Skim past towering sea cliffs, sea caves, and colonies of seabirds and seals aboard a high-speed Zodiac on one of the world's great wildlife cruises. Bruny Island's wild southern coastline is as raw and remote as anywhere on Earth.
What to expect
Board a purpose-built adventure vessel from Bruny Island's Adventure Bay and spend three hours threading through sea caves, beneath 300-metre dolerite cliffs, and around colonies of Australian fur seals and little penguins. Your guide narrates the ecology, geology, and Aboriginal history with genuine authority. Spot white-bellied sea eagles wheeling overhead and dolphins surfing the bow wake. The pace is exhilarating but the stops are generous — cameras out for every dramatic formation.
Good to know
Bruny Island is a 35-minute drive from Hobart then a short ferry crossing — allow 30 minutes each way for transfers. The cruise itself runs approximately 3 hours. Pre-book well in advance as this tour sells out quickly. Confirm your all-aboard time and build in buffer for the ferry; departures are timed for morning sailings.
