Cape Raoul Cruises Day Tour From Hobart-Includes Port Arthur Historic Site
What your day looks like
This option includes return guided bus transfers from Hobart, a wilderness cruise, and around 6.5 hours at the Port Arthur Historic Site. Cape Raoul Cruises is a 90-minute wilderness cruise that goes beyond Port Arthur to take in the cliffs, caves, arche,s and white sand beaches of the Tasman Peninsula to Cape Raoul. With soaring sea cliffs and monumental rock formations, the Tasman National Park is a coastal wonderland. Here the waters of the Tasman Sea 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 Tasman National Park lies close to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Port Arthur Historic Site, where the formidable coastal terrain added to the feared reputation of the brutal penal colony. Today this historic location stands as one of Australia's premier attractions, offering a gateway to the region's natural beauty. Our local guides are excited to welcome you on our Cape Raoul Cruises, allowing you to explore this phenomenal coastline for yourself, directly from the Port Arthur Historic Site. Keep your eyes peeled skywards for wildlife including majestic albatrosses, white-bellied sea eagles, and other seabirds that soar above the coastline. Watch for dolphins that love to play in the bow wave of our boat and whales that cruise the southeastern coastline during the southern migration. This ticket also includes an entry ticket to the Port Arthur Historic Site.
