Take in unique views of multiple regional spots including the history-rich suburb of Battery Point, various wharves and overpasses and the Hobart Docks with their cavalcade of yachts and other vessels. Once arriving at the Harbour you'll disembark and enjoy a fresh batch of fish and chips straight from your kayak as you learn about the history and geography of the area from your friendly guide. With children and adults alike able to participate, and using only the highest quality kayaking gear - with no prior experience necessary - you'll have everything you need for a highly enjoyable multi-hour journey out on the water.

The tour was amazing

The tour was amazing! My girlfriend and I had a really good time. It wasn't to long or to short, it was just perfect. Having fish and chips in the kayak was a fun experience. Our guide was really nice and we enjoyed hearing some facts and history about Hobart.
