Cruising into Storm Bay, we reach Betsey Island. This uninhabited island is home to a variety of seabirds, including gulls, cormorants and the majestic white bellied sea eagle.
As we circumnavigate Betsey Island, Hope Beach comes into view. This isolated beach is known for its large breaks and offshore winds. We cruise close in to the shore and feel the swell surging straight from the Southern Ocean; these conditions make this a favourite spot with local surfers.
After 2½ hours on the water you’ll return to Hobart refreshed, with a newfound appreciation
for this beautiful harbour city.
Iron Pot Cruises depart from the Pennicott Wilderness Journeys Booking Centre. This is situated on Franklin Wharf, next to the Constitution Dock Lifting Bridge on Hobart’s waterfront.
