Loved the 30 minutes cruise, the seperate prisons and the whole place. Most importantly how accessible the whole trip was. I traveled with senior family members they did not have any problem anywhere during the trip.

A very interesting day out and we were very much kept informed by Hugo our bus driver who was very knowledgeable, witty and accommodating everyone with our drop offs. Thank you.

This experience exceeded expectations. Colin was a great tour leader, and his chatter added to my knowledge. This is an important historical site, and the three hours on site were not quite enough to see everything. Go!

I had a wonderful time on this tour! The guide was very passionate about the history and geology of the area. The scenery was breathtaking, and the highlight was definitely the caves and the Tasman Arch. The pickup and drop-off were convenient, and the overall experience was very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tasmania.

The tour was absolutely great although the weather was rainy near the end. The tour guide was very informative about the area and the bus was very comfortable. The cruise was great, and the right amount of time. We had a fabulous time and would recommend this tour to everyone. This was the best full day tour we've been on.
