Amazing Experience

Shaun 18 April 2021

The whole experience was amazing, staff were very helpful and professional, the service was great from morning tea at the lavender farm to a generous lunch at Port Arthur . Highlight was definitely the cruise. A sensational lifetime experience to witness dolphins, fur seals and a humpback whale in the wild. The scenery was spectacular too.

Very happy

Great day trip

Larissa 21 June 2019

The bus ride over from Hobart was great with Phil providing commentary. The boat ride itself was spectacular even on a rough day - absolutely gorgeous views. You are given an oilskin to keep you dry, but your face and shoes are likely to get a bit wet! Like they say, it is an adventure cruise so can get a bit bumpy but still felt perfectly safe with an experienced crew. If you're at all prone to sea sickness, beware - one poor woman on the boat felt awful the whole time despite the crew being very helpful and comforting. I had to change the day I went and this was no trouble at all. I also left something behind on the bus and they were great at looking for it and getting back to me! If you have any dietary requirements apart from vegetarian, do let them know in advance as I'm not sure how easy it is for them to cater that on the day. As for doing Port Arthur afterwards, it is a short time to spend at the site, but enough to get a good overview and a quick look around - if you really want to explore, perhaps best to save it for a whole day. Otherwise, a fantastic day, one of the highlights of my brief trip to Hobart for sure!

Amazing Experience

This was a fantastic experience. The customer service was excellent. The guides both on the boat and off the boat were amazing. The sights were beautiful and being able to see dophins and Seals nice and close was a fantastic experience. We had a young child on board which I was a little worried about however they made the experience great and were very helpful.
