Tasmania (Hobart), Australia

Hobart’s Coastline

Notable Landmarks and Scenic Natural Beauty Explore the calm waterways, pristine beaches and rugged coastline surrounding Hobart from the water. Take a walk to Franklin Wharf, where you will meet your experienced skipper, don your life jacket and, after a short safety briefing, board your vessel. You will cruise down the Derwent River, passing historic Battery Point, now one of Tasmania's premium residential addresses, and well-known landmarks such as the iconic Wrest Point Casino and the Shot Tower. Witness the scale of Mount Wellington as it towers over Hobart, then continue to the Iron Pot, Tasmania's oldest lighthouse, and listen as your guide shares stories of the city’s early settlement. In Storm Bay, you will circumnavigate uninhabited Betsey Island, home to an array of seabirds, including gulls, cormorants and the majestic, white-bellied sea eagle, before returning to the wharf and your ship.
