A GREAT way to learn about Hobart Harbour.

What a super way to see this stunning natural harbour. Our skipper JJ along with crew member Brandon gave us knowledgeable and humorous commentary about the natural and historical aspects ashore. JJ maneuvered the boat really close to cliffs, rocks and caves for a good look at the geology and local seals! All in all a super experience

Operator response
