This for me is the best tourist activity I've ever been on, in the world. The brochure is good and the reality is 100's of times better. These operators are perfection, knowledgable and delighful. Highly recommended.

Extremely well organised. Very knowledgable tour guides. We were all offered natural seasickness tablets. It was very cold in December, so suggest dressing warmly any time of the year. Large waterproof overcoats provided. As always with nature, you never quite know what you are going to see on the day, but there's always something. Incredible scenery and wildlife. A must... More

We absolutely loved this cruise - the two staff were incredibly knowledgeable and interested in their jobs (and funny!), the facts were interesting, the tour itself was awesome, and the highlight was most definitely the pod of dolphins, including baby! It was a great cruise, would highly recommend it. If you have young kids I would question whether they are... More

The weather was typical cold, with a few showers and the seas a little bumpy, but the staff were amazing in making this trip truly memorable and amazing. The boat was driven so close to the cliffs and we saw amazing sea life. I think the weather made the trip just more exciting, with a real taste of the high... More

It was a beautiful day, thus crowded, in Bruny Island. Everyone is happy with the sun shining all day long, which was amazing after a few gloomy days and a blizzard on Mount Wellington (in October!). The tour started in Hobart with a cool ride around town (as you know uphill downhill Tassie) before boarding the ferry to Bruny. Our... More

What can I say others haven't. Fabulous weather and flat seas. The better half gets sick on a wet carpet and she survived the full 3 hour trip. We made it all the way out into the Southern Ocean to the little islands (the Friars I think) to see the seals and went out from the coast searching successfully for... More

From the moment you arrive at Bruny Island Cruises you are looked after, entertained, excited, sometimes a tiny bit scared and completely overwhelmed by the extraordinary beauty of this enchanting place. There were three boats that went out on the morning we went and we had Rob and Ido as our captain and deckhand. They both kept up a very... More

We are local Tasmanian's and recently decided to have a look around in our own backyard. This tour is brilliant. From the moment we phoned up to book to the final drop off was such a positive experience. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. The scenery was spectacular. The wildlife amazing. The boats very comfortable and safe. Could not... More

We did the Bruny Island Cruise while in Tasmania recently, one of the best experience we have ever had. From the minute the Bruny Island bus picked us up at Kettering our driver Col was a comedian who had the entire bus laughing on most of the trip, who would have thought the bus ride could be so memorable for...
