Iron Pot Cruises

Pennicott Wilderness Journeys invites you to embark on a scenic cruise adventure in the heart of Hobart, Tasmania. Aboard their brand new vessels, you will join a small group of no more than 12 passengers, ensuring a personal and intimate experience. The spacious cabin, equipped with comfortable leather seats and large awning windows, allows you to enjoy the breathtaking views of the Derwent River and its surroundings in style and comfort.

As you cruise down the river, you will be captivated by the historic Battery Point, Wrest Point Casino, and the Shot Tower, while the imposing Mount Wellington will leave you in awe. Your journey will then take you to the Iron Pot, Australia's oldest lighthouse, where you will be immersed in the rich history of Hobart's early settlement.

The adventure continues as you reach Betsey Island, an uninhabited island home to a variety of seabirds. As you circumnavigate the island, you will be greeted by the magnificent white bellied sea eagle, a true symbol of the island's natural beauty.

Your cruise will then take you to Hope Beach, a favorite spot for local surfers who enjoy the large breaks and offshore winds. You will have the unique opportunity to feel the swell surging straight from the Southern Ocean, a truly unforgettable experience.

After 2.5 hours on the water, you will return to Hobart, refreshed and with a newfound appreciation for this beautiful harbor city. Pennicott Wilderness Journeys' commitment to responsible and sustainable tourism practices aligns with We Wander's values, making them a proud partner in offering this exceptional experience.
