Hobart 3 Hour Sightseeing and Fishing Cruise

Begin your adventure by cruising through some of southern Tasmania’s most beautiful coastal waters, passing rugged cliffs, tranquil bays, and secluded stretches of shoreline. Each journey is different, as the route is tailored to the day’s conditions. Keep an eye out for wildlife, as dolphins, seals, sea eagles, and black-faced cormorants often appear alongside the boat. When visibility is good, enjoy a distant view of the historic Iron Pot Lighthouse.

Cruise past the Huon and Tassal salmon farms and learn how Tasmania’s famous Atlantic salmon are raised in nearshore sea cages. Seals are often spotted around the farms, making this a great wildlife viewing opportunity.

Arrive at the fishing and diving grounds, home to one of the finest reef systems around Hobart. This area is also home to the closest giant kelp forest to Hobart, offering the chance to explore Tasmania’s unique underwater landscape, including cold-water corals. Divers may have the opportunity to collect Southern Rock Lobster, abalone and sea urchins, while anglers can target species such as blue-throat, cod, gurnard perch, swell sharks, gummy sharks, warehou and squid. As this area is a designated shark protection zone, any sharks caught must be released unharmed.

On the way back, the crew will choose calm waters where guests can have a turn at the helm and enjoy a hands-on boating experience, as well as take photos to capture the moment.
