What to expect
You'll board a private vessel and head into the harbour's quieter reaches, passing the recognisable landmarks but experiencing them from a vantage point few tourists reach. The boat will call at islands where you can observe local fauna amongst native vegetation. The crew will share the historical context of each stop—what these islands meant to early settlers and what they mean now. Morning tea arrives partway through, a chance to settle in and absorb the working harbour around you. Expect gentle cruising rather than thrill-seeking; the focus is observation and discovery.
