We booked and went on the cruise on a Friday. We were briefed on safety etc and once we were all onboard given the option of Ginger tablets to help anyone with sea sickness, they were really good and if anyone felt sea sick they were to just tell them. I do suffer and had taken something, so much to... More

My fiancee and I went on the Bruny Island Cruise and were lucky enough to be on the boat that Rob Pennicott was skipper of. His enthusiasm and sense of fun and adventure was inspiring and the staff reflect that. They were all friendly, helpful and sharing of their knowledge of the area, the wildlife and other attractions. Great fun,... More

we were brought to the southest of the island which is seal colony. If you luck, you can see dolphins and whale. Staff are friendly. Before departure, they would distribute a pill which avoid sea sick. More

Great scenery, wildlife and mother nature at her finest - in any weather this trip would be great. Good windproof jackets... More

I'd been going to Bruny Island for years, this cruise gave me a different perspective on an island whose secrets I thought I knew. It belts you down to the south of the island in a jet boat where tall stone columns and arches, surging seas, seals, dolphins and and horizons of clean, empty ocean remind you that Tasmania's wilderness...

We joined the cruise at the Kettering pickup and we were looked after by informative, friendly, competent and organized staff for the day from that point on. This team work well together and are passionate about what they do. The cruise itself was informative and enjoyable and the highlight was probably seeing the hundreds of seals towards the conclusion of... More

Had a great time today out on this tour. Friends had done it previously and raved about it, so we had to go this time in Hobart. What a day! Saw amazing things and the experience of being taken out into the Great Southern Ocean was second to none. We had a rough day today and the waves were choppy,... More
