft are state-of-the-art Airbus AS350 Single Squirrel helicopters. They undergo a strict regime of maintenance inspections, which includes daily pre-flight checks, maintenance after every 30 & 50 hours of flight time, and deeper inspections every two years
The pilots who man the flights have thousands of hours of flight experience and undergo a thorough regime of regular training and testing. In fact, many of the pilots are so well qualified that they often work as flight examiners testing trainee private pilots from their own and other flight schools
