My wife and I both enjoyed the cruise around the Derwent River. We loved listening to the Captains knowledge of the river, the history of Hobart and stories.

Skipper was very knowledgeable and a really nice bloke, very helpful. Easy to navigate parking close by and leaves from the wharf in Salamanca place so the heart of Hobart

It was a total waste of money and time. We saw more on the ferry to Mona. We sat upstairs on a beautiful sunny morning with others rather than sit in the smelly down stairs area. The commentary did not work. Staff did not greet or check on us upstairs. When we went looking for staff to discuss lack of commentary they were not visible. They refused a refund or a second cruise to revisit when the commentary was "fixed". We have enjoyed memorable cruises in other cities especialy with a history focus. Not this one!
