My friend and I booked the Tasman Island Cruises Full Day Tour today and had an amazing experience. The views from the cruise were absolutely stunning, and we were lucky enough to see lots of seals. All the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. A special thank you to our driver and guides, Andy and Henry. They were professional, knowledgeable, and even took us to a beautiful lookout during the sightseeing part of our full-day journey. We also received some great travel suggestions for the rest of our trip. All in all, we highly recommend this tour!

I had the best time on the Tasman Island Cruise Full Day Tour. Every part of the day was exceptional - the staff at the front desk were welcoming. Our tour guide and driver for the day, Kieran was knowledgeable, approachable and friendly - loved all the facts on our drive to the Tasman Peninsula. The cruise was incredible - again the staff Hamish and Liam were welcoming, knowledgeable and their passion showed. Morning tea, lunch and the sightseeing options were great. Highly recommend!!!!
About
This full-day Tasman Peninsula tour combines coastal sightseeing, local food and a three-hour wilderness cruise into one 10-hour experience from Hobart. Travel by coach through the region, enjoy morning tea and lunch, and cruise along the edge of Tasman National Park to see towering sea cliffs, ocean caves, dramatic rock formations and native marine life.
Coastal Wilderness & Tasman Peninsula Sightseeing
Your day starts in Hobart, where you’ll set off by coach towards the Tasman Peninsula. Along the way, your local guide will share stories about the region, its landscape and its history. Once you arrive, there’s time to enjoy a morning tea before heading out on the water.
The three-hour wilderness cruise takes you between Eaglehawk Neck and Port Arthur aboard a purpose-built open-air vessel. With tiered, forward-facing seats and an overhead canopy, you’ll have clear views of the coastline as you cruise beneath towering sea cliffs and past sea stacks, blowholes and ocean caves. Keep watch for fur seals, dolphins and seabirds along the way, and, if you’re visiting during whale season, you may even spot migrating whales.
Back on land, sit down to a relaxed local lunch before continuing your tour of the peninsula. You’ll visit some of the region’s standout sights, including the natural arch at Remarkable Cave, the Federation Chocolate Factory and the Port Arthur Lavender Farm, before making your way back to Hobart.
Who Is This Cruise Best Suited For
This full-day tour is ideal for nature lovers, first-time visitors to Tasmania, photography enthusiasts, and families seeking an active, well-rounded day of regional exploration. With all transport, guided commentary, cruising, and meals arranged, it offers a effortless way to experience the wild beauty of the Tasman Peninsula in a single day.
