We saw amazing wildlife on our trip: a massive pod of common dolphins as well as fur seals and a beautiful white breasted owl perched in a tree. The weather was amazing and the staff were friendly, professional and knowledgeable.

Linda_H, Mar 2024
From being picked up in the city to being dropped off at home, the whole day was a fabulous experience. The weather was beautiful and the water, whilst a bit lumpy at times, was great fun. The island is full of history and the wombats a delight. Maria Island is a must see destination. Thanks to the staff who were all an amazing.
Rough experience
joannemcauley43, Mar 2024
Remember the weather can totally affect your experience on an open speed boat. Several passengers were very sick with the scary waves and wind. The cliffs were stunning but I was really happy when the trip was over! The captain was really trying to make the best of a rough sailing day. I would ask about the weather conditions and only do this tour if you don’t get sea sick.
Tasman Peninsula at its best
Bruce_W, Feb 2024
Spectacular day, scenery breath taking, David and Lily were very proactive in sourcing wild life sightings. Probably our highlight thus far
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Dear Bruce We are so glad to hear that your Tasman Island Cruises experience was a highlight. Cheers Melinda
Great experience!
Martin_D, Feb 2024
The views of the landscape and wildlife were exceptional! Dolphins, Australian and New Zealand fur seals (and babies) were all a plus to the strikingly beautiful scenery. The cliffs, the Tasman arch, the Totem pole and the Candlestick were amazing. A little more recent rain would have made Waterfall bay more exciting, but it was beautiful nonetheless and you can’t make it rain! The commentary throughout was excellent as well.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
HI Martin Thanks so much for your fabulous feedback. Cheers Melinda

Friendly, helpful, grateful staff! Such a wonderful experience….dolphins swimming with us, 2 types of seals, incredible cliffs (with explanations) , caves ….. our 15 son didn’t lose his smile the whole time! Should have taken the ginger sea-sick preventer tablet though… was feeling a wee bit ‘ookie’ by the end of the trip!
