Tasman Peninsula, Spectacular Coastline, Wildlife Sightseeing

At any time of year, you're likely to see the feeding frenzy of diving gannets, albatross and sea eagles wheeling on the wind, cliff-nesting cormorants and peregrine falcons, or a pod of playful dolphins surfing the bow-wave of the boat. The custom-built, yellow boats are ideal for viewing the spectacular coastline and wildlife of the Tasman Peninsula. Each vessel is covered with open-air tiered seating for an excellent all-round view and connection with the environment.
