Your tour begins with a bus collection from the Hobart waterfront where you will be taken 20 minutes south to meet the vessel and crew. You will be welcomed aboard with a hot gin cider. As the vessel launches, prepare to savour the famous abalone starter followed by an opportunity to learn to shuck oysters. Enjoy a delicious soup, scallop bake, and apple cake. Further beverages are available for purchase. These dishes will be intertwined with searching for an aurora, storytelling, stargazing, and looking for marine life.
Glide through the pristine d'Entrecasteaux Channel and let the Southern Sky captivate your senses. Learn about the rich local indigenous culture and their celestial and aquatic connections that guided generations for over 40,000 years.
Listen as seasoned commercial fishermen and women share fascinating tales of their family's history, navigating these waters by starlight. Gaze into the water as you search for sea creatures; perhaps you'll catch sight of a majestic 7-gill shark gliding by.
Continue your experience as you cruise towards Hobart as the lights from the city become visible and you see the city at its best. During this leg of the tour, a tasting of Lark whisky will be available.
An alternative menu can be provided with 24 hours or more notice.
Arrive back at Elizabeth Street Pier, the same location you began the journey, just after 8:30 PM.
