This cruise was fantastic, our skippers were full of knowledge and made the whole journey amazing. We were lucky enough to see a young humpback whale breach right in front of us, among dolphins, seals, albatross and Tuna

The whole team were superb. Our all girl crew absolutely rocked and our skipper was soooo good. Ellie was also fab and was really knowledgeable about the ocean, coast and wildlife. Don't miss this fabulous experience, we would highly recommended it and saw many albatross, NZ and Australian seals, dolphins and stunning coastline.

Fantastic experience, worth every penny!! The boat and crew were incredible and the stunning views and wildlife were perfect. We were lucky enough to be joined by a pod of dolphins playing beside the boat and showing off just for us.

Remember 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.

What 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!
