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!
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.
What you can expect
Join this award-winning eco cruise and tour the panoramic coastline between Port Arthur and Eaglehawk Neck for an entire day. The purpose-built yellow boats will take you through awe-inspiring deep-sea caves, past spectacular waterfalls and archways, then glide past the base of Australia’s highest sea cliffs and Cape Pillar. Have fun looking out for coastal wildlife like seals, dolphins, migrating whales and a variety of birds. After the blissful nature cruise, you can enjoy a leisurely lunch before continuing on to discover the Port Arthur historic site. You’ll have 3 hours to explore the ruins of this early convict settlement, one of the largest in Australia. Walk through the many lush gardens on the site and visit the iconic ruins of ‘The Hospital’ to relive a bygone era.This experience is part of our Low-Footprint Adventures range because it’s ECO certified by Ecotourism Australia.

Review for Tasman Island Day Trip Cruise with Tasmanian Devil Park - Departs Hobart
MY GREAT ADVENTURE.
I would highly recommend this trip. I am a 70 year old grandmother and I felt it was a great day out. The boat driver was highly skilled and handled the boat very well. He and the other crew member helped me on to the boat as my foot was a bit sore. Our driver took us past spectacular waterfalls and giant archways. He steered up to the giant cliff faces as close as was safe for all of the passengers so we were able to get a close view to video or take photo's. I was able to view seals on the rocks and dolphins swam along side the boat . We were able to view the beautiful and very rugged coast line of Tasmania between Eaglehawk Neck and Port Arthur. The boat ride lasted about 3 hours. We then landed at Port Authur where we were given a good lunch before we took a guided tour or walked around Port Arthur. It was a very long day but a great day.
