Red Boats run a 2 Hour Snorkel Tour starts at Popes Eye Marine Sanctuary. Popes Eye is a quick 5 min from Portsea and boasts a large variety of unique temperate marine fish, cuttlefish, sea stars and rays amongst sea sponge and kelp. Popes Eye was originally intended to be built as a fortress out of BlueStone to protect the bay, however, it was never completed and has since been turned into part of the Marine National Park and Australasian Gannet nesting area.
After Popes Eye Marine Park, you will head to the famous Chinamans Hat. Just 10 Minutes away, Chinamans Hat is a large platform structure in the bay and home to our resident friendly Fur Seals. There you have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the playful seals, swimming with the seals too!
