The staff we encountered, Phil our bus driver, Kane the Captain and Damo his deck head were all brilliant. Unfortunately, we were stuck in the back seat. Your view is obstructed and these should be sold at a discount or not at all. Yes, you can stand up but you’re made to wear a ridiculously long spray jacket which makes it difficult to move.

The view of the vertical dolerite cliffs was amazing. The natural beauty of creation!
Saw the Australian and New Zealand seals and had dolphins swimming around our boat, that was a great bonus to this wonderful trip!

Excellent tour. The boat along the coast was really exciting. They showed us many animals along the way. We saw a whale, many birds, seals … it was lovely.
Our driver John was really nice and funny. Afterwards John took us to Port Arthur. The grounds are beautiful with lots of history. Thank you guys. You made our trip to Tassie a memorable one. Cheers

Our driver was exceptional and couldn't be more accommodating. Loved the boat ride, although the two young guys weren't as professional. (eg, saying that they laugh when people throw up on the boat, spent time to try and retrieve a cuttle fish for a budgie when people were more interested in the seals, giving too much information about rock climbing [which seemed to be the thing that interested the person more than his job]. They could learn alot from the older guide on how to interact with people and not assuming that people on the trip haven't been on boats before. The scenery was stunning, and the staff at the office were very pleasant. Would recommend a tour to others and hopefully they can see some of the wonders that Tassie has to offer. At the end our driver took us for a walk to the Remarkable cave to fill in the spare time and really took care of us. Great job

The day before my Tasman Island Tour I received a call to say my booked tour was cancelled due to forecast bad weather and offered the opportunity to swap to a morning Cruise instead.
Fortunately I was able to swap my plans - this was one activity on my priority list for my trip to Tasmania and I was not disappointed.
The Pennicott Journeys team was awesome. We all met at their base on the Tasman Peninsula for a briefing and provision of wet weather gear. It was well organised and I felt that all safety aspects of the trip were covered.
We were transferred by bus to the wharf at Pirates Bay and the fun began.
The sea was rough, the weather was wild and totally suited the rugged environment of the Tasman Peninsula. Unfortunately due to movement of the boat and the misty drizzle was not a good day for photos but the experience is certainly etched in my memory.
Soaring cliffs, crashing ocean, deep caves hollowed into the cliff face, magnificent rock formations, plenty of bird life - including albatros, white bellied sea eagles, mutton birds; and lazy seals enjoying the sunshine.
An awesome, memorable and exhilarating day. Thoroughly recommend this journey.
Thanks to the Pennicott Team.

I had a lovely time on the Tasman Island cruise day tour, including a 3 hour boat trip along the coast, and some quick afternoon sightseeing at the lavendar farm, chocolate shop, and Remarkable Cave.
We had nice calm conditions on the boat trip, and were lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins, some sea lions and albatrosses. The capes, sea caves and rugged coastline were all incredibly beautiful! I enjoyed tasting the chocolate and lavender sweets (I recommend lavender nougat!). Remarkable Cave was very interesting, it was pleasant to stand on the viewing platform and watch the waves come in.
Thanks very much to the boat crew, and to our friendly driver Marnie - your commentary on the history of roadworks was definitely the highlight, don't tell the dolphins ;)
I had a great time, we packed a lot of sightseeing into the day. Good value, and I'd be happy to take another day trip like this one.

The boat trip was great, seen Whales, dolphins. Two tour guides were amazing. The Zoo was a huge disappointment and Lunch. Was way overpriced for the trip.

This was amazing from the drive out through the country side our tour guide shared many different aspect and highlights, to the sea adventure of the coast line which was truly spectacular, the boat crew were knowledgable and great hosts, we got wet and saw so much rugged coastline that many would never see. The options for lunch and a visit to the chocolate factory, then back to nature to the Remarkable caves and beaches before picking up those that chose to walk through Port Arthur - great options, great guides and an overall fantastic day. Thankyou

So happy I booked this tour. I had my teenage son he and I both loved the high speed boat trip. So much fun. Port Arthur was just amazing too.
