    Tim is an amazing guide and we enjoyed every bit of the cruise along the southern ocean . The knowledge and hospitality of Tim’s team is what keeps this trip a notch above the rest.

    Just a breathe taking experience at the cruise 🛳. Make sure you keep yourself warm and cosy. Seal lions, beautiful mountains and Port Arthur was a must see

  4. Katrina_B

    Delicious coffee stop, beautiful boat ride with sea eagle sightings, seal sightings and even an albatross sighting

    Loved the trip from start to finish, the boat tour was amazing and the tour guides did an amazing job giving us insight on the outskirts of port Arthur as well as the beautiful animals we seen along the way ☺️
    We were looked after so well, they really thought of everything. Had meals prepared. It was very cold for me and my family since were from the tropics but we loved to rug up. My family especially enjoyed the historic sites and the history we learned. Definitely want to go again. Definitely recommend!

    Excellent day out. Very match enjoyed the boat trip but luckily enough the weather was kind to us and it wasn’t too bumpy! We were lucky to see a variety of birds, seals and even a whale or two albeit just a fin and tail! We were have preferred slightly longer at Port Arthur. The tour guide there was very informative and we learnt a lot about the penal system as it was it the 19th century. Mitch our driver was good and pointed out various interesting places. Would recommend but a long day

    Most amazing day. The staff were amazing and very knowledgeable. We were extremely lucky to see a whale and her young and a large pod of playful dolphins. Waterfalls and amazing rock formations. I would definitely recommend this trip.

    From the time you get on the Bus in Hobart till the time you get off the boat at Eaglehawk Neck. The guides (Bus Driver Manny) & Boat crew (Lilly & Anna) were totally amazing with there local knowledge and explaining the local history along the way. Well done team.
    The weather gods where not so kind at Port Arthur. Bit damp, did what we could between shower.

    Our speed oat had 2 excellent young men who gave us not only excellent commentary, but stopped a number of times as we were going along the coast. We saw a humpback whale, as well as a whole sesrm of porpoises all around our boat and numerous seals on the rocks. The mighty cliffs were absolute stunning. And that was before getting to Port Arthur where I had 3 hours to explore the prison and all the buildings. Excellent tour.

    From the time we joined the tour with Phil (our driver for the day), we instantly felt welcome and knew it was going to be a good day. The hospitality shown at the local cafe where we stopped for morning tea was also fantastic. The cruise was breath-taking and Lily and Nick the perfect hosts on this magnificent adventure. Port Arthur was just as beautiful yet eerie as I remember. Highly recommend this tour. These guys are all class!!

  13. Tobias_J

    We saw whales, dolphins, tunas, albatrosses etc. Furthermore, we saw great nature – it was an amazing trip that we will never forget 😁

    The southern part of the peninsula and the awesome beauty of the towering cliffs. We also got to experience seeing whales.

  15. Elaine_B

    Seeing the dolphins and seals playing along side the boat and the solitary sea eagle.
    Also the incredible rock formations along the coast.

    Stress free coach travel.
    Amazing coastline, great boat ride, outstanding commentary and humour. Top experience in Tasmania.
    Port Arthur always worth another look. Lighting was excellent for photography.

  17. Karen

    Great day with incredible scenery and all the staff went out of their way to make it a great day. Well organised and well worth the trip.

  18. Kim_W

    Chris and Kia were our tour guides. They were outstanding with their knowledge of the topography, marine life and had a sense of humour which made our day. The fact that they showed they cared for their guests and the cost of the tour included food was perfect. Highly recommend your company and the guides. Thanks so much.

    Overall I enjoyed the day although bad weather spoilt the boat part in the morning. Despite the good ponchos handed out I was drenched and cold for the whole boat trip. The friendly staff did their best in the circumstances.
    Port Arthur was very interesting despite my sqelchy feet – which did dry out a bit – and the time we had there was enough to whet the appetite for a return visit.

    Highlight was the the Tasman Island Cruise, which is fantastic. Amazing views, various wildlife seen and just a really good experience. You will need a good constitution though as there are few toilet facilities. The Port Arthur historic site day was ok, but your really should come at the beginning and not at the end. This latter part is too long and it would be better to have included a quick trip to see the Tasmanian Devils.
