Traveler reviews
Excellent and good value for money
A great one hour cruise around the north of Hobart with interesting commentary. Well worth it if you are looking to do something for an afternoon.

Hobart on the water
Very educational cruise with good historical information given throughout the cruise and a nice lunch
Highly recommend
It was a beautiful calm sunny day so tt made the cruise very enjoyable The scenery was beautiful and the commentary excellent
Great option if you’re on a budget ( lunch cruise )
I enjoyed my 90 minutes on the Derwent Did the lunch cruise Boat is quite aged Good commentary I chose the salmon - loved it Drinks are pricey Didn’t venture down to amenities This is not a princess cruise and if you adjust your expectations accordingly , you’ll have a good experience.
