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.

We really enjoyed today. We thought it will rain hard and will really get wet. Our guide and boat captain were very much accomodating and ensured that we are all well. Exquisite views, good food and very friendly guide. Highly recommended!

Frequently asked questions

What can I do if I’m prone to seasickness?

The crew has practical ways to make the three-hour open-ocean cruise more comfortable. Ginger tablets are offered when you board, and the back third of the boat usually has less movement. If you normally use motion-sickness medication, follow its directions or check with a pharmacist before travel.

What wildlife might I see on the cruise?

Seals and seabirds are commonly seen along this wild coastline, with dolphins and migrating whales also possible at the right time. Wildlife is free-ranging, so no particular species or sighting can be guaranteed. The towering cliffs, caves and waterfalls remain a highlight whatever appears on the day.

Is there a toilet on the boat?

Yes, there is a small marine toilet on board, so you will have facilities during the three-hour cruise. It is below deck and reached by four steps, and the skipper may pause access in rough conditions. We recommend using the accessible toilet at the Port Arthur booking centre before boarding.

What will I see during the wildlife park visit?

The afternoon visit focuses on Tasmania’s native animals, especially the Tasmanian devil. You will have about one hour and 45 minutes, with opportunities to see devil habitats and enjoy the regular wildlife presentations running during your visit. Much of the wildlife moves through natural bushland, so every visit can feel a little different.

Does this tour include entry to the Port Arthur Historic Site?

This tour gives you a dedicated afternoon visit to the wildlife park rather than entry to the Port Arthur Historic Site. Port Arthur is nearby, but admission and time to explore the historic site are not included. If Port Arthur is your priority, the cruise-and-Port Arthur version is the better match.

Can children join this tour?

Yes, children are welcome on the cruise, and families often enjoy the wildlife, towering cliffs and sea caves. The boat portion lasts about three hours and the day runs from early morning to around 6:00 pm, so it is best for children who are comfortable with a long day and open-water travel.

Is this tour suitable for travellers with limited mobility or a wheelchair?

Travellers who can manage steps with assistance may still be able to join, but the experience is not step-free. The tour buses are not wheelchair accessible, although standard collapsible wheelchairs and walkers can be stored, and boat boarding varies by the jetty used that day. The onboard toilet is below deck, so the tour is not suitable for anyone who requires fully wheelchair-accessible transport and facilities.
