Brilliant Experience!!

Phenomenal experience; informative but not overwhelming, exciting way to see the beautiful landscapes, and we were lucky to see lots of wildlife too (dolphins and seals). Lily and Josh were fabulous boat crew from 24/4/26. In all the whole team was very accommodating for my 92yo grandfather; a young male (originally from VIC) even helped drive him down to the boats early. Then Lily, Josh from our boat and ?Sean from the other boat were so lovely, and even kind enough to spend time chatting to my Grandfather about boats, fishing and motorbikes. We really appreciate it!

A great time at the Tasman Peninsula Cruise

Not to miss experience if you are in Tasmania. Great staff and our skipper/Guide with her assistant were both very knowledgeable and has great navigating skills. She looks so young yet she is so good!

This cruise was...

This cruise was fantastic, our skippers were full of knowledge and made the whole journey amazing. We were lucky enough to see a young humpback whale breach right in front of us, among dolphins, seals, albatross and Tuna
