What to expect

Set out on an unforgettable cruise along the wild coastline of Tasman National Park. Glide beneath Cape Pillar’s towering sea cliffs, the tallest in the Southern Hemisphere, and marvel at waterfalls, dramatic archways, and hidden sea caves carved by the ocean. Your vessel is designed with covered, open-air tiered seating, offering uninterrupted views and a true connection with the marine environment.

This region teems with wildlife. Watch fur seals basking on the rocks, spot pods of dolphins surfing the bow waves, and during migration season, witness majestic whales passing by. Above, the skies are alive with seabirds — from gannets diving in feeding frenzies to soaring albatross, sea eagles, and cliff-nesting peregrine falcons. Every moment promises a spectacular encounter with Tasmania’s raw coastal wilderness.

The shuttle picked us up on time and the boat adventure was wonderful – exciting, beautiful, and fun. I was also very grateful to our driver for being so accommodating. The highlight of my trip was to get to feed and pet the roos!

This was an excellent and very enjoyable tour! Everyone, from the lady’s in the office, to Phil our Driver, were amazing. If you want an exciting way to see Tasmanias beautiful aqua life, then the cruise is the best way to do it and to get dropped off at the foot of Port Arthur was a even better. And what a way to end a day with a tour of the historical site, which is beautiful in its own right. Would highly highly recommend!
