Tasman peninsula cruise
This was epic. Jo, our captain and her offsides ( I can’t remember her name😩) were sensational. So full of knowledge and when asked questions they knew the answer right off the bat. This was a gift to my hubby for his 60th. So glad I got to share it with him. He was in awe. It’s any wonder Pennicotts wins so many awards. We’ve done the bruny island one years ago and that too was fantastic. We will be back . Thank you
A fun day out
A really fun day. Got to see some amazing coastline and wildlife including seals, dolphins and birds. The boat operators were skilful, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The Port Arthur tour and site were very interesting. The only thing that could be improved is the organisation. The description on the website made us think we were going on a cruise (this is more of a powerboat adventure ride!), there were no instructions on where to meet, or any idea of the logistics for the day. Nearly half the day is spent on a bus; you only get 3 hours on the boat. There was also only one toilet at the cafe (morning tea) and the adventure office, for hundreds of people on various tours. Overall a good day. Bring warm clothing!
What you can expect
An adventure awaits you on this 3 hour Tasman Island Nature Cruise. Travel to the base of the Southern Hemisphere’s tallest vertical sea cliffs at Cape Pillar, explore deep-sea caves and admire waterfalls, rocks formations and archways along the coastline of the Tasman National Park. This cruise off the coast of Tasmania also presents a unique opportunity to see wildlife in their natural habitat including hundreds of seals, pods of dolphins and migrating whales. The sea birds are lively year-round, and passengers are likely to see a frenzy of feeding gannets, flying albatross and sea eagles, as well as cormorants nesting in the cliffs.
Custom designed boats provide spectacular viewing opportunities with covered open-air tiered seating. The size of these vessels mean close encounters with wildlife are possible and guests will feel close to the natural environment around them. Each environmentally friendly boat holds up to 43 guests and boasts safety, low emissions and fuel efficiency.
This experience is part of our Low Footprint Adventures range because it’s ECO certified by Ecotourism Australia.

Review for Tasman Eco Cruise and Port Arthur Historic Site
My 60th birthday @ Tasman Island Day Trip
Everything works so well; from the information center, transportation going to the cruise, morning tea, lunch time, and especially my appreciation to our kind good tour guide/ bus driver Bill that this experience which happens during my 60th birthday was so meaningful because of him. My big salute to Bill.
