Incredible Cruise

The cruise to Cape Raoul was fabulous. The boat was very comfortable and very safe. The scenery was out of this world, the rock pillars at the Cape have to be seen to be believed. We saw two varieties of seal and numerous dolphins. The crew were fantastic.. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Port Arthur historic site, where we spent several hours exploring the buildings and learning about the lives of the convicts and others who lived there.

Wonderful tour out on the water

Really beautiful cruise out to see gorgeous sea cliffs on a large ship with a professional and knowledgeable crew. There is definitely a lot of rocking as the boat motors over swells but it’s a lot of fun and I did not feel sick at all standing at the back of the ship with the wind at my face.
