This was my favourite...

Published on Feb, 2025

This was my favourite trip in Hobart area. Our tour guide was very informative. We would definitely recommend

Top value. Excellent comfortable boat. Great guide and helmsman Luke. So easy going, competent and knowledgeable.

Two and a half hours you do not want to miss in Hobart. Explore the Derwent estuary right out to the ocean edge at Betsey Island and the Iron Pot Lighthouse. Get up close and personal with the ancient layered cliff faces and caves. Pass within metres of large sea bird colonies. If you are lucky like we were, come quietly up next to a large very handsome Australian Fur seal, sleeping on his back with one flipper up in mid air in the open sea. When he did realise we were there, he did three lazy clockwise rolls, look us clearly in the eye and glided away. A most enjoyable experience. So well looked after by Luke. Friendly interaction between our fellow travellers. Highly recommended.

All you need to see from the water and more.

A fabulous trip and great way to see Hobart, the coastal suburbs and some islands from the water. Sam was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and considerate to all his pax. I was concerned the boat might have been too bumpy and fast for my recently ill husband but he was very comfortable the whole time. It was easy to move around the boat and take photos from all sides. We saw more sea life than I’d expected. We did a morning trip and were pleased we did. The wind was very strong later in the day. Take the pic of Mount Wellington if it’s clear on your way out. We lost it to cloud upon our return.

Beautiful trip really...
