A great tour with entertaining commentary

So our guide Mick and offsider Joshua (?) did a terrific job with a well honed commentary of jokes that I am sure they have told many many times before but none the less, they have never told them to THIS group so we enjoyed the way their commentary added to the entertainment and information. In all honesty, the ride out was terrific, the ride back in was a bit tough but I think touring in Winter is always going to be a bit rough, bumpy and windy. None the less, this is what you come to Bruny island for and it was excellent all around.

Rug up

The only thing I would suggest is rug up it gets chilly out on the ocean. Passengers are provided with a waterproof kind of onesie , which is fantastic, but you definitely need some layers underneath

Great for value!

Great value and such a wonderful experience! 🥰 We honestly couldn’t fault a thing and enjoyed our experience so much! Just wanted to give a special thank you to the staff as well. We were actually running about 5 minutes late due to unexpected road closure, but the staff were so helpful. They called to check on us and, when we arrived at the office, checked us in really quickly, which saved us so much time with all the admin. Really appreciated their kindness and understanding! ❤️

Fantastic day out on the water🦭👌

Truly a fabulous day on the water. I drove from Hobart (departed at 0730 - perfect time) . Caught the ferry from Kettering early cost approx $54 return. Then it was another 30+ minutes to adventure bay. Going early was fantastic because there was little traffic and I could stop and look on the way. There is a fantastic restaurant to sit beforehand. Please wear lots of layers, gloves, beanie, cover your ears and neck. Nick & Andrew were brilliant - the weather was perfect- the waves were awesome and boat ride was fantastic. We saw seals and albatross. The scenery was spectacular. The two guides obviously love what they do - there knowledge is fantastic and their humour the same. If you get sea sick take pills before hand. Definitely glad I did it. Thanks heaps👌🦭
