★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 126 reviews · 1 day · from $208

Cruise Maria Island from Triabunna for wildlife, sea caves, geology, lunch, and a guided walk through Darlington’s convict past.

“This is a very enjoyable tour with incredible scenery, dolphins, seals and birds. While we both suffered from slight seasickness earlier in the day, the boat ride was exhilarating, particularly on the way back as we bounced and rolled over the waves as Michael skilfully guided us home. His knowledge of the area, both its history and geology made the trip very interesting. Olivia's guided tour of Darlington and surrounds on Maria Island added to the enjoyment of the day. We were looked after very well by both Olivia and Michael and recommend this tour.”
