Spectacular Maria Island - I highly recommended a day trip to Maria Island. I bought the shuttle bus ticket to Triabunna ferry terminal & the Maria Island ferry & National park pass separately so I can explore on my own. The shuttle bus ride is about 1,5hr, convenient, they drop you off at Triabunna, the ferry ride is only 30mnt. I noticed that the Island does not have proper signage for Painted Cliff but they do for other point of interest in the Island. The only sign of Painted Cliff is 500meters before you reach it 😆 It is quite a distance & a bit hilly before you reach the cliff. You’ll need walking shoes, water & food before you get to Maria Island, the 2 delis that are open have mediocre food, your last option would be getting sandwiches on the boat. Painted Cliff is always crowded, if you are on a tour, you have limited time to take pics, I had to wait quite a while for my turn to take pics. Although the walk to the cliff is boring but once you see Painted Cliff, you’ll realize it’s worth your while, it’s highly recommended. Again, always check with local tour operator thru the Viator’s app because Viator often gave wrong pick up location

Leave the driving to the local pros! - Perfect transport to the ferry and very friendly and competent driver. Sit back, relax, and take in the landscape. A great no hassle way to get to the ferry.

Very good - Got us to the ferry and back to the city without any issues. Departed on time. Bus was in good condition and clean. Seats weren't super comfortable but good enough for the trip.

Incredible experience - We did the Maria Island and Ile Des Phoques day trip with pick up from Hobart and it was an highlight of our trip to Tasmania - the photos of ile Des Phoques do not do it justice. Everything ran to time, including hotel pick up and drop off back at the airport, food was fantastic quality and all communications with the team prior to the day were answered in a timely manner. Michael’s passion for what he does was abundantly evident. There was nothing I could suggest to improve the tour.

Excellent - The driver was a great company and she helped us with everything. If you don’t have a car you should choose this shuttle service for sure. :)

Must Do Experience - The pick up from Hobart was a great start to a wonderful day of seal, dolphin, bird, kangaroo, pademelon and wombat (lots of wombats) spotting. Maria Island is rugged and brooding, beautiful and fascinating all at once. The former convict settlement really interesting but the highlight for me was the exploration of the stunning sea caves of both Maria Island and Ile des Poques. An amazing day with delightful and accommodating hosts.

Convenient but not friendly to all nationalities - Pick up and drop off time is prompt. Convenient service to and from Triabunna. Driver seems to be friendly to certain nationalities only. Didnt even asked where we can be dropped off on return to the city.
