About this activity

Explore the Spectacular Coastline from Port Arthur Historic Site to Cape Raoul

With soaring sea cliffs and monumental rock formations, Tasman National Park is a coastal wonderland. Here the waters of the Southern Ocean 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.

Keep an eye out for the cheeky Australian and long nose fur seals that lounge at the base of the dolerite columnar cliffs of Cape Raoul. Look up to witness the sheer magnitude of these 170-million-year-old cliffs, rising from the oceans edge to touch the sky.

Your Cape Raoul Cruises Day Tour also includes return bus transport from Hobart and entry to Port Arthur Historic Site.
