"Hello!
The cruise we went on was FANTASTIC! We saw dolphins..and lots of them! It was great to see Bruny Island as I had never been there before. I really enjoyed it and it was stunning to look at as the weather was beautiful. I am really really happy that we came to Bruny as part of our holiday to Australia- in the UK we havent really got anything like that!
Everyone was so friendly and I hope you win the tourism award you deserve.
Thanks so much!

" I had hear about it on a travel show and thought it would be exciting to go on. So, I convinced my husband do the cruise while we were on holidays in Hobart. By far the most memorable part of our holiday. My husband and I were amazed by the beauty of the landscape and marine life. What made it more pleasurable was the enthusiasm and passion of the staff, especially skipper Cole. My husband could not stop smiling during the trip and proudly showed photos of our cruise to family members. It was a wonderful experience I will never forget and will definitely plan to go again on our next trip to Tassie. "

"Well it wasn't the best weather for a boat cruise, cold and drizzling, but what a wonderful group of people and experience. Our tour guides were Mick and Andre and from the moment we stepped aboard the bus at Kettering they were friendly, funny and engaging. We took the tour with our two children and Mick and Andre were absolutely wonderful with the kids. We highly recommend the trip to anyone considering going, and make sure you don't miss out on the pumpkin soup, it was delicious.
Thanks Guys.

"We had a 4 day weekend in Hobart for susan's 60th birthday and our travel agent suggested we could consider your cruise day.
We are so glad they did, everything went like clockwork from start to finish and the people who are engaged in providing the service were excellent.
Mick had a big day picking us up in the city and his casual laid back approach and sense of humour was great, as was his knowledge about the area and wildlife plus a very skilled and competent bus and boat operator.
Julie was great in complementing Mick on board and the guy, (can't remember his name)who does the catering also provided excellent service and a friendly chat.
A mosy memorable day which I will strongly recommend to anyone.
ps Susan generally does not like boats and gets nervous when her feet cant touch bottom. The whole trip she enjoyed completely.
Thanks again.

"A Great Trip, 18 March 2010 turned into a wonderful day for My Wife and I, met at Kettering by Mick who treated us and all the other people on this trip like Royalty, being of advanced years we were treated with every consideration for our comfort and enjoyment,Mick even asked the other people to move to the other side of the boat in order to make it easier for My Wife to get down the ladder onto and off the boat-very kind of everyone and it created a very friendly and fun atmosphere, Mick and his crew are most tuned into every facet of the "Eco Cruise" scene and they know every nook and cranny of the Bruny Island Coast.
My thanks to all the Staff who helped make this a most memorable day out.
Excellent value, everyone should go.

"For the past 12 years my husband and two boys have been spending our holidays,some weekends, etc., at our little place on Bruny Island. We have always been "meaning" to go on the Eco Tour, but just never seem to get around to it. On Good Friday, instead of putting our boat in to do a spot of fishing, we decided, at the last minute, to book ourselves on the afternoon tour at 2pm. Although we knew it would be great and our boys Jed, 12 years, and Tom 10 years would just love it, we really didn't imagine it would be one of the best things we've ever done. Not only were the staff fantastic and the actual cruise was beyond our wildest dreams, we only had another 6 people on with us which made it even more personal and special. Our tour guides were Andre and Steve and I don't think we stopped smiling or laughing. In saying this, they were so knowlegeable about the tour that it took our breath away. The thing I was very impressed with is that most people would dismiss children, but Andre and Steve made sure my boys were included in all that they had to say. In fact on our way back, Andre sat with our boys for most of the trip and our boys just loved conversing with him. I have recommended this cruise to everyone I have spoken too and I'm pretty sure that I will do it again. Thank you all again, especially Steve and Andre. You are amazing. Elsa, Darren, Jed and Tom Morgan. Good Friday 2/4/10"

"Dedicated to Robert from 2 travellers who have done the cruise twice!!
"The Yellow Boats"
The skipper's name was Robert
On the Bruny Island cruise
He took us over waves and caves
You should have seen the views!
He pointed out the eagle nests
So high amongst the rocks
Then named the many different birds
As they swooped down in flocks
The next attraction was the seals
Just basking on the legdes
The boat was mastered with such skill
It never touched the edges!
We'd highly recommend this tour
Just look for yellow boats
They'll even keep you snug and dry
In bright red, windproof coats!
Cheers Rob, from Sue "

