Lutruwita / Tasmania presents a truly unique destination for business events. It allows you to craft an event that gives your delegates the comforts and conveniences found in major cities while also allow them the opportunity to find solitude and adventure in nature without needing to travel far.

Below we have listed a collection of experiences that can be perfectly incorporated into business events hosted in some of Tasmania’s major cities.

Tasmanian Wild Seafood Adventures

Imagine a gentle sea breeze, the scent of salt in the air, and the thrill of embarking on a half-day cruise that offers a unique blend of nature, culture, and culinary excellence.

Well, that’s exactly what Tasmanian Wild Seafood Adventures has to offer.

Aboard their luxury cruise vessel – which houses an interactive cook station, comfortable indoor lounge, and spacious outdoor viewing platforms – is where delegates can enjoy some of the freshest, tastiest wild seafood in the world.

Boarding takes place from the Hobart Waterfront before embarking on a spectacular journey down the River Derwent, into Bruny Island and the D’Entrecasteaux Channel.

Cruising at a leisurely pace past towering sea cliffs and secluded sandy beaches, guests onboard Cuttlefish can take the time to enjoy the scenery and look out for marine life.

Meanwhile, experienced divers will harvest periwinkles and sea urchins to be prepared by the onboard chef and the expert crew, alongside fresh abalone, rock lobster, oysters, mussels, and salmon – all sourced from Tasmania’s pristine waters.

 

 

Pennicott Wilderness Journeys

Robert Pennicott and his team of local guides have been sharing our island with visitors since 1999.

The multiple award-winning Pennicott Wilderness Journeys operates touring experiences that share the beauty of Lutruwita / Tasmania, allowing delegates the opportunity to experience close encounters with wildlife and explore spectacular national park coastlines aboard custom-built yellow boats.

Not only do their tours showcase the wonders of the southern side of the island, their Freycinet Aqua Express also provides an opportunity for visitors to explore the east coast’s gem – the world-renowned Wineglass Bay.

Traditionally, accessing this iconic spot would require you to take the demanding 3km Wineglass Bay Lookout Walk, complete with over 1,300 steep stairs one way. However, with Pennicott’s Freycinet Aqua Express, guests can tailor their visit with ease – enjoy a return coastal transfer paired with a gentle bushwalk, or opt for a one-way journey to dive into the area’s exceptional hiking trails.
