    Just okay. Food was “okay” some in the group thought it was fine and some it was so so. The audio was a bit out of sync with the sites we went by.

    Great way to spend a hours looking at Hobart from the water. Cross the Sydney to Hobart finishing line without the sea sickness! Captain was entertaining and you got a little bit of history in relaxed way. Make sure you try the Scallop pie!

  • Good Food and wine, Commentary needs sorting

    The food and drink were good however the commentary was lacking. There were long gaps during when nothing was said. If something isn't to be seen of interest ashore then the commentary should give us other interesting facts / information about Hobart. I have been on Sightseeing bus tours and the commentary is far more fulfilling.

  • Beautiful Hobart

    Such a relaxing tour made better by a warm hearted group of fellow travellers who invited me to sit with them. The random acts of kindness can make life and travel so much more enjoyable.

    This was our 2nd cruise with this company. Previously took the afternoon cruise, this time the lunch cruise. From booking to cruising it was a great experience. Lunch was very good - salmon was cooked well. What makes these tours so good is the live commentary- fun & very informative!!! Great value for money!

    It was very informative. I have mobility issues and it was very easy to access the boat with my walker. The meals were very nice. Hubby had steak and I had salmon. Both cooked perfectly. The Citrus tart for dessert was delicious. All in all, very enjoyable
