The Gardens Explorer

AUD $125.00
  • Duration: 2 Hours (approx.)
  • Location: Binalong Bay, Tasmania

Experience the Bay of Fires at it's finest. This two hour tour offers passengers a unique viewing perspective and the opportunity to learn about our stunning coastline. Heading out from Binalong Bay, the history and natural beauty will be highlighted as we traverse our way north along the Bay of Fires coastline. 

Our return journey is an offshore experience giving you a panoramic view of the coastline, just as the early explorers would have encountered when they first set eyes on our white sandy shores. At different times of year we are blessed witha variety of sea and bird life, you may be lucky enough to encounter a migrating whale, a pod of friendly dolphins, seals basking on the rocks or an albatross gliding through the air. But of course animal encounters can not be guaranteed. 

IMPORTANT TOUR INFORMATION

Our tour schedules can vary due to tidal and weather conditions, please read tour times carefully when making your booking. Passengers must arrive 30 minutes prior to departure, this allows sufficient time to conduct all pre boarding procedures. 

Our vessel is powered by 3 x 250hp engines, we are not a jet boat style of tour, however, we do operate at speed, usually around 35km/h and our tours are in the open ocean. Our tours are completely vessel based, we do not disembark at any time. 

Sometimes sea conditions dictate the tours we can undertake, on occasion our Gardens Explorer tour must be shortened to the Sloop Rock Express, we understand this can be disappointing for some passengers, however your enjoyment, safety and comfort is our number one priority. 

We require minimum 6 adults to conduct our tours, we will contact you if minimum numbers have not been reached the evening before your scheduled departure.

Children must be accompanied by an adult – Please be mindful when booking for children, the open ocean can be daunting for some and the vessel is exposed to the elements. If your child is under the age of 5 or you have any concerns please feel free to contact us to discuss. Due to the nature of the open ocean, our tours are not recommended for expectant mothers, persons with pre-existing back or neck injuries or anyone who has undergone recent surgery.

Guest cancellations made up until 24 hours before departure are refundable, less a $10 per passenger fee, this amount helps to cover the booking and credit card processing fees incurred. Guest cancellations made within 24 hours of tour and passenger no-shows are unfortunately non refundable.
