5.00I was a bit worried I might get bored spending the day on the cruise and at Port Arthur, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. The coastline views were absolutely mesmerising, and the three hours on the water flew by. There was also so much to explore while walking around the historic Port Arthur site. I couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough.

5.00Great day. Bus driver Murray was very friendly and informative of the area. Dress warmly/correctly for the boat ride/sea conditions. It was an adventure and the skipper and deck hand was very knowledgeable with a little human. Port Arthur was wonderful and an eye opener about our Australian History.

3.00The tour was well planned and organised however the tour guides were less interactive and attentive then previous tours I've been on. I had an individual vomit next to me on the boat and was only moved to another seat, not offered any cloths etc to clean up my pants or shoes.

5.00We had an amazing day on the Tasman Island Cruises and Port Arthur Historic Site Day Tour from Hobart. The views were stunning, the cruise was exciting, and Port Arthur was full of history. What really made the day special was our driver, Paul he was friendly, funny, and full of great local knowledge. He kept everything running smoothly and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. It was a long day, but so worth it. If you’re thinking about doing this tour, I highly recommend it and hope you get Paul as your guide!
