Deep-to-Dish: Tasmanian Seafood Experience

About this tour

Watch Tasmanian divers pull live seafood straight from the ocean, then sit down to eat it. This four-and-a-half-hour charter combines the working side of commercial fishing with a genuine feast of local catch—rock lobster, oysters, mussels, urchin, abalone and more—paired with regional wine, beer and cheese. You'll see the skill that goes into harvesting, understand where your food comes from, and taste it at its freshest.

What to expect

You'll board a charter vessel and head to working fishing grounds where experienced divers demonstrate the harvesting process—no theatre, just the real job. Once they've collected the day's catch, you move to a comfortable eating space where everything is prepared and plated. Expect to spend a couple of hours eating, talking and drinking while the crew explains what you're tasting and how it was caught. The pace is leisurely; this isn't rushed.

Good to know

Minimum four adults required to depart; smaller groups can join a waitlist. Public transport is available nearby. The experience suits all ability levels. Prams are welcome for young children and service animals are permitted.
