It's a lot of fun, but it's only 2.5 hours instead of 3 hours. The captain will take you to see dolphins and seals, but the spots where the boat stops seem to vary from boat to boat? We didn't see some of the things we saw in other people's posts on social media. The guide pays great attention to safety and checks the seatbelts every time everyone sits down again. Also, it was very windy the day we went, but it didn't feel very shaky and we didn't get seasick. The captain even gave us a taste of surfing, which was so much fun.

Must have package. I strongly recommend this package including a cruise, watching and feeding Devil and birds. It was great experience and not rush at all, but you can see almost about Hobart.

Amazing! We saw sea lions and dolphins as expected, and the magnificent scenery of the rocky cliffs was unforgettable.

Fuel our guide (not sure if I’m spelling his name correctly) was superb) even remembered my name (most people don’t) very friendly and patient with me (since i wanted to buy fridge magnets everywhere we went) and the two guides on the boat were super funny and very informative with regards to all the attractions we saw. managed to see alot of dolphins and Seals. Totally recommend going to the unzoo aswell to see the tasmanian devils and feed the kangaroos and the birds might even catch a walabee if you’re lucky. SUCH A GOOD TOUR THAT WAS. loved every bit of it. and had a good nap on the way back casue FUAL is an absolute smooth rider brought all of us safely back to the deck.

Enjoying breakfast in the lavender garden was very pleasant. The 3-hour yacht tour encountered many dolphins and also saw albatrosses, so wonderful!

The price-to-performance ratio is very high. You can see various marine animals and the wonders of nature. Experience sailing on the sea. The weather is changeable, so it is recommended to prepare warm clothing.

Very good day tour. Every aspect of the tour is very well planned and smooth. Stress-free tour...just enjoying. I found it a bit expensive but I think it's worth the money spent. Very informative guides.
