Great day out and seeing the seals on the cliff walls was fantastic. Great fish and chips for lunch with very friendly staff all around. Special mention to “Little Ben” our driver/host very knowledgeable and a great guy made for the tourism game.

This tour was fabulous! It was the right blend of relaxing and exhilarating. Fletcher and Kate had us laughing and in awe most of the time. The food was sensational.

We had an amazing day at the Eco-cruise. Have seen many reviews recommending the Tasman Island cruise over this one but having done both I must say both are amazing in their own ways. The day was a gorgeous one and we had calm seas and clear skies and the whole day was curated in an awesome manner. Special mention to the awesome breakfast and amazing lunch included in the day..!

The experience we had on Bruny Island was surely the highlight of our holiday. The Island was beautiful and there were many things to see. We enjoyed trying the local produce. I will recommend this tour to everyone, it is worth the money. Our tour guide Jody was very knowledgeable and kind. She will go the extra mile to make your holiday more pleasant.

I feel like the trip was misrepresented on the website in all honesty. When I booked a ‘cruise’ with a lot of emphasis on seeing wildlife, I expected something relatively slow-paced, not essentially a rollercoaster ride! Obviously you’re going out on the open sea where there’s waves and weather, and I am not so naive as to expect absolutely no bumps or wind or splashes, but I didn’t expect to be spun around, splashed so extensively, taken within metres of rocks at extremely high speed, on what seemed to be a relatively calmer day! It honestly felt more like a log flume/rollercoaster hybrid, but if it had been disguised as a children’s merry-go-round. They handed out ginger tablets for sickness and got us to wear massive ponchos, but even if this is a clue (which I don’t think it is as you can experience sea-sickness on even a large slow cruise ship) but by this point you’re already on and have paid and it’s too late, and ginger tablets don’t stop you from being absolutely terrified or sore from being knocked about! Afterwards I read the website again several times to see if I’d missed something but I honestly don’t feel like I did. I spent most of the boat ride basically trying to shield my belongings from getting soaked, including my nice camera which is ironic seeing as one of the advertising lines they use is ‘don’t forget your camera’ - unless it’s very cheap, waterproof, backed up, or you don’t mind it getting potentially flung into the ocean, don’t! I do feel like this could have been fun if I’d known what to expect, and I’m sure a lot of people would book this knowing it’s more of a thrill ride than a wholesome calm nature-spotting cruise, but I do feel it was misrepresented and so like I wasted a day of my short trip on something I would not have booked if I’d known what it actually was. Another small thing - when we got to the restaurant for breakfast and lunch, I was seated with a different family because I was alone, and in the most distant corner of the restaurant furthest away from the nice views outside. After the food had been served (aka I wasn’t asking anyone to take my food elsewhere for me, and was hardly going to trash the table with a single muffin wrapper), I asked if I could go and sit outside instead, as I didn’t want to be sat with strangers, they clearly didn’t want a stranger sat with them, and I wanted to enjoy the view, and the waitress said that wasn’t allowed despite there being more empty tables than full. It was an otherwise small thing which I wouldn’t have normally included in the review if not for my discontent with the experience as a whole for 265 dollars. The views were stunning and we did see seals and lots of birds, and it was interesting and informative. I just wish it was better explained on the website.

Each trip can be totally different. One day fairly calm, easier to get closer to the seals and wall caves. The next, we experienced 2 to 3 meters swells, and approx 24 km. Winds. A bit more of a woohoo ride. Sure gave us great blow hole pictures. An earlier fall trip, Beginning of April makes a for a chillier ride. 100% A/C. The excellent crew of Kieran and James, ensure you are aware of safety and health requirements. They provide good commentaries on many aspects. Ginger pills and water were a welcome perk.. Morning tea and lunch were excellent. Served with a smile and good chance to chat with fellow travellers. Ferry line up made for a short wait, with the operators timing it well. Thank you for a good day
