Cruise toward the mouth of the river to see the historic Iron Pot Lighthouse, one of Australia’s oldest lighthouses, standing at the entrance to Storm Bay. Along the way, listen to your guide share engaging stories about Hobart’s maritime past, including early settlers, lighthouse keepers, and dramatic shipwrecks that shaped the region’s history.
