Itinerary

Discover the real Tasmania on our VIP cruise to Peppermint Bay aboard a 23 metre catamaran. The vessel is warm, luxurious and fast, offering a unique and comfortable way to explore the bays of south east Tasmania.

This VIP option offers you an exclusive area, hosted by the Captain on the upper deck.  Luxurious leather seating, private viewing areas and complimentary tea and coffee make the trip all the more special.

Located just a short walk from the cruise ship, the tour departs from  Sullivan's Cove in Hobart. The cruise traverses the Harbour, the River Derwent and the magnificent waters of the d'Entrecasteaux Channel, on its way to Peppermint Bay.

Upon boarding the boat the experienced crew will show you to your exclusive seating on the top Captains deck. Plenty of room to relax in the comfortable leather seating. The crew will provide an informative commentary as you pass many significant sights.

The state-of-the-art underwater 'Spy Ball' camera, will allow you see what life is like in the waters of the Tinderbox Marine Reserve without getting wet! See giant kelp forests, crayfish, stingrays and myriad other fish species!


Arriving at picturesque Peppermint Bay, a short walk brings you to the restaurant where you can enjoy a set menu three course banquet style meal over looking the water, featuring the best ingredients the region has to offer.

After lunch there is time for a short walk to explore Peppermint Bay and the little seaside village of Woodbridge, perhaps taking the sculpture trail along the foreshore to walk of your meal.
