Great Experience

We have done the Peppermint Bay experience before and could not to get back to Hobart to do it again. The first time was great this time was better, the crew and Captain do a magnificent job with friendly service backed up by excellent food and good quality wines. We will be back again, thanks team you go above and beyond.

The staff are superb. We could not recommend it more highly

Ordinary 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.

Very 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
