A 2½ Hour Cruise from Hobart's Waterfront

Iron Pot Cruises is a 2½ hour cruise exploring the renowned waterways that influence Hobart's lifestyle. Visit Australia's oldest lighthouse, circumnavigate Betsey Island and discover the city's rich maritime past.

Travel aboard one of our brand new vessels in a small group of up to 12 passengers. The spacious enclosed cabin contains comfortable leather seats. Large awning windows provide a great view and allow you to immerse yourself in the surroundings.

Cruising down the Derwent River, you'll pass historic Battery Point, now one of Tasmania's premium residential addresses. You'll see well-known landmarks like the iconic Wrest Point Casino and the Shot Tower. Further south, you'll truly appreciate the scale of Mount Wellington as it towers over the city.

Arrive at the Iron Pot, Australia's oldest lighthouse, and be immersed in the fascinating history as your guide shares stories of Hobart's early settlement.

Explore caves & see hundreds of seabirds

Cruising into Storm Bay, we reach Betsey Island. This uninhabited island is home to a variety of seabirds, including gulls, cormorants and the majestic white bellied sea eagle.

As we circumnavigate Betsey Island, Hope Beach comes into view. This isolated beach is known for its large breaks and offshore winds. We cruise close in to the shore and feel the swell surging straight from the Southern Ocean; these conditions make this a favourite spot with local surfers.

After 2½ hours on the water, you'll return to Hobart refreshed, with a newfound appreciation for this beautiful harbour city.

Things to Note

  • Any prices listed are in the currency of the Australian dollar (AUD) and are per person.
  • This tour does not operate on the 25th of December.
  • Make sure you dress warmly for the cruise - warm jackets, scarves, beanies and gloves are recommended. And don't forget your camera!
  • Children of all ages are welcome aboard our boats, and we take many children along on our cruises. As parents, you are probably the best judge as to how your children will cope with being out on the water for 3 hours. Still, we have found that the majority of children enjoy the experience and love seeing the amazing wildlife, huge cliffs and caves along the Bruny coastline.
  • For the majority of the year, the cruise is quite suitable for pregnant women. Our boats are custom-built for the coastline that we cruise along. They can cut through chop, and therefore we can avoid the bumping of waves that some boats experience. It is a good idea to take into account the weather conditions on the day of the cruise, as this will affect comfort levels for someone who is heavily pregnant. You can contact us a day or two ahead to get a weather report for the day of your cruise, and we are happy to move or cancel bookings if it is not looking suitable for you.
  • This is a nature sightseeing cruise with a 50% chance of spotting seals and seabirds. However, seeing whales, dolphins, and albatrosses depends on the weather and the luck of nature, so we cannot guarantee their appearance.
