From the estuary with the distinctive Old Iron Pot Lighthouse and busy recreational and shipping traffic, to the peaceful and picturesque waters further north, this river is an intrinsic part of the city of Hobart and the lifeblood of the Derwent Valley. The river offers the visitor a unique way to see attractions such as Incat Catamaran Company,Cadbury's Chocolate Factory andMoorilla Vineyard. TheCruise Company offers excellent combination cruise/attraction tours. Further north there are lovely riverside picnic spots, opportunities for a gentle introduction to white water rafting and along the river's length the fishing is excellent.

Royal Hobart Regatta
Feb 6th, 2010 to Feb 8th, 2010
Royal Hobart Regatta celebrates Australia's oldest public holiday, an annual event since 1840. Early colonists appreciated that Hobart's setting provided an opportunity to celebrate the sea and the tradition still lives on strongly. The public holiday is the culmination of three days of races and other water activities held on the Derwent River. Yachts, motor boats and ferries all participate. Vantage points all around the river provide good viewing. There is a large family oriented fun fair held on Regatta Point in conjunction with the aquatic activities. A spectacular fireworks display concludes the festivities.
