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!

5.00The tour was planned out very well, fast communication as well. The food provided was great, especially at Port Arthur. The staff on the boat were very helpful and friendly. It was a rainy and cloudy day when we went but still, the views of the cliffs and wildlife was amazing, definitely a "must-do" when in Tasmania.
Unbelievable beauty

5.00The Tasman island cruise is worth it for sure! It gets cold on the way back, dress warm. If you're prone to seasickness, skip, but it depends on the sea conditions. We saw whales, seals, birds, and bottlenose dolphins but the highlight is just the dolomite rocks. Unbelievable

5.00Amazing this walk, would definitely do again. The boat ride was the best part, asked to tighten up the belts, then we understand, it is emotion after emotion in the waves and near the rocks. We saw sea lions and dolphins. Show.
A well planned day where...
