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!
Very good tour

This was a great cruise ! We saw many dolphins, seals, 2 humpback whales and albatross! It was exciting to see so much wildlife. It was a calm day on the water and the scenery was breathtaking! The tour leaders provided safety instructions and were very informative. The speed of the boat was exciting. We were provided with ponchos to keep dry and offered ginger to prevent sea sickness however there were a few people who did have vomiting so if you are prone you should take some Antinausea medication before the cruise.
A must do when visiting Port Arthur 🤩

It was a fantastic cruise. The weather was perfect. No seasickness on the boat at all, despite the waves. Beautiful views of the tube rocks. Cormorants, black-browed albatrosses, fur seals. And a treat for us were several humpback whales jumping out of the water and flapping their fins.
10 out of 10 for you, me hearties!! Ooooh Arrr!

I wasn't sure what to expect - but all my possible expectations were truly exceeded. The coastline was wild and rugged - totally awesome. The weather was benign and the swell of the ocean just enough to keep as all gripped with some trepidation and terror! The crew were professional, informative and friendly with an informative commentary and helpful pointers and the pilot a cruel man, who liked to keep us on the edges of our seats as he careered towards the cliffs at high speed, only to turn at the last moment, when all our hearts were in our mouths. He was gentle too though, quietly guiding us into some huge dark caves without even touching the walls. 10 out of 10 for you, me hearties!! Ooooh Arrr!
