4.00Remember to dress warmly, as the wind is cold and strong. There's so much to see. We had perfect conditions but regardless of conditions I recommend doing this trip.

5.00What a fun tour! Would strongly recommend as this is an awesome way to see Tasman island and the surrounding natural beauty. We were very lucky and saw lots of albatross, two types of dolphins, and two types of seals along with other birds. Our driver expertly managed to drive the boat quickly and safely. The waters are choppy and we were going fast. If you’re prone to motion sickness try to pretreat, but they did give us some ginger before we started. Would recommend if you feel up to the adventure!

5.00Staff and crew all extremely helpful. Accommodated a last minute booking error on my part. I had double booked my ticket and we actually arrived on the wrong day! The staff arranged for a refund of the extra booking and the crew allowed us to fit in with an already full group. Many Thanks for salvaging a potentially wasted day. We had an amazing and memorable experience. David and Pandora

5.00We were a bit apprehensive, they gave big red spray jackets at check-in and showed us the line of portaloos. After a short walk downhill to Stewart bay we boarded our yellow boat( 38 to 40 in each boat), after safety instructions with seat belt secure, we were exploring the bay before heading out toward Tasman Island with 4 stops at least to see the spectacular rock formations and sea caves where the boat fitted very nicely inside, apparently it was a calm day, lol. During our adventure we were surrounded by a pod of dolphins, a lot of fun. The wind was cold almost freezing when we sped across the water to next location. The seal colony and sea lion colonies were amazing. The rock formation were so dramatic it was worth the investment.
