Well worth it - especially if you're short on time

A one-hour cruise along the Derwent River. As luck would have it, I was the only passenger, so it felt like a private cruise! The Captain was knowledgeable and had an amazing sense of humour in his commentary.

Hobart river cruise

The cruise was fabulous, long enough and also very I formative . The lunch was very good and well worth it . Definitely a must in Hobart. We did the lunch cruise visiting g both nietn and south. I imagine that the individual north and with trips would be just as good . However we liked having lunch at the same time.
