Join award-winning Pennicott Wilderness Journeys on a 90-mi
nute coastal wilderness cruise from the Port Arthur Historic Site to take in the cliffs, caves, arches and white sand beaches of the Tasman Peninsula to Cape Raoul.
Marvel at the gorgeous white sands of Safety Cove and the tall dunes of Crescent Bay, tucked into the rocky and rugged coast. Enjoy panoramic views across to Cape Pillar and iconic Tasman Island. Keep an eye out for the cheeky Australian fur sales that lounge at the base of the columnar dolerite cliffs of Cape Raoul. Don’t forget to look up to witness the sheer magnitude of these 170-million-year-old cliffs, rising from the ocean’s edge over 250 metres to touch the sky.
Watch for abundant coastal wildlife including majestic albatrosses, white bellied sea eagles, dolphins and migrating whales.
The Cape Raoul Cruises vessel is a custom-built catamaran designed specifically to explore this stunning coastline.
