Travel aboard one of our brand new vessels in a small group of up to 14
passengers. The spacious enclosed cabin contains comfortable leather seats.
Large awning windows provide a great view and allow you to immerse yourself in
the surroundings.
Cruising down the Derwent River you'll pass historic Battery Point, now one of
Tasmania's premium residential addresses. You'll see well-known landmarks like
the iconic Wrest Point Casino and the Shot Tower. Further south, you'll truly
appreciate the scale of Mount Wellington as it towers over the city.
Arrive at the Iron Pot, Australia's oldest lighthouse, and be immersed in the
fascinating history as your guide shares stories of Hobart's early settlement.
Cruising into Storm Bay, we reach Betsey Island. This uninhabited island is
home to a variety of seabirds, including gulls, cormorants and the majestic
white bellied sea eagle.
As we circumnavigate Betsey Island, Hope Beach comes into view. This isolated
beach is known for its large breaks and offshore winds. We cruise close in to
the shore and feel the swell surging straight from the Southern Ocean; these
conditions make this a favourite spot with local surfers.
After 2½ hours on the water you'll return to Hobart refreshed, with a newfound
appreciation
for this beautiful harbour city.
