Overview

The Derwent River runs through Hobart, offering a waterway lined with notable sites. This harbour cruise takes place aboard the vessel Spirit of Hobart and is operated by Hobart Historic Cruises, a company with over 30 years of experience. The cruise lasts about one hour and includes live commentary describing the sights along the route. There are two main cruise routes: the North route heads inland passing the Botanical Gardens, Government House, and under the Tasman Bridge before crossing to Rose Bay and returning via Montagu Bay. The South route travels around the bay past Battery Point, Sandy Bay, and the Casino, then crosses to the eastern shore near Bellerive Bluff before returning from Kangaroo Bay. Light refreshments can be purchased during the morning and afternoon cruises. Other options available through the company include a 1.5-hour lunch cruise with a one-course meal and a 2-hour dinner cruise offering a three-course meal and one complimentary drink (the dinner cruise requires at least eight passengers to operate). Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included in the cruise price.
