We had the best day with Noah and his crew. They were hilarious and fun but so professional. Saw lots of wildlife - seals, penguins, albatross and the scenery was spectacular.

We were collected by the boat directly from Freycinet Lodge which was great. The staff were accommodating and offered an informative commentary as we cruised. Safety was a concern so we felt well looked after by staff. We stopped at some points of interest and to see some wildlife on our way to Wineglass Bay. We spotted seals, a massive Sea Eagle nest, Birdlife and jellyfish. We anchored in a sheltered area of Wineglass Bay where the water was a beautiful colour with the whitest of sand. Lunch was pre-packed but did not include a drink (available for a surcharge). The food was nice and fresh and dietary options are available. There is a bar on the boat, we had the downstairs option, there is an upstairs option for a surcharge. The seating is enclosed however you can go outside (front or back) for fresh air and better views. It is a nice way to see Wineglass Bay if you don't want to or can't hike in however it would be a nice option if it were possible to get off the boat at Wineglass Bay. All in all, a lovely day on the water and not too rough, always a bonus.

All the family had a great time even though the weather meant no Wineglass bay. We were looked after superbly and lunch was delicious. Definitely recommend this interesting cruise

We had 5 great hours with delicious food and drink. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We experienced a great trip with albatrosses and dolphins, a picturesque landscape and of course a turquoise water in Wineglass Bay. All in all, a round thing. The crew took great care of the well-being of the guests. We felt welcome and well looked after, great service, thank you.

EXCELLENT!! This is the most wonderful way to see Wineglass Bay. The whole trip right from the start to the end was fantastic. Clean modern catamaran, wonderful crew, especially Ian and skipper Mick. Tip: pay the extra for the sky lounge ticket, worth every penny!! The most spectacular scenery, lunch and morning tea. All drinks included as well. Top deck of the cat, though you have free rein to wander around the whole boat. Lucky to see seals, sea eagles, albatrosses and a huge pod of dolphins who played with us as the boat went along.

From my arrival in Coles Bay, I knew it was going to be a great day. The setting was picture perfect.I was greeted with a clear sunny sky and aqua blue tranquil water. On check in, I decided to upgrade myself from the Vista to the Sky Lounge. I highly recommend this if you are 18+ , The staff were professional , super knowledgeable and ensured a great onboard experience. In the Sky Lounge we were looked after by Mark and Rex. Mark skippered the boat and provided commentary of the local area. I noticed Mark checked in with other team members in both lounges checking in on the welfare of passengers . He ensured we didn’t miss out on seeing any of the stunning sights this 4.5 hour cruise has on offer, expertly highlighting landmarks, bird and marine life. Looking out from the bridge seeing the pods of dolphins swimming alongside the boat was amazing. The sheer size of the albatross nest was breathtaking. Rex ensured drinks flowed and delivered friendly banter to all passengers. We were supplied morning tea and a grazing platter style lunch, coupled with freshly shucked local oysters. I sampled a coffee, delicious Milton Vineyard sparkling wine and water. There were several options of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages on offer. I was lucky to witness lots of dolphins, seals, eagles, albatross and even a whale and her calf. A highlight was seeing Wineglass Bay as we anchored there for lunch. In my opinion, it ranks up there with the Whitsunday’s Whitehaven Beach. The sand was white and the water a sparkling aqua blue. Another one of Pennicott Wilderness Journey’s professional touch was when all passengers disembarked , we were all greeted by all of the staff. An unforgettable experience. Don’t miss out!

Absolutely fabulous day with skipper Noah & the team. He went out of his way to seek out as much wildlife as he could. We booked the upper deck with the food and drinks package and it means you can access all areas of the catamaran including the bridge. Noah knows the coast line and Tasman sea line the back of his hand so we saw More dolphins than I could count, several Albatross, seals, and a couple of Whales. Whilst Noah is searching out the wildlife the other staff are looking after you.
