4.00Well planned, informed operator. Tour guide Andy/ Pete was great, friendly and accommodating. The tour ran to time. And thank goodness I didn't suffer sea sickness! I would advise to take the ginger tablets ahead of time and to do the morning tour

5.00The cruise was one of the highlights of my trip to Tasmania. The views were absolutely unreal, we saw dramatic cliffs, various wildlife and peculiar rock formations - all this natural scenery was unforgettable. I also chose an option to see the Tasmanian Unzoo, a very unique and closeup experience with all kind of wildlife. I even managed to see several Tasmanian devils! During my trip to Tasmania I visited I visited multiple wildlife parks and this was the only place I got to actually see them.

1.00They overloaded the boat and we were stuck in the back of the boat behind the toilet and the pilots panel. Could not see a thing except when they stopped and we had to get out of our seats in a rocky boat to try and take pictures. I fell on another passenger and luckily neither of us got hurt. These seats. We’re obviously not meant for passengers as we did not have seat belts while others did A dangerous situation for us and a horrible experience for an expensive excursion. We feel we should have some compensation We booked 15 tours with Viator on our trip to AU and NZ and this was the only disappointment. I would advise them to consider another outsource for this rxcurxion
Best Day in Tasmania!!

5.00Fantastic Day! Phil, our driver, was phenomenal. The best part of the day was the boat ride. We were treated with care and they were watching to see if anyone was getting sick (no one did). The lunch at the Lavendar was really good! Also enjoyed the Unzoo. Overall a fantastic day!!
Had a great time, great...

Amazing "ROCKS" at Tasman Island
Julysa L,Sep 13, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
3.00The Tasman Island cruise trip is quite good but a bit too long. The cruise brought us to different bays to watch various big and high ROCKS in a very close up mode, its amazing! Besides, we can also see those seals resting on the rocks. Please be reminded to wear enough clothes, as it is very windy, cold and have bellows, therefore, you will feel the trip is a bit long.
