Cần Quan Tâm
On the way to Ile Des Phoques you can see albatross, dolphins, Australian fur seals and whales (depending on the time of year) as well as majestic panoramic views of Maria Island and the Freycinet Peninsula. Once at Ile Des Phoques we will sit with the fur seals and learn about their home at Ile Des Phoques, their recovery from near extinction from commercial sealing and how they are now breeding at Ile Des Phoques again for the first time in over 200 years. We will enjoy morning tea, coffee and cakes with the seals and then explore the remarkable giant Rainbow Caves. These caves are the largest granite sea caves in Australia, possibly the World. Feel the emotion and beauty of nature as we venture deep inside the caves onboard the cruise boat.
Maria Island
After your time spent at Ile Des Phoques, we travel to Maria Island for a beautiful lunch with local wine onboard our cruise boat beside a stunning white sandy beach. After lunch we dock at the jetty and spend the afternoon on Maria Island for a guided walk exploring the history of the Darlington convict settlement and time spent with the resident wombats and kangaroos. *Note, if poor weather prevents the cruising to the Ile Des Phoques, the cruise will be changed to circumnavigate Maria Island. Lunch is provided on the tour from our cafe as a large healthy salad bowl. A variety of salad lunch options include; chicken breast in pesto aioli, smoked salmon, roast beef, leg ham or vegetarian/vegan.

5.00We have been travelling in Tasmania for 2 months and our cruise has been our best day. We were very lucky to have perfect weather which allowed us to go into the sea caves which are stunning. The crew were passionate about the area and gave an excellent commentary, including the Darlington tour with Molly. Lunch was a salad which was delicious and quite large. We oud highly recommend this tour.
Wow what an awesome day out!

5.00Tansen and Skipper Steve gave our group an unforgettable, enjoyable and informative day on this tour. Loved it all from beginning to end. Steve skilfully manoeuvred the boat into the colourful caves and close to seals for a close up encounter. Scientist/deckhand Tansen kept us well informed and answered questions while accommodating our every need. The food, scenery, wildlife and boat excursion (we had near perfect weather) was exceptional and exceeded all expectations! Totally recommend this one!
Would definitely do this trip again. '

5.00Was a fantastic day on the boat with Mike and Molly. Considering it was Molly’s first day going solo as a host, it shows the professional manner in which they conduct their business as her training must have been excellent. The whole day was informative, fun and interesting. The wind was up but the boat handled the conditions very well which made for a very comfortable day. I will definitely recommend this day out to anyone and everyone who will listen. After discussions with my partner we would definitely do this trip again when next in Hobart. Thanks team you’ve got a great trip and wish you many more years of showcasing Maria Island.
2nd time on a Boat Tour and both tours are very Good!

5.00Approx 7 years ago my husband and I enjoyed the boat tour. This time we had my parents with us and we wanted to show them the best of Tassie so we booked another Tour of Maria Island. Dad has a wheel chair and can walk assisted with walking sticks, the staff helped my father board the boat & assisted with his wheel chair for the Maria Island 2 hour walk. Both tours are fantastic, beautiful full day of touring, we saw whales, seals, dolphins, eagles and on the island we saw wombats, wallabies & cape baron Geese. Great value, lovely staff, tasty fresh lunch & morning tea.
Worth a Bumpy Ride

5.00The day before the Ile des Phoques tour I received an SMS advising that it would have to be changed to the Maria Island circumnavigation due to high winds. However, on the day, the skipper Mike left it up to us group of 12 to decide whether we wanted to weather the rough seas. We all did, and so we went. The ride was rough, indeed, but it was worth it. When we reached the island, the sea calmed down a bit, the sun came out, we saw a few seals and went into some awesome sea caves with rainbow-coloured walls. After another bumpy ride we anchored in calm waters off Maria Island for a delicious lunch, before having two hours on the island itself. It was a great trip which I would do again without hesitation, especially since it can be done ex Hobart, so that you don't need your own transport.
Fantastic day trip cruise

5.00Wonderful day trip with Mike and Freya. As the weather conditions were favourable we got to see inside some caves as well. Enjoyed Maria Island and getting to see wombats in their habitat. It’s great to be able to experience these wild and beautiful places.
Seal the deal!

5.00In the month of May 2025 my wife and I decided to visit Maria Island and Ile Des Phoques on the East coast of Tasmania. After reviewing the available tours we decided to book a tour with Maria Island Cruises. This turned out to be one of the best ever days we had on our trip to Tasmania. The boat itself had plenty of viewing areas,and room to move around freely to photograph the scenery and wildlife. Michael the tour operator and his crew were amazing. They provided an abundance of delicious food and drinks and were very attentive on the whole trip. Michael added much information through the trip on the history of the area, seals, interesting rock formations, beautiful sea caves and the behaviour of the local and migrating wildlife to name a few. We would thoroughly recommend this tour to everyone young or old. Don’t hesitate!
Great day out

5.00Great trip. Loved being out on the water, getting up close to see seals, walking over island to admire the views and wombats. Excellent service and well organised business who know and respect the area.
Awesomeness!

5.00Awesome guides and skipped. They made the trip really fun. The whole day was jam packed of things to do. And the wombats, that’s everything that I wanted to experience. Maria Island was just a paradise.
