This ferry ride is good value for money. Hosts from Pennicott are very friendly, knowledgeable and caring. They ensure safety and well being of all tourists throughout the ferry ride. They share a lot of fun facts along the way. Icing on the cake is there are lot of places to see in and around Port Arthur. If you have a rental car, you can drive to other places soon after the ferry ride to see beaches, have good food and also shop exquisite lavender products.

Perfect. I had an amazing experience exploring the Tasmanian Peninsula with Lily as our tour guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the history, wildlife, and natural beauty of the area, sharing fascinating stories that made the trip even more memorable. Lily was friendly, professional, and very attentive to everyone’s needs, ensuring we were comfortable and engaged throughout the day. The itinerary was well-organized, and we never felt rushed, with plenty of time to enjoy the stunning views and attractions.

A thrilling trip that is worth every penny, highly recommended! During the cruise, we saw seals, dolphins, and whales, which was incredibly exciting! Although it was a bit cold, I recommend wearing more layers.
