From Hobart: Tasman Peninsula day trip with return coach, 3-hour wilderness cruise for seals and dolphins, lunch, and Devil Park.

“Highly recommended! Tasman Peninsula, the sea stacks, including the famous Totem Pole, were simply spectacular — nature at its finest. Our boat guide, Zoey/Joey (sorry if I got the name wrong 😅), was playful, cheerful, and really took care of everyone. Bonus: we spotted playful dolphins during the cruise! 🐬 After the Tasman Peninsula, we opted for Unzoo. The animals there felt incredibly free — you could really see how much care and thought has gone into creating their environment. Walking around, it felt calm and immersive, and it was lovely to see the animals behaving naturally rather than just performing for visitors. Definitely a highlight for anyone who appreciates…”
