5.00Well organised day. Driver/guide Taylor was very friendly provided great information and was a safe driver. Great scenery while in the boat that you wouldn’t see if on the land. Seals were fun. Lunch was very good too. Well worth the money for the day.
So beautiful

5.00This was a wonderful tour. We saw such beautiful landscapes and so many dolphins and seals. The guides were very knowledgeable and even found an albatross for me.
Happy traveller

5.00A great trip. Saw dophins, seals albatrosses, wallabies, caves and more. Wore rain gear but did not get wet. I am a senior and had no problem. The lunch and morning tea were delicious. We were well taken care of
Definitely recommend doing this tour while in Hobart!

5.00A lot to see on the way to Bruny and back. Plenty of animals on the side of the road and when on the boat ride. Taking the ferry while on the bus is super fun. The boats are powerfully and new so no concerns over running into issues. The dolphins and sea lions are probably the highlight of the trip and the food and tea coffee are good in amount and size. Isabel is an excellent tour guide and driver and can tell she likes what she does! She makes jokes and is friendly when you ask her questions. The one “bad” thing is there are no microphones and speakers on the boat so sometimes is hard ro hear and understand what the guides are saying is you’re sitting in the front part of the boat.

5.00We had a lovely day journeying to Bruny and cruising around the coastline to admire the geological wonders and wildlife. Dress warmly in layers (knit cap, jacket, a rain poncho, and gloves) because temperatures on the Tasmanian Sea are chilly, even in summer months. We had a knowledgeable guide and a humorous cruise captain to entertain us for the outing. It was interesting to hear explanations of the type of rocks and their formation. The tour wrapped with a lovely lunch and trip back into Hobart.
Wonderful! And we're so...

4.00Shamed my seafaring ancestors by getting sea sick. Not the fault of the tour who were really great in supporting me. Got to see dolphins and albatrosses, the sea cliffs and caves were amazing. A bit disappointed that we didn’t get to see more of the island. Really would have liked more time to see the lighthouse and see if we could spot some animals. Big shout out to the staff at the restaurant who were excellent and for having sanitary products available if you’re caught out.
