Itinerary

1

Meet your two expert guides and travel companions at Franklin Wharf on Hobart’s historic waterfront. Leave the city behind for a trip along the waterways of Hobart. Admire spectacular scenery as you glide down the Derwent River into the sheltered waters of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel around Bruny Island. Throughout the day, your guide shares extensive knowledge of the region, informed by years of experience in and around these waters. Cruise to a secluded bay where your guide will jump into the water to hunt for abalone and sea urchins. Watch your guide prepare the ocean bounty that they have gathered. Try rock lobster prepared two ways, cooked and sashimi style, along with delicious seafood dishes cooked up on the spot. You will also dine on freshly shucked oysters and salmon. The meal is accompanied by a gourmet spread of fresh local breads, salads and artisan cheeses, and matched with premium wines, boutique beer, ciders and locally-made organic juices.

Amazing Seafood direct from pristine environment.

Excellent value for the price could not eat all the food. Plentiful quality drinks supplied and all the food prepared as if you were in a chefs kitchen. Nothing was a problem. Jordy and Jordan with their first hand knowledge of the area were great hosts. A Great day.

The BEST day out!

This day out on the boat was booked for us by our tour agent as part of a longer trip to Australia. It was the highlight of our entire trip. Thomas and Jordan were just incredible hosts, knowledgeable, fun, great sea urchin diver (Thomas), and great cooks. The food just didn’t stop coming, it was very high quality seafood with lots of wine, beer soft drink drinks to wash it down with. All being watched by two sea eagles! I cannot recommend this highly enough.

Must Do In Hobart!

This tour was the best one I have ever been on. Both tour guides were knowledgeable about Hobart and all of the surrounding areas. The boat was comfortable too. The food couldn’t have been any better. Everything was so fresh and prepared perfectly. This is a must do in Hobart and it is worth every penny!
