The whole day was so well planned and executed. From when to stop for views to meals. Excellent commentary. Very friendly staff … Michael and Zoe … who involved everybody personally. And of course magic views. Thanks for a brilliant day.

Highly recommend this trip. A full day of wonderful unique sights only to be seen from the boat and a good easy walk on Maria Island. Zoe certainly enhanced the experience with her knowledge. Great crew (Michael - skipper, who made the most of every opportunity for us to be able to see as much as possible, and Zoe). The morning tea and lunch was very good. Numbers are limited to a small group with which to share the experience with without feeling crowded.

Our Skippers commentary was excellent, clear, engaging and very informative, loved the way some knowledge of geography makes the viewing of interesting rocks so much more . Milly our first mate ensured everyone was enjoying themselves , answered all our questions with a wealth of knowledge and served us a delicious fresh morning tea and lunch. It was a fun and her guided walk was thoroughly enjoyable.

We loved every minute of our time on this cruise, absolutely great value and super well organised and professional. Our skipper was as good at providing interesting facts and explanations as he was at managing the boat and Our experienced first mate Milly looked after us and took us on a great informative and easy walk around Darlington. The food was excellent and the company is very thoughtful about dietary requirements. A really great and memorable day out, thank you Maria Island tours!

They circumnavigate the island explaining the geologic wonders that you are seeing, and serve you lunch! What a deal! Also landed at Darlington for several hours to see the sights. We took the shuttle to and from Hobart. Holly gets a special shout out as our driver, drink and food server and super all around boat hand!! You Go Girl!

Other than a world class cruise to see mother nature’s glorious geology animals and birds, from pristine waters the guides Michael and Milly were just superb. Responsive to our collective fascination and wonder and serving our every physical need on a day I will remember all my life.

Our day was SO GOOD. Michael and Millie were so knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The weather was kind, the wildlife abundant, and memories of dolphins following the boat will stay with me forever.

We recently did a cruise around Maria Island with Maria Island Cruises! We had the best day! A highlight of our tassie trip most definitely. Everything about the trip was fantastic! The knowledge shared by skipper Michael was unbelievable! He is so passionate about the Island and it's nature & history! The catering was outstanding. Beautifully presented and tasty food not just your ordinary cruise lunch food! The staff Millie & Rachel were very helpful and obliging in every way. Would definitely recommend and will do this cruise again when in Tasmania next! 💯 %👌👌

I’ve been to Maria Island many times. Always had a great time. Never, however, done the circumnavigation cruise. It’s way above expectations. Not only the cruise itself but the knowledge of the crew and the top notch customer service. It’s worth every penny.

Wow! This one is not to be missed. We took our three teenagers on this cruise and it was thoroughly enjoyed by both parents and teens. Beautiful is an understatement and the crew was relaxed, friendly and made it such an easy, enjoyable day for us. Nothing is too much trouble and they are so passionate about the environment and its history. The tour came recommended by a friend and I will be passing the recommendation on to all I know. Geology, so many animals, history, scenery, great food, wine, yummy treats, pristine waters.
