Tasman Island Adventure Cruises

Tasmania´s ¨BEST VALUE ADVENTURE CRUISE FOR 2012¨


We operate the AWARD WINNING Tasman Island Cruise from Port Arthur, Eaglehawk Neck and Hobart.


Experience the exhilaration of TASMAN ISLAND´s NEWEST VESSEL affectionately called the ULTIMATE 4Wd of the sea!


Settle in to armchair comfort as you depart PIRATES BAY for your 3 Hour Wilderness Adventure.


Experience numerous interactions with AUSTRALIAN and NEW ZEALAND FUR SEALS, ALBATROSS and DOLPHINS.


Throughout this wildlife experience we showcase Australia´s WILDEST, LIVINGcoastline.


Continuing the adventure, TOTEM POLE, BREATHING ROCK, Dumpy Doo´s Curse, CAPE HUAY and CANDLE STICK are all true natural wonders.


Enter SEA CAVERNS that have been hewn out of the cliffs over millions of years by the relentless action of tides and wave action.


View the TALLEST SEA CLIFFS in the Southern Hemisphere - 300 meters rising vertically from the depths of the ocean.


Then finally, the Wild and Rugged, TASMAN ISLAND.


With its lighthouse perched high above its foreboding and timeless cliffs it is a stark reminder of those days of the early Lighthouse keepers in their quest to keep these water safe for mariners.


Your skipper Craig Parsey, describes what life was like as a lighthouse keeper in yesteryear.


He should know – As a boy, his father manned this lighthouse.


After circumnavigating TASMAN ISLAND we now return to PIRATES BAY a little further to sea and take the opportunity of viewing the remarkable daily FEEDING FRENZIES, common with SEALS, DOLPHINS and BIRDLIFE in this marine kaleidoscope of SEALIFE.


WHALES are often seen on the return so don’t be surprised if our Crew get a little overly excited about all this!!


You can now understand why this part of the world and our Tasman Island Cruises are rapidly becoming the most talked about Cruise Adventure of a lifetime. Just ask Oprah!


Arrive back at Pirates bay and our crew farewells all and hope you come back once again like many others have done before!
