The coastal boat excursion and wildlife were fabulous and Port Arthur came to life with the guide. !!

Sumeet_D

Had an incredible Tasman Island cruise experience, thanks to Phil, our bus driver, who was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The boat trip truly stood out, offering us the joy of watching seals and seabirds up close—undeniably the highlight. The visit to Port Arthur was equally memorable; our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, providing deep insights into the historical significance of the area. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for an engaging mix of adventure and history.

Cruise around Tasman Island was excellent. Added bonus being a clear day, we were able to travel all the way to Port Arthur, seeing seal colonies with lots of pups along the way. Bus Driver and Boat Crew were most helpful and well informed. Highly recommend.

What an awesome trip! The cruise was the best part - where you can see all the cliffs and rock formations and seals! Dress warmly as it was still cold in January. Port Arthur was also a great place to visit. We chose to do our own thing there instead of joining the group tour as we wanted to wander around at our own pace especially with the kids. The lunch provided was generous and delicious! My only let down was that all the single travellers sat alone on the bus leaving a tonne of single sits meaning families and couples had to sit apart. It would have been great if the singles were asked to sit together.

This tour was fabulous. The island cruise was outstanding. (Plus I got at least four new birds on my life list!) Lunch was lovely. Port Arthur was great too, but not really suitable for physically challenged or disabled people, being a very hilly site. The shuttles were great though, and we got one where the driver took us on a little tour, pointing out places we hadn’t been able to walk to. Thanks very much, and I would recommend your company any time!

Good historical detail of the penal colony. Not very meaningful unless you are interested in Australian history. Over an hour drive from Hobart which provides some good views of part of the island.

Wendy_G

It was a thrilling experience. The bus driver was friendly and full of anecdotes. The boat crew were knowledgable, entertaining and capable. We were awestruck by the beauty of the sea cliffs, and the seals were very cute. The adventure of bouncing along the waves was exhilarating. The Port Arthur heritage site was fascinating. Definitely worth the money.

Wonderful speed boat cruise of the Tasmanian coast and wildlife + very warm day at Port Arthur historic site in the afternoon. Highly recommended.
