it is a cool trip. See the beautiful view but a little cold because the wind is very big on ocean. 😆
Thank you for your review, Rui! We're delighted you enjoyed the spectacular scenery on your Tasman Island Cruise. You're certainly right—it can be much colder on the water than on land, so warm layers make all the difference. Thank you for travelling with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon! Cheers Melinda
Dress warmly in winter. We were lucky to have great weather and even luckier to spot lots of wildlife!!! Peninsula views were amazing and felt very privileged to see seals, birds, dolphins and whales. Tour guides were engaging and easy-going. Time went quickly, too.

Only by joining a sea cruise can you get up close to the spectacular rock formations—an absolutely worthwhile experience.

We had such an amazing trip out on the Tasman, saw many seals, albatrosses feeding, learned a lot of history
Thank you for your wonderful review, Leanne! We’re delighted to hear you had such an amazing trip on the Tasman Peninsula.

It’s also great to hear you enjoyed learning about the rich history of this remarkable coastline along the way. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future. Cheers Melinda
Phenomenal experience; informative but not overwhelming, exciting way to see the beautiful landscapes, and we were lucky to see lots of wildlife too (dolphins and seals). Lily and Josh were fabulous boat crew from 24/4/26. In all the whole team was very accommodating for my 92yo grandfather; a young male (originally from VIC) even helped drive him down to the boats early. Then Lily, Josh from our boat and ?Sean from the other boat were so lovely, and even kind enough to spend time chatting to my Grandfather about boats, fishing and motorbikes. We really appreciate it!
Thank you for your brilliant review! We’re so pleased you had such a phenomenal experience and enjoyed the balance of information, scenery and wildlife—it sounds like a very special day out. It’s wonderful to hear how well the team looked after your grandfather. We take a lot of pride in making our experiences accessible and welcoming for everyone, and your kind words about Lily, Josh and the wider crew will mean a lot to them. We really appreciate you travelling with us and hope to welcome you and your family back again soon. Cheers Melinda
