• 3Ordinary food, excellent boat ride.

  The journey was OK but although speakers were fitted everywhere the captains comentary could not be heard mostly. The food was not particularly good, very small portions and not that nice, money spent on this trip could be better spent elsewhere.

• 5Very interesting commentary during the cruise, friendly caring staff, fantastic lunch!

  Hi team, We are very happy to provide feedback about our experience. We absolutely loved our lunch, every component of each course was delicious! We especially enjoyed the broccoli salad and the lamb. I'm going to attempt the salad at home, it will be a favourite to share with the family. We would also like to congratulate Zoe on her excellent service and friendliness. Such a pleasure to meet someone so lovely! The cruise was wonderful too, in all, we were very well looked after with a perfectly organized trip and lunch. Very professional and highly recommended. Thank you for a lovely day, it will be a memorable one helping us to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary. Regards Rosanne and John Show quoted text

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).
