Felicia Xaveria – Australia

We basically saw everything, the humpback whales, dolphins, seals, white wallabies, birds and tuna (couldn't see the tuna but I trust the captains words). A very great team who are passionate about what they do. Lunch was also delicious, nothing was amiss in our trip. I took my elderly parents (+60yo) and they did fine. I'd like to go and spot a penguin next time!

Full description

Choose to begin your tour on Bruny Island or from Hobart. Cruise by some of Australia's highest sea cliffs and drift up close to listen to the awesome Breathing Rock.
Enter deep-sea caves, pass through the narrow gap between the coast and The Monument, and feel the power of nature where the Tasman Sea meets the might of the Southern Ocean.
On this activity, search for wildlife such as seals, dolphins, migrating whales, and sea birds with an interpretive guide. At the Friars, drift quietly past rare nesting seabirds and a large haul-out home to thousands of seals.
The custom-built yellow boats feature open-air tiered seating providing excellent all-round views. When the cruise finishes, disembark and have time to explore Bruny Island. After, enjoy a guided bus tour as you return to Hobart (if option selected).

Includes

  • Wilderness cruise
  • Wet weather jacket
  • Return guided bus tour from Hobart (if option selected)
  • Ferry crossings and Hobart hotel drop-off (if option selected)
  • Pick-up and drop off
  • Food and drinks
