Fantastic, very professionally run tour. Boat very clean and organised. Micheal is an excellent operator and boat driver. Very informative commentary and knows all the great spots to slow down for the passages to enjoy and take heaps of wonderful photos. The lunch which you purchase separately is really delicious. All sorts of drinks are on offer , with a scrumptious morning tea. A guided walk, or walk on your own on Maria Island is also included. Highly recommend this tour with Spirit of Maria crew. Thanks for a wonderful day. !
It’s beautiful trip!!! The weather was good so we could go to lle Des Phoques. It was amazing! Really impressive. The tour guides are really friendly. Highly recommend.
Great cruise where we got to see some dolphins and lots of fur seals. The cliff faces of Maria Island are unique and are of interest to geologiests. We had lunch on board the boat, and then were taken for a walk around the little historic village of Darlington. We were able to hear some of the history of Maria Island during the convict days. The boat crew were friendly and helpful, and it was an enjoyable day.
This was one of the best tours I’ve ever done. We were picked up from our hotels in Hobart and driven down to Triabunna where we hopped onto a ferry to circumnavigate Maria Island. The scenery was spectacular and quite varied. We then had a few hours on Maria Island before being taken back to Triabunna and then Hobart. The crew of East Coast Tours were amazing. If you do nothing else while in Tassie, do this one!
Overall trip was lovely . Lots to see and staff was super nice . The ride to harbor was also lovely and pick up at hotel was so convenient
Nice group of people, helpful and knowledgeable information throughout ; overall a nice experience (good local Pinot Noir wine...with lunch).
This day was splendid!! Loved the seals and dolphins playing along our boat. Mike was very full of history and information. Lunch was a treat!
Enjoyed every minute. Mike and Thalia were very knowledgable and friendly. Lovely refreshments and tasty lunch. You see so much more than a ferry trip to Maria. We have already been thinking about coming back again.
Highly recommend this tour. Michael and Jaz our tour guides were extremely professional and full of local knowledge. The scenerey was spectacular. We saw dolphins and seals. The morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea were the best we have had on a cruise.
Don't miss this must see cruise it is great value for money. Many many thanks to Michael and Jaz.
