What To Expect
Pennicott Wilderness Journeys - Tasmanian Seafood Seduction
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.

Excellent trip. Not cheap...

5.00Excellent trip. Not cheap but worth every penny. Seafood is off the scale in freshness and preparation- staff very knowledgeable- lots to drink and a small enough group to make this feel intimate not touristic.
A must do trip if you like seafood.

5.00Lots of food and wine, make sure you are hungry. Take a warm jacket as it can get a bit windy travelling around, but the skipper will pull into little sheltered areas to cook magnificent food. Best day trip in Hobart that we've been on so far.
Fabulous feed and scenery

5.00Definitely the amazing scenery, as we left Hobart behind and discovered untouched land further south.
“Gourmet” is in accurate description!

5.00This was one of the most amazing activities we’ve ever done! I’m sure all their guides are wonderful, but Thomas and Nat took especially great care of us. The food Thomas dived for and brought back to the boat was promptly prepared and was delicious! You can’t get any fresher seafood! We could really tell they had expertise regarding wildlife and the ocean, and they genuinely take care of their passengers like they do their environment. We got to spot seals playing and dolphins swimming in our boat’s wake. I honestly can’t imagine a better way to spend a day in Hobart than this activity.
An amazing day out on Tasmanian waters, with great hosts, enjoying a variety of fine wines and fresh seafood.

5.00Thomas and Elizabeth were the ultimate hosts on a well-equipped boat, giving a detailed tour exploring the shoreline of western Bruny Island and Southeastern Tasmanian coast. Being treated to fresh oysters, crayfish, abalone and salmon. Served along with a choice of Tasmania’s fine wines. Enjoyed a brief crisp dip in the ocean. Witnessed a variety of native wildlife including seals and white-bellied sea eagles. We can highly recommend the wonderful day out on Tasmanian waters.
