Smooth cancellation process

Published on Feb, 2025

Because the weather was windy and cold, we were given the option to go, reschedule or cancel. We decided to cancel and got a full refund. If we'd had time we would have rescheduled, but the process was smooth and no dramas. Thanks guys, we'll rebook next time we're in Tassie.

Four seasons in one day!

Published on Feb, 2025

With a poor weather forecast on the day of our trip, we were unsure what would happen. With huge thanks to the Skipper, Michael, who modified the itinerary - reading the wind and the swell - and we got to see 80% of this magical island. Morning tea and lunch were delicious and served in 2 beautiful sheltered spots. Hugh gave us a great insight into Maria Island on the guided walk of the settlement, and we did spot a few wombats hiding from the imminent storm. Back on the boat for our exhilarating return to the Mainland as the thunder and lightning hit. Again, this is a huge thank you to Michael for his professionalism, his great communication, his expertise and a wonderful day trip. Offering the free transfer from and to Hobart was an great addition and thank you to Olivia for the safe journey and for holding the umbrellas as we came off the bus! Definitely recommend you add Maria Island to your Tassie holiday.

Fantastic tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Great cruise with Steve and Tanisha. The boat was full but we were looked after very well and the weather was near perfect. The cake with morning coffee was delicious and the salads for lunch were amazing. The sights as we circumnavigated the island were fantastic.

Excellent day out!

Published on Jan, 2025

Michael and Hugh were fantastic, Michael warned us about the weather beforehand and gave us the option of a refund if we didn’t feel comfortable, but we wanted to go. They offered seasickness tablet ginger tea and ginger soda to myself and others feeling a bit ill. We got so lucky and saw dolphins, albatross, and seals on the water. Lunch and snacks were provided, and Hugh was so knowledgeable on the guided walk of Maria Island, we got lucky to see wombats too! It was a brilliant experience, highly recommend if you are in the area. Thanks, Tim and Amy

Wonderful day out

Published on Jan, 2025

The Maria Island Cruise was the absolute highlight of our recent trip to Tasmania. The team of Rachel and Steve were absolutely superb and showed a real passion for their job. Steve's commentary was superb and he steered the boat into many interesting locations and took his time to make sure everyone got a great view. There certainly was enough sights to keep everyone interested. Rachel was superb in her dedication to her job. this included checking on the passengers when the seas got a little rough, dealing with sympathy with those who got seasick and then providing an interesting commentary as she guided the group on Maria Island. The trip included a lovely morning tea and a superb lunch as well as drinks as requested. Overall, a wonderful day out and this trip is highly recommended-book it.
