Description
The cruise travels beneath the highest vertical sea cliffs in the Southern Hemisphere at Cape Pillar. Guests explore waterfalls, rock formations, archways and deep-sea caves.
The coastline is part of the Tasman National Park. It is home to a variety of wildlife including hundreds of seals, migrating whales and abundant sea birds in their thousands.
At any time of year you're likely to see the feeding frenzy of diving gannets, albatross and sea eagles wheeling on the wind, cliff-nesting cormorants and peregrine falcons, or a pod of playful dolphins surfing the bow wave of the boat.
The custom built yellow boats are ideal for viewing the spectacular coastline and wildlife of the Tasman Peninsula. Each vessel holds a maximum of 43 guests. Covered open-air tiered seating means an excellent all-round view and connection with the environment. The boats have been created for these journeys and they are gentle on the environment due to their fuel efficiency and low emission operation.

Good experience, with one thing worth knowing beforehand. The meeting point was well signed and easy to find. Nice touch with transportation from meeting point. The wifi they advertised did not work. Sort those details and it is a ten.

Would do it again
Best day of our stay in Hobart. The whole thing was handled over WhatsApp, very practical. They dropped us at Hour Wilderness Cruise with no detours. Five well earned stars.

De lo mejor que hicimos en el viaje. La reserva fue simple y llegó la confirmación al toque. El guía se acordaba del nombre de todos, un detalle que se agradece. Muy bueno que incluyera traslado desde punto de encuentro. Totalmente recomendado.

Se pasó volando y nos quedamos con ganas de más. El guía hizo la diferencia, se le notaba que le gusta lo que hace. El detalle del traslado desde punto de encuentro sumó mucho. El salón de Hobart Honolulu es una joya en sí mismo. Si volvemos a Hobart, lo repetimos.

Muy recomendable, sin vueltas. No esperaba que incluyera guía profesional en inglés, un plus. Ideal para tener un panorama general y después volver a lo que más te gustó. Sin dudas una de las mejores experiencias del viaje.

Um prazer
Nada a reclamar, tudo saiu como estava descrito. O ritmo era confortável, nem corrido nem chato. O preço é honesto pelo que se recebe. Avisaram de uma mudança de horário com bastante antecedência. Não esperava que incluísse guia turístico em inglês, um plus. Obrigado pelo dia que nos proporcionaram.
