OUR MOST EXPENSIVE FERRY EVER!! (Is Tasmania Worth It?)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 сер 2024
- The Journey to Tasmania Begins! The ferry to Tasmania is the most expensive boat we have ever taken and also the busiest ferry we have ever booked (and we have been on a lot of ferries in our time travelling through Europe in our van) One way tickets with the van can go for $980 in peak summer plus a $210 cabin, would make for $2400 return ticket to the island. In Winter tickets appear to be around $500 one way, so $1400 return with cabin. Coming from UK where there are so many different possible routes and companies connecting us it is very unique to us for there to be only one company, one route and one boat connecting the entire island state of Tasmania to mainland Australia! The ferry books up three months in advance which is something to be aware of, but you can get added to cancellation list to hopefully get a last minute crossing if needed. We have been super excited about exploring Tasmania, so we can bring you guys along and see if the ferry is worth it! (Spoiler alert, we think it is!)
Tasmania is a hikers paradise, the mountains are incredible, the coast line is stunning and this week we get our first ever Tasmanian wild swim in!

⤈ WHO WE ARE ⤈
We are Philly and Keely and we live full time in our tiny home on wheels Martha. After building our DIY home in a Citroen Relay camper we spent a year living on the streets of London before quitting our jobs only to be met with lockdown. Then we took our van further than she had ever been before to the very beautiful Turkey. Enroute, we stopped off in Spain for a few weeks where we experienced every van lifers worst nightmare, we were robbed and they stole all valuables in our van. But then we were back on our feet, fully MOT’d and back on the road through Europe before we experienced another vanlife nightmare... our van caught fire!! After the trauma of that we had a massive change of plan and made our way to Japan. We enjoyed a three-month Japanese Adventure and then got back to Martha for some new European Adventures. After an incredible three-month Scottish road trip, we packed up our van and headed to Australia for a new van life adventure! Here we bought and built our new van in only 30 days and then took him deep into the Australian outback and beyond!

You two just keep getting funnier and funnier! Keely wins the day....after her draining hike up the mountain her first words "Did I bring sweets?" SOOOOO funny! Love it... enjoy your adventure.
For an extra treat, turn on and read the captions. It's esp funny when Keely's tired.
Hahaha thanks so much Jeffrey ❤️💪⛰️
I bet they make no sense 😂😂😂
Ah, Philly & Keely... you're totally ruining any chance of a Monday morning sleep in for us Aussies because I always wake up early and excited to see the latest chapter of your crazy adventures and cute chuckles! I love laughing along with you, it makes me so happy. ❤
Go Keely! 💪😘
Happy to have you laughing along with us too my love.❤️❤️❤️
You two are adorable .❤
Lovin life ..
I'm not ready for the world ,
Coffee ,hash brown,need to do a poo ,false alarm,.Banana slip.
Spit from an alpacha,
I did it .
Keely's laugh gets me everytime.
Brilliant ❤
Hahaha thanks so much Jane ❤️❤️ love the vlog summary 😂😂
I absolutely adore Philly's encouraging banter to keep Keely moving forward! Excellent hike guys!
Yeah he's a good spud, very grateful for him 🥰🥰
I actually missed watching keeley hike , i laugh every time 😂 think she's my twin not from Alaska lol😂😂😂😂 congratulations keeley 🎉
😂😂😂 the important thing is I keep putting one foot Infront of the other hah
@@phillyandkeely atta a girl 😆 🤣 me too
You all had me laughing so hard today! 😂 Keely high on math climbing the mountain. 💪🏻Fun adventure guys!
Thanks so much Shannon, glad we gave you a laugh 🥰🥰
You two crack me up. Well done Keely 💪 💪 💪 ❤
Thanks Claire 🥰🥰
Absolutely beautiful the way you both support each other, I knew you would love the apple isle that is Tasmania. Can't wait for your next video's & explorations. Hint on the snakes, they hear by vibration so stomp your feet while walking in & around overgrowth.
Thanks so much Michelle ❤️❤️ I'm pretty heavy on my feet, my mum and Philly love to tell me I stomp like an elephant, so maybe that's what's kept us alive so far 😂😂
What a lovely vlog to wake up and find. I know there is a master of music in your past however out of all the vlogers we talked about, the amount of well thought out backing music clips is extraordinarily good, especially the ferry montage…bravo and love to you both
Thanks so much Mick ❤️❤️ appreciate that, Philly defo puts alot of thought into choosing songs to enhance the emotion of whatever we are up to
"Banana slip." 🤣🤣 I see what you did there! And it's yellow, too! Colour-coded fruit forms! 😂🤘 They have to be on their A game not to mix up the banana forms with the lemon or pineapple forms.
Also, being Irish, do you really need a stick to scare off the snakes? Don't you just invoke the spirit of St Patrick like some sort of Patronus spell? 🙃
😂😂🍌🍋🍍 true maybe that's why we haven't seen any snakes, st Patrick oozes from us
Don't think I've ever seen Phil so excited 😊 congrats on the climb Keely ❤ safe travels x
Yeah he's been buzzing for Tasmania since before we came!
Tasmania Is worth it...there is alot to see down there. You will have a great time.
Yeah we think you are defo correct ❤️❤️ very special place
You are my favourites! Tasmania looks awesome so far. Much more my kind of place. Mountains and lakes. Fab. Xx
Awww thanks so much ❤️ yeah Tassie has been incredible;

