Featured review

Hayley

The trip is definitely worth the money- we didnt get to see any wildlife on the day, but getting up close to the cliffs, and learning the history of the area from the tour guide definitely made up for it. Very beautiful scenery and a nice little trip up and down the coast

Good short tour of coast

carla_r, May 2026

Nice short tour along the coast, quite enjoyable. Gives you a different perspective of the area. Was a smooth ride. Didn't see any marine life

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Hello Carla, thank you for your review, we are glad you enjoyed the Cape Cruise with a smooth ride and seeing the coastline from a different perspective. The Cape Woolamai area is primarily a marine bird habitat. We do see marine life feeding in the area however, marine life can be unpredictable. We would love to see you on board one of our Whale Cruises if you are interested.

Boat cruise San remo pier

Lisa_M, May 2026

Was such fun. You have the option to be upstairs or downstairs and out on the deck or below warm. They serve coffee and delicious cake. Wear warm clothing in colder months as it is quite cold on the water. I would do this again

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you Lisa for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your cruise with us and look forward to welcoming you back on board in the future.

Thank you for a lovely review! We appreciate the kind words and are very happy to hear you enjoyed your experience with us. Thank you again for joining us onboard.

Great ferry ride for the kids with beautiful scenery

Peter_C, Jan 2026

Beautiful ferry ride to see the sights of Cape Woolamai. Pefectly age appropriate for my 7 and 4 year olds who loved it. Scenery is beautiful - a good excuse for taking a boat ride. 1 hour length is perfect for the kids. Lucky enough to have seen some seals as well! Staff and crew all really professional and knowledgeable.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Hi Peter! Thank you so much for the lovely review. We’re really pleased to hear our Cape Cruise was a great fit for your family and that the kids enjoyed their time on the water. It’s wonderful you were able to spot some seals too! We hope to welcome you and your family back on board again for another coastal adventure!

Lovely little ride

Keith_L, Dec 2025

It was refreshing, not too long, and not too crowded, good commentary too and exceptional navigation/driving skills

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Hi Keith, thank you for your review! We’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed the pace of the cruise, the commentary and your time on the water. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to the skipper. Exceptional boat handling always makes for a smoother, more enjoyable experience. We hope to see you back on board again soon!

It was amazing. The boar...

CarlNelson_C, Feb 2025

It was amazing. The boar left on time, the crews were attentive. It was also clean. I liked the cake they served midway.

Beautiful views

Not a 3 hour cruise

Suellen_W, Mar 2024

Sunny day, small group. Lovely short cruise seeing the Island from a different view point. Would highly recommend

Nice location

Mustafa_J, Mar 2020

Nice location, close to major tourist attractions in the island. freindly atmosphere. Spacious area to accomodate campers even in busy weekends.

Cape Woolamai Cruise

Mike_S, Dec 2018

Excellent trip with please commentary outlining the history of the Cape. The best way to see the cliffs facing Bass Strait whilst having morning tea. Unfortunately there was no special sea life on show but we loved the trip and the friendliness of the crew.

It wasn't what was promised. It was...

Andrew M, Feb 2017

It wasn't what was promised. It was only a very quick tour and we only got to see things on the way out to Cape Woolamai. On the way back we just came back as fast as they could get us back. We were running late, so we rang ahead and asked if they could wait. The person who answered told us that we should have been there 15 minutes before the departure time, as mentioned on their website, but there was no mention on the tickets of what time we had to get there, so we were trying to arrive at the departure time. The women was rude and implied that we should have known better.

Even in poor weather tour guides...

Nicole J, Dec 2016

Even in poor weather tour guides made it interesting and were careful to show us all we hoped to see while being quick to move on when the water was choppy, minimising passenger discomfort, I came back grateful we had experienced rain as it added to the colour of the cliffs seeing them in sun and rain as the captain had explained occurred. Crew made you feel they were delighted to have you join them, they also did a wonderful job of assisting some disabled tourists in enjoying the experience.
