This was a fantastic day out on the water. The weather was miserable but we had a fantastic time. The skipper and hostess were very welcoming and accommodating. The great food really hit the spot on a gloomy day. We would recommend this tour to anyone adventurous at heart.

Highlight of my Tassie holiday: saw seals, dolphins swimming by our boat, amazing rock formations, lots of wombats, kangaroo, geese. Very professional, great lunch and morning tea catering for food allergies. Supplied warm clothes if you got cold… can’t recommend it more highly just do it!

Exceptionally good day out. Great guides and very interesting yet flexible outing. E.g. we saw sea birds including Albatros feeding on bait fish so Michael took the boat out to see this more closely - dolphins, seabirds and Albatros - doesn't come much better than this.
