Tasman Island & Port Arthur Full Day Adventure

This was an amazing trip. Really good value. The support crew both on bus and boat were very good and informative. It was slightly cold near the end of the trip. If you are doing it in winter like we did wear waterproof shoes and warm socks

Great trip. Adventurous cruise around the peninsula. Knowledgeable, fun local guides. Plenty of time at Port Arthur. Coach driver very informative, friendly and accommodating.

A lovely day out! Phil the Tour Guide was super and greatly informative. The Lavender Farm stop had lovely souvenirs, and, delicious scones. The cruise on the Ocean / Sea was spectacular, and, if you like a roller-coaster ride, sit at the front of the vessel..... The Lunch was delish, and, the concept Tour at Port Arthur with Tour Guide Jet was unique and informative and great. Take this Tour! A great and lovely full day Tour.

I incorporated the Tasman Island boat trip with my day visiting Port Arthur Historic Site. Thanks to the many warnings from the staff to layer up I managed to remain pretty cosy beneath all my warm clothing and the poncho provided to protect from the spray. The crew were very professional and made sure we were well looked after. Would highly recommend for the wildlife and also the landscape.

In my 2 days in Hobart, I was fortunate enough to take 2 tours with Pennicott Wilderness Journeys and I was not disappointed. First up, I would like to say that across all of the guides I met during this time, each of them were passionate about their jobs and about Tasmania. I was very impressed by them all, and they were beyond friendly and entertaining. The tours themselves were just as impressive. We did come across some pretty rough weather so our tours had to be altered to suit, however youd be none the wiser with all of the places visited. I would recommend the Tasman Peninsula tour for those who are adrenaline seekers. The 3 hour boat ride can be pretty exhilarating (especially on a rainy/windy day like we had!) and youre almost guaranteed to see seals and possibly a few sea eagles along the way. We were fortunate enough to see both, AND even saw some dolphins and albatross. We also visited the Port Arthur Historical Site on this tour where we had lunch and went on a walking tour about the grounds. It was very informative and all off the staff there are so friendly, again, you can see how passionate they are about the site and telling its story. I learnt a lot of new things and I consider that a success! Both of these tours started in Hobart city so there was a fair bit of driving through small coastal towns and some beautiful countryside, dont worry about this though as the guides are full of knowledge about the island and they love questions, and of course will offer up information through their microphones along the drive. Bruny Island is such a naturally beautiful place and one Id like to visit again, even though the weather was pretty unforgiving we definitely made the most of our day there. And the one bonus about all the rain weve encountered is that without a little rain you cant find a rainbow, and we found so many rainbows! We visited some local producers of Fudge, Honey and Whisky, and tasted some local fresh oysters and fish and chips, it was such an experience, a rather delicious one. We were even lucky enough to see 3 White Wallabys! Theres said to only be about 300 on the island. Another credit to the guides is that they are extremely accommodating at the end of the tour, even being able to drop you off at a more suitable location for you and your onwards travels, both guides did this for us and it really helped us out. 10/10 for everything, I would tour with this company again and again, and hope they continue to thrive in the Tasmanian tourism industry.
