Explore the wild coastline of Bruny Island on a 3-hour wilderness cruise from Adventure Bay. This award-winning cruise follows Southern Tasmania's rugged coast, travelling alongside towering cliffs and past the Breathing Rock for an up-close look at some of the island's most dramatic scenery. Along the way, watch for the region's diverse wildlife, from seals and dolphins to sea eagles, sea birds and migrating whales. The custom-made yellow boats are built for observation, and from the comfortable covered open-air seating you can feel a true connection with the nature around you. The cruise starts and ends at the operator's booking centre at Adventure Bay on Bruny Island. Transport is not included: most visitors drive from Hobart to the Kettering ferry terminal, cross to the island on the vehicle ferry and continue south to Adventure Bay, which makes this cruise an easy highlight of a self-drive day on Bruny Island. Bring some warm clothing, as it can get chilly out on the water.
