5.00Very well coordinated. Boat was great and the sights spectacular. Very nice lunch, be careful with the morning tea as it may not agree with the rolling seas.
Fantastic adventure .. loved it !

5.00From the moment we arrived at the tour base, this trip was obviously run by people who loved what they do. Liam, the guide, was passionate about what Tasmania and Bruny Island had to offer. The tour centre at Adventure Bay offered great food and Coffee, with great service. The boat trip was amazing. Mick, the skipper, handled the boat and the commentary like an old pro. This trip is a great balance of thrills and adventure, mixed with natural beauty and wildlife. Cannot recommend this trip enough.
Best choice

5.00It was the best idea to choose this trip on Tasman Island. The guide was informative, engaged and caring. All things were well organised including the schedule during the day, comfortable bus, coffee break and tasty lunch. During the trip we've seen amazing landscapes and many local animals. Likely the weather was warm and sunny, but still you should be prepared and wear warm clothes, cause the wind during the cruise part was very-very strong. I guess this trip is for all ages but not for babies. The amount of admission fee was applicable and 100% worth. Our group was big but it didn't disturb us.

4.00The weather was not ideal for this trip. Four-metre-high waves, rain and, finally, hail. Only thanks to the pills that were handed out and a very cautious boat driver did no one have to throw up. The trip was wet, cold and brutal. Was it worth it? Certainly not because of the animals; we saw maybe four or five seals and a few gannets diving into the sea. However, the landscape, the rock formations and the experience itself will remain in our memories. So, all in all, it was a success.
Fantastic and almost a must!

5.00We were lucky as it was a sunny day with good temperature. We leave Hobart by bus to Bruny Island. There we were waiting for the boat in which we did a 3hour tour around the island. We saw beautiful landscapes, seals and dolphins.
Great trip but lots of travel time

4.00Beautiful scenery on the drive and from the boat. Most of the trip is spent driving to and from Adventure Bay. Lunch is provided and acts a time buffer whilst waiting for various other groups to arrive. Would recommend the boat trip but consider a self-drive option next time
Once in a lifetime experience
