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...

Four hours of fun with entertaining, informative crew. Seeing Bruny Island from the sea travelling very close to huge cliffs, rocky outcrops, islands and coast was amazing. We saw caves, kelp and a wide variety of sea birds and fur seals. We were lucky with the weather, I would not go out on a bad day it would be very... More

At $125 I had second thoughts about doing this cruise but I am so glad I did. It was fantastic. Our two guides were helptul, friendly, amusing (without ever using put down humour) and extremely well informed and interesting. To view Bruny from the ocean is magnificient - it is breathtakingly beautiful. The trip to see the seals was great... More

Our family did the Bruny Island 3 hour eco-adventure cruise and it was one of the highlights of our 2 weeks in Tasmania. The crew were very entertaining and very engaging. We found the whole day to be a great experience. Would thoroughly recommend if you are planning a trip to Tasmania to see a part of it you wouldn't... More

very interesting. My husband still talks about the oysters that we bought, fresh, from a dealer just off the boat. Doesn't get much better. Took the ferry and drove around.

We loved this 3 hour trip. Calling it a "cruise" is a misnomer. It's quite exciting and not for those prone to sea sickness. The boats go very fast, turn swiftly and race at narrow spaces in rocks which you think won't accomodate the boat but do. It's not for the faint hearted. But there were several young children on...

Easter weekend was spent in the best way possible, It was one of the best tours of Tasmania. The staff were nice and friendly right from check-in. The drive from Hobart to Bruny was a good & informative one as well with great views of the city. Once in Bruny, the included breakfast was adequate and thereafter the fun started.... More
