Tasmania's Coastal Wilderness

OVERVIEW

Behold the natural beauty of the surrounding area from a unique water perspective while cruising the waters off Hobart. It will be an exhilarating experience as you will cruise on a state-of-the-art Rigid Inflatable Boat, which unlike most RIBs features enclosed cabins with leather seating and expansive windows. There is also abundant space out on deck if you prefer to view the coastline in the fresh sea air. As you travel down the Derwent River and on into Storm Bay, you will see luxurious residences dotting Battery Point and landmarks such as the Iron Pot Lighthouse, which convicts constructed in 1832. The peak looming in the distance is Mount Wellington, which is also known by its Aboriginal name – Kunanyi. Circling the natural reserve of Betsey Island will be another highlight as it is a haven for seabirds such as gulls, cormorants and white-bellied sea eagles, the second-largest bird of prey Down Under.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Cruise the island-dotted waters off Hobart in a remarkably modern Rigid Inflatable Boat.
• Observe the landmarks while out on deck or from the comfort of the enclosed cabins.
• See affluent residential areas, a historical lighthouse and Mount Wellington in the distance.
• Look for a variety of seabirds while cruising off Betsey Island, a natural reserve.
