Bruny Island Wilderness Cruise

Drive yourself to Adventure Bay and join our 3-Hour Wilderness Cruise.

Cruise alongside some of Australia's highest sea cliffs, beneath towering crags, and drift up close to listen to the awesome 'Breathing Rock'. Enter deep-sea caves, pass through the narrow gap between the coast and 'The Monument', and feel the power of nature at the point where the Tasman Sea meets the might of the Southern Ocean.

Join in the search for abundant coastal wildlife such as seals, dolphins, migrating whales, and sea birds. The highly trained interpretive guides love what they do - they work hard to ensure that the experience is fun, enjoyable, entertaining, and informative.

The custom-built yellow boats are ideal for viewing the spectacular coastline and wildlife of Bruny Island. Each vessel holds a maximum of 43 guests. Covered open-air tiered seating means an excellent all-around view and connection with the environment. The boats are safe, comfortable, and gentle in the environment due to their fuel efficiency, low emission, and quiet operation.

Keep a close lookout for sea eagles soaring above the cliffs, pods of dolphins surfing the bow wave, albatross wheeling on the wind, and shearwaters skimming the swells. At the Friars, you'll drift quietly past rare nesting seabirds and a large haul-out home to thousands of seals.
