• 5Fantastic!

  Our captain and guide, Kate, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw seals, geological formations, the shot tower, lots of birds, caves, the tip of Bruny Island, Betsy Island and the Iron Pot Lighthouse. Kate's commentary was very informative and passionate. We were supplied with blankets, as it was quite chilly, softdrinks available (included in the price) and a toilet available to use. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip!

  Fantastic tour with our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide Hugh. Breathtaking scenery with the added bonus of seeing two seals sunbathing on the rocks!

• 5Iron Pot Lighthouse

  It was a great cruise. Started with being shown from the boat, Battery Point. Casino, some wealthy homes. The school Queen Mary used to go to. Some caves, rock formations and how some disintegrate over time, which includes the caves losing rock over time. Went as far as seeing Bruny Island from a distance. Saw some seals and finally the lighthouse. The oldest in Australia. It wasn’t tall as some but impressive. The tour lasted 2.5 hours. With doing.

About Hobart

Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, is a harbour city of sandstone warehouses and colonial cottages beneath the slopes of Mount Wellington.

Hobart sits where the Derwent River widens into a deep harbour, with Mount Wellington rising behind it to more than 1,200 metres, often dusted with snow in winter. Founded in 1804, it is the second-oldest of Australia's capital cities. The sandstone warehouses of Salamanca Place, the cottages of Battery Point and the yachts moored at Constitution Dock give the waterfront its character.

Top-ranked sights in Hobart: Bruny Island, Richmond Village, Mt. Wellington (Kunanyi).
