Traveler reviews
Fast adventure ride on the ocean
Absolutely brilliant fun. Small group size for a three hour boat trip around the stunning Tasmanian Peninsula but this was unlike any boat trip I’ve been on - I swear this was like jet boating on the ocean!! It was excellent fun, we saw dolphins, seals and albatross really close up, as well as stunning scenery. Cannot recommend this enough. The commentary was both informative and funny.
Journey to the Great Southern Ocean
A fantastic day out! Everything was well organized yet relaxed! The crew were really knowledgeable (and funny! High five to Isabell and Dana (our skipper and deckie) their experience was evident in navigating the seas. We saw seals and plenty of birds Jordy was a fantastic guide/driver (5 stars Jordy!) He was extremely knowledgeable about Bruny and just an overall good human! Lunch was superb! Would recommend taking warm clothes for the boat trip!
Extraordinary cruise if the 3 Capes, Tasmania
This tour exceed all expectations! We had a summary day with calm seas. Nick took us out from Stewart’s Bat, looping past Cape Pillar and Cape Huoy before returning to Pirates Bay. His commentary was really informative. We saw the Port Arthur historical sight from the sea, Tasman Island, a blowhole and the amazing cliffs of the 3 Capes. But the best bit was undoubtedly the wildlife. Eagles, albatross, an enormous bait ball which attracted shearwaters, dolphins and seals, and baby seal pups on the rocks. This is a must do experience.
Outstanding. Highly recommended
This was a fantastic day out. Our captain, Tom, was brilliant. So knowledgeable and top shelf Dad jokes. His offsides, Ange, was lovely and super helpful. She managed to spot the Eagle up high in the trees. She was so welcoming and was making sure she talked to everyone. They showed us some truly stunning scenery and found so much amazing wild life. We had seals, dolphins, all kinds of birds and even managed to find mountain climbers. Highly recommend this company. This was our second tour with them and both were just fantastic. So professional. So well prepared and made sure it was great value for money of both trips.
Great Tassie views!
Fantastic scenery ! Very professional and knowledgeable staff. Great close up views of dolphins and seals. Highly recommend for all age groups.