Philly did you say you were excited...what a superb video..I'm totally like you two, I can't function without coffee and more coffee..congratulations Keely on getting up that mountain and not seeing any snakes. Getting on that ferry is just like getting a ferry from and two Northern Ireland, faff faff faff...a certificate for having a banana lol....love your footage from Tasmania so far can't wait for next episode. Take care guys and many thanks.
Thanks so much Andy! Yeah Australia takes its borders very seriously, but it's to protect its native species so I respect that. Flipping love coffee (if you couldn't tell 😂)
Absolutely bloody awesome... g'day mate ... you both are just beautiful take care stay safe
Thanks so much 🥰🥰🥰

Good one, guys..❤
Thanks Taffy 🥰🥰
I’m exhausted watching all that climbing 😜🤣🤣
😂😂😂 felt like an eternity haha
Good afternoon Keely and Philly you made it to Tasmania not only did you smash the hike Keely but you two never regret a swim it looked too hot for me plus you made great food take care you two watch out for the 👿 😘☕️☕️🍀🍀🌿🌺
It was pretty hot at times on that hike, but the swim was awesome!
Proud of you Keely you did great...I couldn't do that
Thanks Kristin, I'm sure you are capable of more than you know 🥰💪
💪💪💪 Definitely a kick arse effort 😊💕
Thankyou 🥰💪
💪🏻🙌🏻👍🏻💪🏻🙌🏻👍🏻
Keely you rocked it 🥰
Thankyou 🥰💪🥰💪
This is our main hwy out with a car and caravan its bloody incredulous the $ but we accept that's how it is enjoy your time in our beautiful state cheers
Yeah, i feel like locals should get a discount haha, it's just crazy expensive in comparison to Europe and UK, but I suppose that's because there is lots of competition and different companies and routes. One of the best ferries we've ever been on though, so can't complain ahha
You never regret a swim, especially the first Tasmanian one :)
Yeah it was so good!
Do any of those snakes swim? Brilliant Guys! Another unique outlook n adventure...."high on maths"! Totally 'get it'.(is that another t- shirt on the list?)...one of my offspring is a Maths teacher lol! Can't wait till my next Philly and Keely fix...
Yesss Heidi, love that you have a fellow math teacher in the family, math is cool people just don't know it yet 😂😂 I would defo wear a high on math teeshirt haha
💪💪💪Well done girl 💪💪💪
That lake was a bit shallow 🤣🤣
Enjoy Tasmania 👍🐸
😂😂😂 don't encourage his terrible jokes
So many funny moments but "Not a fan, not a fan" won hands down for me.🤣🤣
Super stunning scenery, didn't know Tasmania was so beautiful, thank you for sharing.

