Itinerary highlights
Sea to Sky
Cruie on the serene d’Entrecasteaux Channel under a canopy of breathtaking stars, and prepare for an unforgettable evening that blends indulgence with discovery. From the moment you step aboard, you’ll be greeted with a refreshing alcoholic drink and a delectable local platter, setting the perfect tone for an evening of relaxation and exploration. The D’Entrecasteaux Channel is a hidden gem nestled between Bruny Island and Tasmania’s southeast mainland. This extraordinary body of water serves as the majestic gateway for the estuaries of both the Derwent and Huon Rivers, ultimately merging into the vast Tasman Sea of the South Pacific Ocean.
The D’Entrecasteaux Channel is not just a geographical marvel; it holds profound cultural significance for the Nuenonne peoples, a South East indigenous population, who cherished these waters for generations.
