  • Super Amazing Experience

    This cruise was amazing! Highly recommend! You get to see so many things/wildlife on the boat and then stop in Darlington to view wildlife and take a tour. My daughter and I branched off for a quick dip in the crystal clear waters. Definitely the highlight of the trip. Oh and so many delicious food, drinks, snacks and ice cream on board. There is a nice bathroom on the boat too.

  • Worth visiting. Spectacular view and cute wildlife. Staffs very professional and friendly.

    We had a wonderful time. The scenery was spectacular, and the island has many different landscapes to explore. The staff were very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. It was nice that everything, food and drinks, all covered. The food and snacks were delicious. We had seasick on a boat, and they always ensure we were ok.

  • Very good experience,...

    Very good experience, staff(Vivia, Michael) are friendly, food is enough, the guidance and walk of Vivia on the island is nice. Maybe it can be better if you can add a few lines to tell customers ' cold on sea, wear more clothes' in the reservation email

  • A very good tour all round

    The road to the harbour for the ferry ride is pleasant and the cruise to the island was insightful and Captain Steven was a professional in manoeuvring the boat. The walk around the island was pleasant

  • Fantastic day trip

    Wow, what a fantastic day out this was. We got picked up in Hobart via the courtesy transfer by Rachel who anccompanied us for the day and got taken down to the port in Triabunna. From there we had chance to get coffee etc once we had “checked in” all staff were so friendly and helpful. Once aboard the boat, the captain/owner Mike introduced himself and gave us a bit of a low down on boat safety. We then set off for a magical day, whilst the swell was a little wild in parts, Mike was very courteous and was checking all passengers were ok and not feeling poorly. He was exceptionally knowledgeable and gave some fascinating commentary. We were provided morning tea which consisted of a drink and three small bits of cake and then a bit later, we had lunch. I opted for the vege salad and it tasted amazing, although there was far too much of it!!! We then made our way to the mainland where we saw plenty of wildlife, including wombats, lizards & an Echidna. After a couple of hours we made our journey back to the harbour and then on to Hobart. Whilst the weather was a bit of a nuisance (it was very windy) this did not deter from a fantastic day out. Mike and Rachel were amazing and I would thoroughly recommend this tour.
