Spectacular destination
Thanks to the friendly team of Eco Abrohlos for sharing this spectacular destination with us. A family owned and operated vessel, their love for the Abrohlos island is reflected in everything they do. Beautiful vessel, fabulous food, birds, seals, history, fishing, crayfish daily, amazing coral reefs, they tick all the boxes. These guys know what they’re doing and they do an exceptional job.

An amazing place
We were extremely grateful to have 4 days on board the Eco Abrolhos recently. The Abrolhos Islands is an amazing place to be and there is none better than owner Jay Cox to show you the many amazing places that make up this magnificent place. Jay has grown up on and around the Abrolhos, knows the fantastic history well and is a great storyteller. (He also makes a great seafood chowder!) The crew were fantastic and the food was sublime! There's so much to see and do including fishing, snorkeling, swimming, exploring the bird and sea lion colonies, to name a few! Many thanks to Jay, Ray, Paul and the rest of the crew. We couldn't have asked for a better holiday!

Really enjoyed it
My husband and I recently returned from a 5 day cruise on the Eco Abrolhos. We have never been on a cruise, and were not sure what to expect, but we really enjoyed it. Many of our fellow passengers were a bit older, but that didn't slow them down. We were able to snorkel the Batavia wreck, as well as several other really nice snorkel sites. Swimming with sea lions was a highlight. The fishing was quite fun, as was going out to pull the craypots in the morning. Food was excellent and in large quantities. The crew was great, Ray the chef was fabulous. We learned about the Batavia wreck prior to snorkeling the site and visiting the islands, which made it much more meaningful. The accomodations are more
