What to expect
Tasman Island Cruises provide three-hour coastal wilderness cruises along the unspoiled coastline of the Tasman National Park between Port Arthur and Eaglehawk Neck in southern Tasmania.
On the 3 Hour Wilderness Cruise you will sit at the foot of the highest sea cliffs in the Southern Hemisphere including the spectacular dolerite cliffs at Cape Pillar, marvel at the towering sea stacks such as Cathedral Rock, the Totem Pole, and Candlestick, and glide in and out of sea caves witnessing the erosive power of Mother Nature. A major highlight of your experience will be Tasman Island, one of the great landmarks of the Southern Ocean, an iconic turning point for Sydney to Hobart yachts persons.
The distinctive yellow boats are purpose-built for the rugged coast of southern Tasmania. Their unmatched maneuverability gets us closer to cliff faces and into deep-sea caves. The team at Tasman Island Cruises is dedicated to providing world-class customer service. Your enjoyment and safety are paramount to them.
