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)

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The guides were really friendly and made the tour funny and informative which was great. We got to see some fantastic sights of the coastline and got to see lots of seals in their natural habitat. We sat in the middle of the boat and had great views, we also weren't too affected by any motion sickness. We also ate at the cafe afterwards (both had the smoked ham baguette) and we really enjoyed it. Would recommend this tour

This is a once in a lifetime experience and a must-do activity if you visit Bruny Island. The scenery was spectacular and we saw lots of wildlife, including seals and many types of sea birds. The crew really looked after us and were very attentive to our comforts. The commentary was also very informative. The anti sea-sick tablets we were handed out before our boat trip started was a very practical, as the swell can be quite high and the sea quite rough, especially where the Tasman Sea meets the Great Southern Ocean. Make sure you wear layers of clothes because the wind-chill factor can be 10 degrees Celsius colder than at Adventure Bay. You will be provided with a full length red wind/water-proof jacket which is essential for your comfort but it is recommended you take a woolly hat and gloves as well. The Tim Tam we were given at the end of the trip was a nice touch!

Amazing experience! The day we went out was very windy so sea was quite choppy, which added to the excitement. Some jaw-dropping moments but exhilirating as the crew was so skilled and professional, we never felt at risk. The only way to see this wild part of Bruny Island! Passengers are warned to "rug up" as despite the wet weather gear provided, it was COLD!!!
