From Cruise Port: Hobart
Discover the real Tasmania on our cruise to Peppermint Bay aboard a 23 metre catamaran. The vessel is warm, luxurious and fast, offering a unique and comfortable way to explore the bays of south east Tasmania. There are extensive outer deck areas and expansive floor to ceiling windows for unsurpassed views as you cruise the bays.
Located just a short walk from the cruise ship, the tour departs from Sullivan's Cove in Hobart. The cruise traverses the Harbour, the River Derwent and the magnificent waters of the d'Entrecasteaux Channel, on its way to Peppermint Bay.
Upon boarding the boat the experienced crew will show you to your seats and then throughout the cruise will provide a light commentary as you pass many significant sights.
Arriving at picturesque Peppermint Bay, a short walk brings you to the restaurant where you can enjoy a set ‘shared dining’ style lunch overlooking the water, featuring the best produce the region has to offer.
After lunch there is time for a short walk to explore Peppermint Bay and the little seaside village of Woodbridge, perhaps taking the sculpture trail along the foreshore to walk of your meal.
Back on board the catamaran, we head north to return to Hobart, following the same route made by yachtsman every year in the famous Sydney to Hobart yacht race.
During peak season the cruise operates daily and during the cooler months the cruise departs on selected days.