Thanks so much June ❤️❤️ was not a fan at all 😂😂
Fabulous as always. Love it. Thank you. ❤
Thanks Hazel 🥰

oh and you too Philly but it was clearly just a walk in the park for you 😅
Haha, yeah didn't even break a sweat him 😂
Well done Keely 💪🏔......that Maths high must be good 😂
It's the best high on the market 💪😂😂
Tasmania is worth it, go Mt wellington and Wineglass bay for great scenery
Thanks for the recommendations 🥰🥰 defo feels worth it
“High on maths” love it🤣🤣 My favourite UA-camrs
Haha thanks Jen, it's the new drug for cool kids gaha
💪🏊♀🏊♂⛰🌏Well done guys! Tasmania is looking pretty good so far. Any annoying mosquitoes yet? Hope the trip is going well. Safe travels and keep enjoying the ride.💌✌
There are mosquitos and they are annoying, but alot less flies than SA and the outback so that's good haha

Hahaha, glad he made you laugh, the locals got great entertainment out of it haha
Oh my goodness I bust out laughing when that naughty Alpaca spat at you, twice the little turd but gosh it was funny, I think he actually liked you like the boy's at school used to treat ya bad when they liked you 😂 I also cant believe you still had those vegan aniseed rings left but what a reward and you deserved it ❤
Haha I was gonna message you see if you noticed they were our last ones haha, only get brought out for special occasions haha!
Hi guys, that was awesome, that view was indeed nearly to die for. You have to look for: honey (yes the bees) and the platypus. Have fun, see you✌.
Thanks so much ❤️ yeah would love to see a platypus!!
⛰️ 💪🏼 ⛰️💪🏼KEVIN KILLED IT!!! Hahaha! Right. I’ve had my dose of Philly and Keely. Now I’m ready to start my week. Thanks for the laugh guys. It looks beautiful. Hope you love Tassie as much as so many of us mainlanders do. Stay safe ❤

