Great experience thoroughly enjoyed.

Great experience thoroughly enjoyed. Staff fantastic making sure the boat rotated 360 degrees for everyone to view caves and wildlife. The staff made sure ginger tablets were supplied with no extra cost. The boat was very comfortable and still gave the opportunity to enjoy the elements.

It is a must trip when you visit Hobart

It is a must trip when you visit Hobart. It is totally worth it. The natures and the sceneries are absolutely breathtaking. Part of the admission fee is used for preserving the natures and surroundings. The guides are very knowledgeable. What a wonderful experience.

Very professional outfit but still felt like they were there just for us

Very professional outfit but still felt like they were there just for us, from the staff, boat, bus and tour. Gave very interesting information about what you saw. The scenery and marine life an incredible experience. They even thought of giving you a sea sick pill before you started which was your choice of course. I went on the Tasman coastline tour. Next time I might try the Bruny Island one, if I ever get back, though it doesn't matter which one because it is just an incredible way to see the Tasmanian coastline. Got some great pics but its one of those once in a lifetime opportunities. I took my grown children so at the time of booking hoped that it would be good. At first, I thought it was a lot of money for 5 adults 1 child. But glad I took a leap of faith because I think it was the best thing we did in Tassie.
