About this activity

Explore the spectacular coastline from Port Arthur Historic Site to Cape Raoul.

With soaring sea cliffs and monumental rock formations, the Tasman National Park is a coastal wonderland. Here the waters of the Tasman Sea collide with the towering ancient cliffs of the Tasman Peninsula, creating dramatic caves and arches, ending spectacularly at Cape Raoul, its dolerite columns like steps down into the ocean waters.

The 90 minute wilderness cruise goes beyond the Port Arthur Historic Site to take in the cliffs, caves, arches and white sand beaches of the Tasman Peninsula to Cape Raoul. Cruise past significant historical sites like Point Puer and Isle of the Dead before marvelling at the gorgeous white sands of Safety Cove, and the tall dunes of Crescent Bay. Mt Brown provides a stunning backdrop as we cruise to Cape Raoul. Keep an eye out for the cheeky Australia fur seals that lounge at the base of the Cape Raoul.

Your ticket includes entry to the Port Arthur Historic Site.
