The cruise and seeing all the wildlife was truly an unforgettable experience. I thought first it was a little pricey but honestly worth every cent!!
Thanks Dan and the Team at Pennicott.
We saw amazing caves and seals and the best was Dolphins swimming next to our boats. The ocean waves at times gave us some goosebumps but it’s worth.
JUST GO FOR IT.

Our morning tea and lunch was also yum, again friendly staff. Would absolutely recommend Pennicott Wilderness it is a must do.




Good commentary from Jordy our driver on the way.
Be prepared for cold/wet weather!
Good food offerings on site (if a little pricy).


We were then taken to Port Arthur by Pinnicott’s tour guide Jordy. Whilst we did not have a tour with Jordy at Port Arthur, his knowledge and love for Tassie was still evident as he made the trip down very enjoyable with his commentary.
Whilst we only did 2 trips with Pennicott, both Zoe and Jordie made the experiences very enjoyable. We will definitely be booking another tour with them when we return to Tassie and couldn’t recommend them highly enough.





The only complaint I had was with one of our servers during the lunch provided, who was quite rude to me, but I will be writing Pennicott directly about that.


An endless tour of surprises, wine, non alcoholic drinks, food & seafood, sights and fun. Easy going, all encompassing & the VERY BEST experience of our 19 day stay in Tasmania.
We saw the salmon farm, seals, oysters, fresh & cooked in champagne, some of the seafood dived for from the boat, then prepared, cooked, displayed-rock lobster, abalone, sushi mi, urchins. Tasmanian platter of food. I tried most things, but preferred the cooked seafood delights. The beach & swim were fantastic. Take your bathers - or not!!!!! Thanks to the group we were with - they made the whole thing even better.
You will be well catered for & have lasting memories, as we do.
We did have to cancel one of the 3 tickets we had pre purchased - zero issues getting a refund, as per their policy. GO ON - JUST DO IT.

I had booked two tours with Pennicott, however I became ill, on the morning of one of the trips and could not attend. A refund was posted within days.
Also for the wineglass bay trip we were notified the day before that we may not be able to go into certain areas because of the weather and gave us the option of rescheduling if we wanted to.





We are a group of seniors, and we’re quite comfortable. Everybody was given spray jackets which looked more like gowns. But they kept you well protected. The crew was good and made sure everyone was secure and comfortable.
The Port Arthur portion was interesting, but aside from the significant history rather boring. Fortunately, we did not spend a lot of time there. Lunch was provided at Port Arthur and during the morning we had tea before starting the boat portion.
I highly recommend this tour.




I highly recommend to join their boat trip.
So impressed with Pennicott Wilderness Journeys. The Wineglass Bay cruise from Coles Bay was fantastic, such an enjoyable trip seeing the most incredible scenery.
The second a Tasman Island boat trip from Port Arthur was amazing ,the most magnificent scenery ,seeing lots of dolphins ???? and seals ????.
Both trips were very informative of the local landscape and history of the area.
Staff on both trips were excellent, so friendly,helpful and entertaining.
All highly experienced and knowledgeable.
These boat trips are the absolute highlight of our Tasmanian holiday
Highly recommended and excellent value .
⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
After a big lunch at Port Arthur, walked the grounds. Didn't feel rushed at all. Had time to read history here and there. You can even go inside a convict prison cell and see artifacts up close.
Highly recommended!!!!

A special mention must go to our driver Allen, who was an encyclopedia of knowledge and looked after all of us in an incredible way.
Also, kudos to Pennicott Wilderness for setting a standard in caring about their guests and looking after the ecology of Tasmania.


*we are local!






Port Arthur Lavender Farm was beautiful for lunch. The afternoon was spent at Unzoo Devils Sanctuary. Very pleasant way to spend that time.

I did the tour from Hobart with the Tasman Peninsula Cruise & Entry to Port Arthur Historic Site.
Alan who drove us in from Hobart was awesome, full of knowledge of all the areas and towns along the way! I’m currently visiting TAS from QLD and he gave me a load of places to visit just from his commentary. Thank you!
The cruise itself was absolutely incredible and photos just don’t do it justice, the landscape is gorgeous! Added bonus we saw seals!
Everything in this tour is well thought out, seas sickness pills for those who forgot and hand warmers for the way back, If I could rate this company 10 stars I would!
I hope to do another Pennicott journey when I visit TAS next
If you do the full day trip like we did, I would suggest eating your lunch (and they give you so much of it!) fairly quickly to maximise your time at the historic site - it is a lot bigger than we thought it was!




Highly recommend!
Advice to those going on this tour: Be on time for everything including returning to the bus! We had multiple people ignore the schedule which meant we only had under minimal time at some locations.
Please don’t be selfish and consider others. Also, if you get seasick, take a travel pill prior to the boat ride as can be bumpy (but fun!)



Will be back to try the other cruises

Spectacular scenery and an all-round, great experience out on the water, up against the coastline, and even inside the odd cave.


The blueberry muffin was delicious.
I will be recommending this company to others.



We booked online drove to the office near Port Arthur and the staff were very helpful and happy. The whole process went very smoothly.
Tour started at 10 am and we spent 2.5 hrs on the water, with very little swell and plenty of sunshine.
Pennicott is a well run organisation and we had a great tour.