Great Craic Philly and Keely well done on the hike.... you really inspire me to try wild swimming looks fantastic looking forward to next week's video already lol😊
Honestly Barry you gotta do it! It feels so good. We were just saying when we are back in the UK if we ever do meet ups we gotta do a wild swim one, get everyone in the sea it would be awesome ❤️
That's just the encouragement I need lol..... safety in numbers and all that😅
Great well done Glen.
Thanks Glen 🥰🥰
Tasmania looks so gorgeous. Well done on the mega mountain climb and Scotland cold swim. 🏊♀️ 🗻🧗♀️💪
Was such a good swim, so good for your body and soul to be in wild icy waters
💪💪🏔️🏔️. Well done Keely, great view from the top ! I love you two , nice , funny, polite sociable people but like to get away from the crowds on the coast ( I’d be just the same ) and need your get away time !! Was Cleveland a Lama? As they tend to spit more ?, wicked haircut and so ungrateful after you’d given him carrots 🤣 loved it Keely when you told Philly “think it’s time for stick in the gob time” 😆. Credit to you both for spending most the ferry trip editing the latest vlog . Lots of people really do appreciate it , you are both great human beings and keep a lot of us entertained and sane in a crazy world with your day to day antics . ⭐️to you both ! X
Thanks so much Harris 🥰 I did have a giggle watching back that footage when I said it 😂😂 I wonder if everyone knows what a gob is or if that's a Northern Irish colloquialism 😂
🎉❤😂😅you did the hike up the mountain!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I made it 😂🥰💪
Hiya kiddos!
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
🪨🪨🪨
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You did it Keely! What a way to get your heart pumping!! Philly, you’re always so patient and encouraging. She is fully capable of climbing mountains, but your support gets her right up to the top 👍🏼! And that swim looked so refreshing afterwards. Ok I couldn’t believe you lost the boarding pass but luckily it was easily solved with no delays into the ferry. I love the looks of Tasmania with all of the mountains! Beautiful landscapes to explore! Can’t wait to see where you go next week! Safe travels from Southern California
🌴🌴🌴
Thanks so much ❤️❤️ he's a good spud motivates me through all life haha, wouldn't function too well without him at this point 😂😂 swim was sooo good
Well done guys, ❤
Thankyou 🥰🥰
Another happy great video 😊
Thanks Andy 🥰💪
Well done Keely 💪💪⛰️⛰️
Thanks Denise
Brilliant guys 😊
Well done Keeley 💪
Thanks Mel 🥰🥰
100% Definitely worth it!!!!!
Yess 🥰🥰🥰
Fantastic mountain hiking 🥾🥾 plus super dip well done Keeley 💪💪💪💪👏👏👏👏
The water was much needed to cool down after that hike!
Great video guys. Way to go Keely! I thought of a great idea for a piece of merchandise. A T-Shirt with the logo: “High on Math” 😂
Apologies if someone has already put this.
Hahhaa, I would defo wear a high on math teeshirt
Oh wow, you came to Tassie. Loved seeing your hike and the view, and the lake. It was such a moment when you said Keely that the water temp is Scottish cold, because there are so many of us living in Tasmania with Scottish ancestors (and Irish too). Can't wait to see more of your Tasmania travels and I hope you have/had a wonderul time here. You must be here still. Please do a rain dance to bring some rain because it is the driest this year that it's been in about 15 years or more. Loving your channel and can't believe I didn't know about it before today. Take care, stay safe and hope you have the best time. You're a refreshingly beautiful couple.
Thanks so much Jo, that's all so kind of you to say ❤️❤️ and so interesting about the Scottish/Irish heritage 🥰🥰🍀🍀
Great fun following ye around love it❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Veronica ❤️
Awesome work guys, well done ❤🎉
Thankyou 🥰🥰
Well for doing the hike Keely great video😊
Thanks Christine ❤️❤️
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻⛰⛰⛰⛰⛰⛰
Great job Keely!!!
Thankyou ❤️❤️❤️
Philly usually there’s teenagers working at McDonald’s. So I think you confused them by saying two black coffees. They’re probably thinking you’re making a special order . Just say two large coffees . They were probably trying to make it blacker . Some of those kids come from Starbucks . Beautiful water love a swim a little more when you can enjoy the privacy of just the two of you . Those spots are hard to find .
😂😂😂 yeah I think it was the black thing (and in our accent) that was throwing them off haha. Yeah it was nice that it was just the two of us! Tasmania has been alot quieter than we expected
@@phillyandkeelyDefinitely your accents. Most of what you say is easy to understand but when you’re talking to a person through a box on a stand the broad Irish accent is a little harder to grasp 🤓 Maybe say “a black coffee. No milk, thanks”
The banana certificate is hilarious!! We are hoping to do the big lap in a few years time so excitedly binge watching your travels. Looking forward to seeing more!
Thanks so much ❤️❤️
Well done on the hike 💪🏻💪🏻
Thanks Edwina 🥰🥰
Just spent tonight catching up on your videos as I was unable to see them for two weeks (long story)and what a tonic Loved the Tasmania journey and the craic . Delighted you got your confidence back and driving again. Really love the animal close ups. You will be up for an Oscar soon☺️💕

Another great video guys, Tasmania looks amazing… The last few days have been really tough, you have no idea how much this video lifted my spirits today… thanks 💪🏻
Thanks Kevin, sorry to hear things have been tough, but warms our heart to know we've brought a little light into your day. Sending lots of love and hope you come out on the other side of whatever it is life is throwing at you at the moment ❤️🙏
Thanks for taking the time to reply guys, I really appreciated that. All good now. 👍🏻
Another great episodes 😊
Thanks Linda ❤️❤️
💪💪💪💪 Great job on the climb. We have a rule, if the walk starts down hill forget it, 🤣🤣. This walk was in the right direction. 😊
🤣🤣🤣 that's a good rule haha
Been loving watching this adventure of you guys, doing amazing work and really showing off both the good and the bad of your adventure. I've always been a bit put off of visiting Australia because of how dangerous it seemed as a holiday destination but you guys actually have me considering going one day.
Awww thanks so much. If it helps During our six month visa we have only seen cute and wonderful animals, nothing deadly for us, so don't let spiders and snakes put you off, the other wildlife is much more magical 🥰🥰
Well done guys. Another classic P&K episode. And as for the banana. Are they concerned incase it splits….Tra la la 🎶
Hahaha 😂😂😂 thanks guys 🥰🥰
that swim! just love you two x
Thankyou ❤️❤️ swim was so good!
Good job guys well done😊
Thanks Jayne ❤️❤️❤️
Wow on this thumbnail of ferry experience & good job Keely 💪💪💪
