The Peppermint Bay cruise was a lovely, relaxing day out. The staff on the boat were excellent & the lunch was very good. We would highly recommend this cruise for a great day out.
We have done the Peppermint Bay experience before and could not to get back to Hobart to do it again. The first time was great this time was better, the crew and Captain do a magnificent job with friendly service backed up by excellent food and good quality wines. We will be back again, thanks team you go above and beyond.
A cruise along the Derwent River past Hobart's southern suburbs onto the channel with great views of Bruny Island with a great views and a couple of cheeky glasses of 🥂 you arrive at Peppermint Bay restaurant and treated to some amazing food made with local produce. The staff are superb. We could not recommend it more highly
The journey was OK but although speakers were fitted everywhere the captains comentary could not be heard mostly. The food was not particularly good, very small portions and not that nice, money spent on this trip could be better spent elsewhere.
Hi team, We are very happy to provide feedback about our experience. We absolutely loved our lunch, every component of each course was delicious! We especially enjoyed the broccoli salad and the lamb. I'm going to attempt the salad at home, it will be a favourite to share with the family. We would also like to congratulate Zoe on her excellent service and friendliness. Such a pleasure to meet someone so lovely! The cruise was wonderful too, in all, we were very well looked after with a perfectly organized trip and lunch. Very professional and highly recommended. Thank you for a lovely day, it will be a memorable one helping us to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary. Regards Rosanne and John Show quoted text
The boat journey was fascinating with a great commentary. Peppermint Bay was beautiful with a lovely 3 course lunch at the hotel. Highly recommended
I had two friends visiting from the mainland and we all thoroughly enjoyed the day. The boat ride was great, with good commentary, and Peppermint Bat itself was beautiful. We had a lovely 3 course meal with a glass of wine and enjoyed the day.
Beautiful scenery. Delicious lunch. Captain pointed out interesting landmarks and spotted seals. A really enjoyable day.
Beautiful scenery, excellent lunch in lovely surroundings, friendly staff on boat and restaurant. Highly recommend.
We are glad you enjoyed your Peppermint Bay Lunch Cruise. The scenery is simply stunning, we love showing our visitors a lovey day on the water and show casing Tasmanian produce at our restaurant. We hope you can visit again.
A great trip. The large catamaran has big windows and very comfortable sears. The Captains commentary was very informative and the boat slowed and stopped at the interesting spots. The lunch in the Peppermint restaurant was outstanding. The food was varied and interesting and was served on plates in the centre of the table. Diners then held themselves from them. There was plenty to eat and it was all very tasty . We had some indifferent weather at the start of the cruise but it didn't affect our enjoyment. We were a group of ten and would all recommend this trip to you.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a great time on the tour. It's fantastic that you enjoyed the comfort of the catamaran and the captain's informative commentary, as well as the delicious lunch at Peppermint Restaurant. We're also glad the weather didn't hinder your experience- sometimes the weather just adds to the journey! It sounds like your group had a memorable time, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We'd love to welcome you all back for another amazing adventure in the future!
