I joined their Bruny Island Cruise and it was such an amazing experience. A once-in-a-lifetime. The view was nothing short of spectacular and awe-inspiring. Their service was excellent. The guides were friendly and helpful. The fish and chips served at the restaurant were probably one of the best I’ve ever had - the fish was freshly caught daily and the portion was generous. Overall, highly recommend visiting Bruny Island when you are in Hobart and highly recommend joining the cruise with Pennicott.

About
The 3-Hour Pennicott Bruny Island Wilderness Cruise is an open-air coastal boat tour departing from Adventure Bay, Tasmania. Guests explore the rugged coastline of South Bruny National Park, cruising beneath towering sea cliffs, navigating around sea caves, and searching for native marine life with expert local guides.
