There is a dedicated cruise of Tasman island from port Arthur. I just did this on 20th March 2020 and it’s one of the best cruise. Duration is 3 hours. Boat is comfortable. Staff is friendly. From their office in port Arthur, bus will take you to departure point. It’s short 5 mins drive. They will provide u wet suit. Don’t forget cameras. You will see highest cliffs, wildlife, caves. You can see one of my video of this cruise here. I would say don’t miss it. Go to my YouTube channel Traveling buddies and see video Tasman island cruise.

We did the morning cruise and ate afterwards. You will be in an open speed boat. i wouldn't take food with me,

Hi Nadine apologies for the delay to your enquiry. We take lots of young families on the trip. Please note that safety is paramount to us and our boats have been custom made to operate in ocean conditions. We do recommend you check the weather with us prior and discuss your needs but we are very flexible, so if you think the conditions do not suit you on the day, we can reschedule or provide a refund. Please do not hesitate to email us via our website if you have any queries. Cheers Melinda

For all day tours you can be picked up at Constitution dock Hobart, however you need to check in by 7 am ao best to keave for following day if possible. 1.5 hr drive to Port Arthur. Other option is to organise own transoort and get afternoon cruise

I get extremely sea sick but took Kwells before I went and was fine, even on a rough day. There is a new helicopter charter service here operated by Osbourne Air if you want and alternative.

Tasman. both are good, Tasman is miss striking.

The Tasman cruise in the morning is the best. Make sure that the seas are calm as if it is rough with high seas they change the route.

Just sharing with you what I asked Pennicott when I was deciding between the 2 cruises, Hi, Thank you for your enquiry. The main difference between the cruises is their location. The Bruny Island Cruise travels along the South Bruny National Park from Adventure Bay and the Tasman Island Cruise follows the coastline of the Tasman National Park between Port Arthur and Eaglehawk Neck. Both cruises are structured in a similar way, they use the same type of boats and are priced the same. On both tours you will see some of Australia’s highest sea cliffs while exploring deep sea caves and coastal features. Our skippers will also give commentary on the History, Geology and Wildlife throughout the journey. Both cruises also have regular encounters with amazing wildlife including seabirds, seals, dolphins and during annual migration periods will also offer the opportunity to see whales! If you are trying to decide between the two we suggest going with the one that fits in best with your travel plans. If you plan to visit the Port Arthur Historic Site, or Tasmanian Devil Conservation Park whilst in Tasmania then the Tasman Island Cruise would be a good choice as these attractions can be included as a part of your day. If you would like to see Bruny Island which offers a lot of fantastic food producers then the Bruny Island Cruise is a must. Of course if your time and budget allows you could always do both! We recommend pre bookings to guarantee your place. Bookings dates are fully flexible and you are welcome to contact us directly to change the tour date at any time, subject to availability. We do not charge cancellation fees as long as we are notified prior to the day of travel. If you have any further questions or would like to go ahead and make a booking, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you. Kind Regards, Leah Tasman Island Cruises
