Maria Island is a stunning island located off the east coast of Tasmania. Located about 75 minutes from Hobart, Maria Island is accessible by boat from Triabunna and has no vehicles on the island. A modern ferry takes you across and we either explore the island by foot or using bikes (regular or electric).

The island is a natural paradise with an abundance of wildlife such as Wombats, Kangaroos, Cape Barren geese Wallabies and more. We have time to explore the unique painted sandstone cliffs and enjoy a picnic lunch before returning.

We were overnighting in Melbourne and hire  great private tours for both days. Our first day was a Melbourne city tour.... read more Including Brighton, bathing boxes, city tour. The cathedral, one of the arcades, and then we proceeded out to philip island. At philip island we were treated to penguin priority seating and watch the penguin parade  An amazing feat of nature. A must do if you are in the melbourne area!



The next day we proceeded out to Sovereign Hill to see the mining town an tour a ballard.



I cannot express our appreciation enough for our guide Fiona. She was absolutely outstanding. Since this was a private tour, she was flexible to our needs.For example, we are an older group, and need more frequent restroom stops. She safely got us to all our locations and back to the ship. In a timely manner and also gave us a full city tours. Both days( melbourne and ballard). It's too bad that Fiona couldn't be our guide in Sydney as well.  If in Melbourne book through great private tours. Ask for Fiona. Thank you Fiona for everything.

Our helicopter pilot was engaging, knowledgeable and most import, flew us there and back safely. We would definitely engage them again.
