The shuttle picked us up on time and the boat adventure was wonderful - exciting, beautiful, and fun. I was also very grateful to our driver for being so accommodating. The highlight of my trip was to get to feed and pet the roos!

This was an excellent and very enjoyable tour! Everyone, from the lady's in the office, to Phil our Driver, were amazing. If you want an exciting way to see Tasmanias beautiful aqua life, then the cruise is the best way to do it and to get dropped off at the foot of Port Arthur was a even better. And what a way to end a day with a tour of the historical site, which is beautiful in its own right. Would highly highly recommend!

From start to finish the tour was amazing, I was left speechless when I saw the sea stacks, and ending with the dolphins was the best. Highly recommended!
