1 to 4 hours
This is a fast-paced wilderness cruise along the rugged Tasman Peninsula coastline, departing from Port Arthur. Over three hours on the water, you’ll travel between Eaglehawk Neck and Port Arthur to see towering sea cliffs, deep sea caves and the kind of coastline that’s hard to appreciate properly from land. Wildlife sightings can include seals, dolphins, sea eagles and albatross. A local guide is included, and waterproof outerwear is provided, which matters given the exposed conditions.
Why backpackers love it
If you’re already visiting Port Arthur, this is a straightforward way to add a big scenery day without organising extra transport on the peninsula. It’s not a cheap activity, but you are paying for a proper wildlife and coastal sightseeing trip rather than a basic harbour cruise. It also suits short stays well: the logistics are organised, the departure is regular, and in a few hours you get cliffs, caves and a decent chance of spotting marine life.
You’ll need to arrive by 9:15am for a briefing before a short bus transfer to the boat. Once underway, the cruise follows the dramatic coastline, with the guide pointing out major natural features and wildlife along the way. The route includes the highest vertical sea cliffs in the Southern Hemisphere and close-up access into deep sea caves, depending on conditions. The trip runs year-round in all weather, so expect a real open-water experience and dress for the conditions, even with the supplied jacket.
