Overview
Duration: 3 hours
The Tasmanian Night Sky and the
Southern ocean breeze.
Discover the magic of Tasmania’s night sky with our exclusive Sea To Sky Night Cruise. Guests will be collected by bus to meet our awaiting vessel just 20km south of Hobart. Glide through the pristine d’Entrecasteaux Channel and let the Southern Sky captivate your senses.
Learn of the rich local indigenous culture and their celestial and aquatic connections that guided generations for over 40 000 thousand years. Our seasoned commercial fishermen and women will share fascinating tales of their family’s history, navigating these waters by starlight.
Gaze into the water as we search for sea creatures; perhaps you’ll catch sight of a majestic 7-gill shark gliding by.
Your Night Cruise Adventure
Begin your journey with a ‘Welcome Aboard’ hot cider as you meet the crew.
As we launch, we’ll prepare our famous abalone starter. Followed by soup, scallop pie, oysters and apple cake. Further beverages are available for purchase. These dishes will be intertwined with storytelling, star gazing and searching for marine life.
Your experience continues as we cruise towards Hobart as the lights from the city become visible and we see the city at its best.
We arrive back at Elizabeth Street Pier – the same location we began the journey – just after 8.30pm.
