Don't miss this day tour, where you get to see and smell the seals, look toward Antactica, feel the swell of the great Southern Ocean and eat local oysters, cheese etc. More

A lovely island full of spectacular views, great walks, clean air, fantastic sunsets and the stars at night... Don't just go for the day, stay overnight at least More

There are a couple of flavours for this trip. One departs Hobart - is a full day trip including lunch. The other is a 3 hour trip departing Adventure Bay on Bruny Island - which is part of the larger trip. We took the shorter, cheaper 3 hour excursion which is the scenic part. The boat is very open -... More

I'm sure Bruny Wildlife Adventures wants its clients to have a wonderful experience. However, if the weather is the least bit questionable don't spend the money. Our day out was miserable - rain and rough water spoiled the day. It was difficult to enjoy the scenery and the animals. I give credit to the guides, and the quality of their... More

A very interesting tour with knowledgable staff, enjoyable despite the strong winds and high swell (well timed giving out of the hand-warmers by the crew!) We had amazing views of the coastline and the seals were awesome! No dolphins or whales this time (slightly too early but I will be back to see these!) Slightly expensive, but well worth a... More

The tour is outstanding. Staffs are very polite and helpful. Even the tour is little bit expensive compared with other companies, it’s completely worth it. The tour includes a ferry trip from Hobart to Bruny Island, then a drive from North Bruny Island to Adventure Bay. Lunch is very fresh with good quality standard, including fresh bread, oysters, salmon, cheese,... More

This was on my to do list in Hobart. I was very apprehensive to do it cruise as I have a bad record with rough water and boats. But to my fears Ben told us at book in that the day we chose to sail was predicited to be very smooth (For Southern Ocean). Well how right he was apparently... More

This is an outstanding tour run with great efficiency by an operator whose staff are excellent. The ferry trip to Bruny Island is a gentle start to the day, followed by a drive from North Bruny Island to Adventure Bay to catch their specially designed high speed but very stable boat for the trip along the imposing cliffs and out...

A week ago my partner and i did the Bruny Wildlife Adventure with Hobart Cruises. It was awesome. The highlight was defiantly seeing seals both on the rocks and in the water under the boat. The boat had this underwater submarine thing with a camera on it … it was out of this world. The guide on the tour was... More
