Enjoy your experience! ----- Spend a day on the Tasman Peninsula for an award-winning 3 hr wilderness cruise. Your journey departs from Franklin Wharf at 7:45 am, arriving on the Tasman Peninsula just in time for morning tea at 9:15 am. Both morning tea and lunch are served at local restaurants in the area. Then, it's time for the unforgettable 3 hr wilderness cruise along the spectacular coastline between Port Arthur and Eaglehawk Neck in southern Tasmania. The cruise travels beneath the highest vertical sea cliffs in the Southern Hemisphere at Cape Pillar. You'll explore waterfalls, rock formations, archways and deep-sea caves. The coastline is part of the Tasman National Park. It is home to various wildlife, including hundreds of seals, migrating whales and abundant sea birds in their thousands. At any time of year, you're likely to see the feeding frenzy of diving gannets, albatross and sea eagles wheeling on the wind, cliff-nesting cormorants and peregrine falcons, or a pod of playful dolphins surfing the bow wave of the boat. The custom-built yellow boats are ideal for viewing the spectacular coastline and wildlife of the Tasman Peninsula. Each vessel holds a maximum of 43 guests. Covered open-air tiered seating means an excellent all-around view and connection with the environment. The boats are safe, comfortable and gentle on the environment due to their fuel efficiency and low emission operation. Your cruise concludes at 1:00 pm, after which you'll enjoy lunch and local sightseeing, before departing at 4:30 pm for the return trip to Hobart.
