Our Iron Pot Cruise was so enjoyable, our skipper Sam was a lot of fun and did a great job on what was a windy and choppy day. He always ensured we were comfortable with the conditions and provided constant information about the sights and their history. The length of the trip was perfect for the afternoon. Drinks (water, juice & soft drink) were available. The ladies in the office were also very helpful and friendly.

Great afternoon. Skipper Kate is exceptional in both knowledge and as a skipper. Complete with Dolphins, seals, sea birds, raptors and landscapes with history and stories thrown in. Small group.
Highly recommended for those who love the ocean and perspective from the sea.

We had smooth water which made it a terrific ride-along the coast going south to see the Hobart coastline, then over to the lighthouse and back up the east side of the river.

This was such a great tour, perfect for an afternoon. Sam was really insightful, had plenty of fun stories to share, and extensive knowledge of the area. We saw seals, penguin-like cormorants, and the stops along the way were really interesting. We really enjoyed ourselves and have already recommended the tour to friends.

An utterly relaxing and comfortable experience with stunning views of Hobart's coastline. The sight of beautiful islets and a solitary lighthouse, complemented by sightings of sea lions and bald eagles, was truly memorable. The addition of complimentary beverages enhanced the journey. Our guide was exceptionally humorous, engaging, and approachable, making for a very pleasant trip. Highly recommended for those seeking a blend of natural beauty and warm hospitality.

Boat visit to known features along the river. Giving everyone a view of prominent aspects. I felt it provided all travellers an opportunity to see things up close. Overall the tour guide was informative and gave interesting commentary as we moved around the bay.