"WOOHOOO! We went on the Brunny Island Cruise at the last minute.It was recommanded by our B&B Host from THE BLUFF LOGDE.
its was the best last minute decision .We had the perfect weather ,we were so lucky we have spoted so many wildlife but the best I must say was to witness the feeding frenzy with the seals! How cool was that!But the trip wouldn't have been so memorible if Brunny Island Cruise didn't have such a FANTASTIC STAFF! From the girls at the reception who booked our tickets to the soo funny guys on the boat(it really shows how much they loved it) right through the dog back at the shop !It was my first time in Tassie & I will go back just for the the Eco cruise!

"Beyond words. What an amazing experience. It is such a pleasure to have been a part. Our thanks to Sam (and the other bus drivers) for their enthusiasm picking us up and imparting some of their local knowlegde, set us up for a great day. To Steve and Chris on the boat.....wow. Although I didn't feel the best none of this was a problem and was beautifully dealt with so I could enjoy my self. Your Staff's passion and your own is to be commended on all levels. It is very seldom these days that we are treated to commititment and a real passion in a business. We will be back I'm hooked on Bruny Island and your state. Thank you....."

"On behalf of my family I want to say thankyou for the enjoyable afternoon we had on one of your cruises. After arriving home from our
Tassie holiday a few days ago the 3hr eco cruise we took on the 8 Jan was one of our great highlights of the trip. Andre was a great captain and tour guide - he was also attentive and reassuring to my younger son (4 yrs old) in explaining what to expect from the boat ride itself. As it turned out my son loved it, smiled the whole time and his favourite part of the trip was when the boat looked like it was "flying"!
We have been to Tasmania many times over the past 13 years and each time we find another reason to return - I think your cruise has given us
another reason to add to our list. Once again thank you and I'll be sure to recommend the "yellow boat" Bruny Island Cruises."

"We loved this cruise! From the booking, right through to the lunch after the cruise, it was an awesome experience. The staff are so professional yet very personal, you're made to feel welcome, every staff member had a smile. Our boat crew were Elle and Sam, they were fantastic and we didn't stop smiling, you guys ROCKED. And of course there was what we went to see the coastline wow wow wow, it's hard to find words to describe what we saw "It's just an amazing part of the world that everyone should go and see". The day was, well in Sam's words "A Brochure Day" massive cliffs, amazing caves, entertaining seals, beautiful dolphins and fine weather. This is a real winner and good luck for the next 12 years of operation. Thankyou to all the staff, a special thanks to Glenda who took the booking.
I am telling my friends that this is a must and it's the Yellow boats!!!!! Cheers Dean and Samantha. Victoria"

We two 'wrinklies' enjoyed the adrenaline rushes of powering through impossible gaps and sea caves. Mind blowing! Mick and Kate, thank you for a great day."

"It was one of the most thrilling days of my life. It is indeed a privilege to be able to see the great wilderness & wildlife of this beautiful island - & to do it in such a fun way is an added bonus. Your whole team is obviously experienced & well trained, with each member carrying out their duties in a professional manner. But most importantly, these wonderful people are so passionate about Bruny Island, & are keen to share their expertise with us. Their genuine friendship was infectious, & all passengers were made to feel a part of the team for the day. Colin was in charge, & seemed to make everything happen with a minimum of fuss; Michael's humour made for a lively bus trip to & from Hobart; Andree skippered the boat with great skill, & his commentary was both entertaining & insightful; Ben was always on hand to chat & answer questions. I volunteered to sit in the front seat as there was a single seat going begging. Without doubt I had the best seat in the house.No wonder you have won so many awards! Three hours passed way too quickly, but I will be back for more! I am wearing out your souvenir DVD by watching it at every opportunity - a wonderful memento to keep. All the passengers I spoke to were on such a high (both during & after the trip). I do hope you are aware of the joy your tours bring to so many people. Thankyou again & again...... "
