Tasman Island is one of the most dramatic and striking uninhabited islands off the Tasman National Park peninsula.

It’s known for its huge sea cliffs, variety of wildlife such as seals, dolphins, and whales, and abundant sea birds such as sea eagles, albatross, peregrine falcons, and cliff-nesting cormorants.

One of the best ways to explore this island is on a Tasman Island cruise, which is as thrilling as the scenery itself!

As you jet around on a custom-built vessel, you get to witness the highest vertical sea cliffs in the Southern Hemisphere, marvel at rock formations, sea caves, waterfalls, and jet through archways.

We chose to do a Tasman Island Cruise from Port Arthur with Rob Pennecott Tours. In this guide, I have shared how you can do this tour and what to expect.

Rob Pennicott is a Tasmanian celebrity. He has been running Tasman Island cruises along the coastline of Port Arthur since 1999.

He reminded me of Steve Irwin.

Quick with a joke and a smile, a passion for nature, and enthusiasm about the rugged beauty of South East Tasmania’s coastal wilderness.

It started as a small family business, and now because of its world-class service and sustainable coastal wilderness experiences, Pennicott Wilderness Journeys has a staff of over 70, has won numerous awards, and now runs several island cruises in the area.

25% of the business profits are donated to conservation projects and in 2011 Rob circumnavigated Australia in a 5.4 metre dinghy raising over $290,000 for conservation and assisting Rotary in eradicating polio.

Not a bad tour guide.

I was fascinated by Rob, as much as I was by the stunning scenery and the seals that waved to us from the sea.
