Yes. Every guest needs entry because the departure jetty is inside the Historic Site. Choose the option that includes site entry, or book the cruise-only option if you already have a valid ticket and bring proof with you for check-in.

This booking starts in Port Arthur, so make your own way there and allow about 90 minutes by car from Hobart. Free parking is available in the Historic Site’s main car park; check in at the Visitor Centre, walk down to the jetty and be ready 15 minutes before departure.

Yes. The custom-built catamaran is enclosed on three sides, giving you shelter while keeping clear coastal views and room to move around. Dress in warm layers and bring a jacket, hat, sunscreen and your camera, as it can feel cooler out on the water.

The purpose-built boat handles these coastal conditions well, but you may still feel some swell on open water. Natural ginger tablets are available onboard, and sitting nearer the rear, keeping cool and looking toward the horizon can help if you’re sensitive to motion.

Yes. Children of all ages are welcome, with no age or height restrictions. The 90-minute duration, sheltered seating and onboard toilet make it a manageable family outing; dress children warmly and consider how they usually cope on open water.

There’s a good chance of spotting Australian fur seals, dolphins and seabirds such as albatrosses or sea eagles along the route. Whales may also pass the coast during migration season, but every trip is different and wildlife sightings can’t be guaranteed.

Yes. The catamaran is wheelchair accessible and has space for two wheelchair users. Because capacity is limited and individual boarding needs vary, after booking please contact us with any mobility requirements.
