Had a really good time,...

Had a really good time, spotted some really nice baby seals! Although it was rainy and weather wasn’t great, they made it all work and took good care of all of us

An excursion well worth doing
534nickyv, July 2026
Unfortunately, we had rain, rain and more rain, but the cruise and the tour of Port Arthur is well worth doing. We enjoyed it even in the rain. The bus ride was educational and the stop at Port Arthur Lavender for scones and tea/coffee was very nice and you can tell they have it running like a well oiled machine. The stop was not open to the public yet, but they had it all set up for us, and the scones were being brought out, hot from the oven as we entered. Then we were taken for our cruise, where we were given rain suits. The boat ride was great, would have been even better if it hadn’t been for the rain, truly spectacular scenery.

Thank you for your wonderful review! While we would have loved to turn on the sunshine for you, we're delighted you still enjoyed your Tasman Island Cruise and visit to the Port Arthur Historic Site. It's lovely to hear you appreciated the warm scones at Port Arthur Lavender and our well-organised day. Even in the rain, Tasmania's rugged coastline is spectacular. We hope to welcome you back on a sunnier day for another adventure!
Cheers

This is my first tour in...
Althea_M, May 2026
This is my first tour in Hobart and I can say, it is incredible. Of course, as a solo traveller, safety is a must and so far they always make sure all of us are taken care of. The guide give us a lot of time to enjoy every stop , especially the port arthur tour. Very friendly staff as well and theres nothing more I could ask for. I highly recommend this tour.

Stunning views!
LAURA_G, May 2026
The rugged shoreline of Port Arthur is absolutely stunning! The entire staff was friendly and professional, from the receptionist at check-in to the driver to the boat captain - all superb. The travel van was clean and comfortable and our boat driver passed by the cliffs from both directions and circled around so that everyone in the boat could get a fantastic views. My only recommendation would be to have a Guide at the Port Arthur Penitentiary to give us a live guided tour.

Thank you for your wonderful review, Laura! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed both the Tasman Peninsula cruise and your visit to the Port Arthur Historic Site.
The rugged coastline around Port Arthur is truly spectacular, and we’re pleased you were able to experience it from the water. It’s also fantastic to hear our team made such a positive impression, from check-in through to the cruise itself.
Thank you for your feedback regarding guided tours at the Port Arthur Historic Site. Our day tour includes ample free time for guests to explore the site at their own pace, including the harbour cruise and interpretation available at the historic site. We appreciate your suggestion and will certainly take it on board.
Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for another Tasmanian adventure in the future.
Cheers
