Staff 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

We 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.
Amazing boat cruise with scenery and wildlife

Having completed the 3 Capes Hike in 2021, this boat trip was excellent to see the same locations previously viewed from the top of the cliffs only this time from the sea. We sat right at the front of the boat in 2 metre swell and didn’t get splashed at all. Amazing scenery as well as seeing seals up close, dolphins riding the bow wave and albatross. Thoroughly recommend this cruise.
Breathtaking!

The Tasman Island Cruise was absolutely worth it and easily one of the highlights of my trip. The views of the cliffs, rock formations, and coastline were breathtaking, and seeing seals and dolphins in the wild made it even more special. The guides were knowledgeable and clearly cared about marine life and conservation, which added immensely to the overall experience.
An exciting adventure

Fantastic experience! The deckhand and skippers were friendly, knowledgeable and provided excellent commentary throughout the tour. The scenery is absolutely spectacular and at the spots we stopped for photos, the skipper turned the boat around multiple times so everyone could get a view and photos. Wildlife included seals, dolphins, whales and albatross. Rug up even if it’s sunny! 10/10 recommended!
