    The boat experience was great! We loved experiencing the power of the Southern Ocean, even on a calm day. It was fun seeing dolphins and seals and the geology of the Dolomites cliffs was fascinating. The guides were knowledgeable and entertaining🙂

    The amazing crew. All so friendly and funny. Liam was our excellent bus driver & very know. The eco boat cruise was just wonderful. We saw so much wildlife- a big pod of dolphins, thousands of Shearwaters skimming the sea around us, the seals. & a white breasted sea eagle. The scenery of the rock stacks and caves were all so spectacular. Well organised morning tea & lunch at Adventure Bay headquarters. Friendly staff. Best day ever.

    The boat ride was excellent, with very knowledgeable guides providing information as we travelled around the Bruny Island coast. The fish and chip lunch was great. Thank you
  • Cruising Bruny Island’s wild coast

    Set sail on a 3-hour wilderness cruise around Bruny Island, where towering cliffs rise dramatically from the Southern Ocean, and sea caves and rocky outcrops carve the coastline. Dolphins leap from the waves, while seals rest on sun-drenched rocks. Watch for seabirds and migrating whales, all framed by breathtaking views of landmarks like Fluted Cape and the majestic Breathing Rock blowhole. This is a front-row seat to Bruny’s rugged and untouched beauty.

    In Adventure Bay, enjoy a freshly prepared lunch featuring local Tasmanian seafood—crisp fish and chips or comforting pumpkin soup paired with gourmet salad rolls. This scenic meal offers the perfect opportunity to relax before continuing your journey through Bruny's pristine beaches and wildlife-filled reserves. After lunch, your adventure continues with a bus tour of Bruny Island’s most iconic spots. Stop at The Neck Lookout for panoramic views of the island’s landscapes, including turquoise seas meeting lush greenery. Keep an eye out for the elusive white wallaby along the way.
