Guides are some of the... - Guides are some of the best you'll interact with, clearly love what they do and it just exudes out of them in a genuine manner especially the ones on the boat.
Depending on season, sighting of whales in particular may be more or less likely, went on both this and Bruny Island and saw whales on Tasman and dolphins on Bruny cruise.
If you only have time for one I'd do Bruny, maybe I just had better weather but felt the experience outside the cruises was a tad more enjoyable. HOWEVER, the unzoo, was amazing and makes the two cruises fairly even in experiences. You get to handfeed a mob of Kansas and see a tasmanian devil in action. Super cool so if you really want to see land mammals too I might do the Tasman caves but make sure you get the unzoo add-on.
Others on my tour who didn't get the unzoo sounded like they had FOMO.
Loved the experience, loved seeing the cliffs and amazing scenery and being in rough deep ocean was super cool.

The cruise itself was great although the waters were bit rough that day, thankfully they were prepared with seasickness tablets in advance as well as sickbags for those who needed it.

Sorry ... but I'll come back next time. - Because the official website couldn't book the choice of this one on viator, the director and the boat guide were very friendly, lunch and breakfast was not perfunctory, the taste was quite good. The unzoo looks small at first glance (or even a little worn out), but all the animals inside are also very cute! It's a surprise that you can even touch and feed a kangaroo.
Bad weather, some seasickness and not seeing as much beautiful scenery and abundant animals as expected, but it's not the fault of friendly people (not to mention still seeing seals, albatross and even humpback whales!) I'll pick five stars for that and come back next time.

Our tour to Port Arthur... - Our tour to Port Arthur was absolutely amazing, and a big part of that was thanks to Phill, our guide. He was by far the best instructor we’ve had on any tour! You could tell he genuinely loves his job—his enthusiasm was contagious. He kept the group engaged with his knowledge while adding humor to the experience, making it both fun and educational.
As for the tour itself, it’s completely worth every dollar. The views were breathtaking, and the itinerary felt perfectly curated for an unforgettable day. We didn’t visit the Port Arthur Historic Site, but we did go to the Tasmanian Devil Conservation Park, which was incredible! Everything was well-planned, even down to the lunch stop at the Port Arthur Lavender Farm, which was a lovely touch.
This tour exceeded all my expectations, and I’d highly recommend it—especially if Phill is your guide!

Amazing "ROCKS" at Tasman Island - The Tasman Island cruise trip is quite good but a bit too long.
The cruise brought us to different bays to watch various big and high ROCKS in a very close up mode, its amazing!
Besides, we can also see those seals resting on the rocks.
Please be reminded to wear enough clothes, as it is very windy, cold and have bellows, therefore, you will feel the trip is a bit long.
