Beautiful 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

Make sure you take gloves and beanies. It gets very cold on the other side. It also gets extremely rough out there. I usually get seasick, but I took tablets before and I got through it. It is a really great experience

We had an incredible time on this tour! Taylor is an outstanding guide - engaging, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing Bruny Island’s history. The tour struck the perfect balance between fun and fascinating, and the team made sure everything ran smoothly. My partner and I felt completely looked after from start to finish. If you're visiting Hobart, this experience is an absolute must.

This tour is unreal. Wear warm clothing and have the ride of your life. This is not the tour to go on if you get sea sickness

What a great time we had on this Pennicott cruise. Everyone from our bus driver Josh who was very friendly and knowledgeable to Jordi who accompanied us on the boat and was attentive and knowledgeable and to our skipper who happened to be Robert Pennicott himself! We had challenging conditions but at no time did we feel unsafe. This company feels like a close knit family. The morning tea and lunch were also delicious and sourced from local produce. Would highly recommend this tour.

The full day Bruny Island cruise we experienced at Pennicott Cruises exceeded our expectations. All the staff from the check-in ladies at Hobart harbour to the Adventure Bay staff were so friendly and fully trained in customer satisfaction. A special mention though goes out to our driver and tour guide for the day Ollie. Ollie added that special something to the day from his comments about the Tasmanian wildlife to the local history and of course his safe driving. Also our boat captain “Mick” had some very funny jokes and tales about the landmarks on the cruise. Thank you Pennicott.
