Entertaining and affordable cruise!

My partner and I were able to book this in at a discounted rate of $20ea. This was such a nice cruise and tour overlooking the general Hobart area including the Tasman bridge. There was space at the front of the boat for great views and photos. Thanks very much to the team who were professional and friendly.
