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 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🙂

  • 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.
