Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We have been coming to “The Prom” for 50 years and the Wilson’s Prom cruise we did recently was the best thing we have ever done here. Our skipper Justin and our guide Sam were professional, knowledgeable, friendly and superb hosts who guided us from Norman Bay and out to South Point, the lighthouse, Skull Rock and home via glimpses of The Glennies. Along the way we were entertained and tutored about flora, fauna and animals that included Sea Eagles, Falcons, Seals and even a juvenile Humpback whale that we saw up close and personal. What a fabulous experience, that I highly recommend.

This was an absolutely awesome experience!
Having sailed in Europe and NZ I can honestly say this was up there with an uniquely Australian feel and experience.
From the moment we stepped into the front office we felt welcomed by Tara to the boys on the boat Toby and Sam who were so caring informative and friendly.
Scull rock was unique and so amazing up close, the photos don’t do it justice.
Would definitely recommend and do this trip again, I feel there would be something new to see every time!
Worth every $ and our teenage kids loved it.

Stunning boating experience along the Prom coast, down to the southern most tip of Australia and around spectacular islands abundant with seal life. I didn’t feel sea sick (thanks to the ginger tablets that were offered). The crew were very knowledgeable, friendly and talented boat handlers. This trip was exhilarating- highly recommended!

This was an extraordinary, unique and brilliant experience, very well organised with the pre departure crew being friendly and polite. Sam and H were our captain/tour guide and they were fantastic.
The scenery is spectacular. The wildlife, including seals was incredible. But the obvious highlight was seeing a pod of nine orcas frolicking in the ocean. Our captain changed up the tour so we got to spend a good 40 minutes following these magnificent creatures.
It almost topped skull rock, almost.
It is a must do. Oh and my daughter who is very prone to sea sickness was absolutely fine.

Wow have these guys got it right. Friendly staff who were just so helpful all day. The food oh my it was good. Morning tea, lunch, dessert and an awesome fruit platter for arvo tea. All individually served being very COVID safe.
The scenery was just spectacular. Crystal clear waters and a boulders of all shapes and sizes created such a picturesque views of the Prom. The cruise went for 9 hours and other than the hour and half we were ashore, swimming in Refuge cove we were spotting seals and loads of native birds.
Certainly the best way to see Wilson’s Prom. I will certainly go again.

We had a terrific day down the east coast of Wilsons promontory. Leaving from Pt Welshpool in the morning mist, the sun came out on and off and we had a varied appreciation of this spectacular coast with its sandy beaches, magnificent rocks and majestic hills. The crew was friendly and particularly well organised. WE enjoyed multiple coffees and biscuits, morning and afternoon tea. The lunch was very well presented in individual little boxes with bamboo cutlery , plentiful and tasty. It as great having a warm potato as we admired the scenery on the top deck . The 2 hours stopover in Refuge cove gave us the opportunity for a walk, Highlights were the numerous seals sunning themselves and jumping off into the sea from seal rock and the dolphins following the boat on 2 different occasions..

Amazing tour we loved seeing the large seal colony and we got to see a large pod of dolphins! Skull island was awesome and got to tick off going to the most southerly point of Australia mainland and the most southern Australia mainland lighthouse. The guys were great and made the tour fun!!!

We did the trip yesterday and, although the weather wasn’t great, the experience was wonderful. Our two guides were knowledgeable, they handled the boat skilfully, the scenery was amazing. We did the Bruny Island trip a few years ago but this was far better. Scenery you’ll never see other than by boat. Great value.

Perfect sunshiny day on the water, exciting trip, pretty bumpy on the way out so grateful for the ginger tablets provided. Skull rock was sensational, loved the playful seals and was fabulous to see the lighthouse. I’ve stayed and hiked at the Prom a dozen times but this new perspective was amazing. Thanks Dave for just the right balance of humour, passion and commentary.

What’s the best time to do this? 11am or 2pm?
Written 14 December 2023
the Prom cruise experience will differ, depending on the weather, time etc. but that won’t detract from the day. We did the morning trip, in overcast, drizzly weather, but that brought out the colours in the rock formation. whenever you do it, in whatever weather, it will be memorable.
