Cruise to Peppermint Bay, Hobart

Introduction

Departing in the late morning from Hobart, this afternoon cruise takes its time introducing you to many of the picturesque spots on this isolated southern island.

These include the pristine Hobart Harbour, the bubbling River Derwent and the magnificent waters of the D’Entrecasteaux Channel on their way past Bruny Island and your destination at Peppermint Bay.

As you cruise, enjoy a delightful luncheon on board whilst a running commentary will keep you informed about the lifestyle, history and wildlife of Tasmania. While not spotting dolphins and witnessing the area’s breathtaking scenery from the ship’s deck, flat screen plasma televisions beam back images from the unique spy ball cameras which keep watch under the water.

Fish farms, sea gardens with their giant kelp, crayfish, weedy sea dragons, puffer fish and playful dolphins are just some of the beautiful sea creatures you might see. Landing at Peppermint Bay, you will have time for a short shore excursion, from where you can savour majestic views of Bruny Island, or explore the picturesque village of Woodbridge before your return journey to Hobart for the evening.
