Pennicott Wilderness Journeys - Tasmanian Seafood Seduction
Meet your two expert guides and travel companions at Franklin Wharf on Hobart’s historic waterfront. Leave the city behind for a trip along the waterways of Hobart. Admire spectacular scenery as you glide down the Derwent River into the sheltered waters of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel around Bruny Island. Throughout the day, your guide shares extensive knowledge of the region, informed by years of experience in and around these waters. Cruise to a secluded bay where your guide will jump into the water to hunt for abalone and sea urchins. Watch your guide prepare the ocean bounty that they have gathered. Try rock lobster prepared two ways, cooked and sashimi style, along with delicious seafood dishes cooked up on the spot. You will also dine on freshly shucked oysters and salmon. The meal is accompanied by a gourmet spread of fresh local breads, salads and artisan cheeses, and matched with premium wines, boutique beer, ciders and locally-made organic juices.

Amazing Seafood direct from pristine environment.
Excellent value for the price could not eat all the food. Plentiful quality drinks supplied and all the food prepared as if you were in a chefs kitchen. Nothing was a problem. Jordy and Jordan with their first hand knowledge of the area were great hosts. A Great day.
Response from the operator: Dear Wayne Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your day on the water and felt the experience offered such great value. One of the highlights of the Seafood Seduction experience is enjoying fresh Tasmanian seafood harvested directly from the pristine waters around us, and we’re so pleased you enjoyed both the quality and abundance of the food and drinks on offer. Jordy and Jordan will be thrilled to receive your kind feedback. Their local knowledge and passion for the region help make the day even more memorable, and it’s wonderful to hear they were such great hosts. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable seafood adventure in the future. Cheers Melinda

The BEST day out!
This day out on the boat was booked for us by our tour agent as part of a longer trip to Australia. It was the highlight of our entire trip. Thomas and Jordan were just incredible hosts, knowledgeable, fun, great sea urchin diver (Thomas), and great cooks. The food just didn’t stop coming, it was very high quality seafood with lots of wine, beer soft drink drinks to wash it down with. All being watched by two sea eagles! I cannot recommend this highly enough.
Response from the operator: Dear Wendy Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review. We’re thrilled to hear the Tasmanian Seafood Seduction Cruise was the highlight of your trip to Australia — that really means a lot to us. Thomas and Jordan will be delighted to hear your kind words, and it’s fantastic to know the incredible seafood, relaxed atmosphere and unforgettable setting made the day so special. Thank you for the high recommendation — we’re so glad you joined us for this experience. Cheers Melinda

Tasmanian Seafood Gourmet Full-Day Cruise Including Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hobart.
How much does Tasmanian Seafood Gourmet Full-Day Cruise Including Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $500 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hobart usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tasmanian Seafood Gourmet Full-Day Cruise Including Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hobart is not rushed.
Is Tasmanian Seafood Gourmet Full-Day Cruise Including Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 46 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Hobart, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tasmanian Seafood Gourmet Full-Day Cruise Including Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Tasmanian Seafood Gourmet Full-Day Cruise Including Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tasmanian Seafood Gourmet Full-Day Cruise Including Lunch?
+
Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hobart can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hobart and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tasmanian Seafood Gourmet Full-Day Cruise Including Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hobart within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hobart?
+
On Outty we rank every Hobart experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include kunanyi/Mt Wellington Explorer Bus- Return Tour (2.5 hours), Full-Day Guided Bruny Island Tour from Hobart, Day Tour in Mt. Field, Mt. Wellington, Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and Richmond. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hobart?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hobart?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Tasmanian Seafood Gourmet Full-Day Cruise Including Lunch?
+
Included: Beverages: Local wine, beer, cider and juice; Local guide; and Lunch. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Tasmanian Seafood Gourmet Full-Day Cruise Including Lunch?
+
Our office is located next to the lifting bridge at Franklin Wharf, Hobart. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Tasmanian Seafood Gourmet Full-Day Cruise Including Lunch offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Tasmanian Seafood Gourmet Full-Day Cruise Including Lunch?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Tasmanian Seafood Gourmet Full-Day Cruise Including Lunch wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Tasmanian Seafood Gourmet Full-Day Cruise Including Lunch if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
