Embark on a breathtaking 90-minute Cape Raoul Cruise that departs from the Port Arthur Historic Site and explores the stunning coastline of the Tasman Peninsula. This scenic wilderness cruise takes you past towering sea cliffs, dramatic caves, natural arches, and remote white sand beaches, culminating at the iconic dolerite columns of Cape Raoul. As you cruise through the Tasman National Park, you’ll witness the raw power of nature where the ocean meets ancient rock formations, creating a truly unforgettable seascape.
Along the way, enjoy the chance to encounter an array of wildlife, including seals basking on the rocks, playful dolphins riding the boat’s bow wave, and soaring seabirds like albatrosses and sea eagles. During whale migration season, you may even spot these majestic creatures cruising along the southeastern coast. The experience also includes entry to the Port Arthur Historic Site, allowing you to explore one of Australia’s most significant heritage landmarks before or after your cruise. With expert commentary from local guides, this is an ideal combination of natural beauty and cultural history.
