DESCRIPTION
Cape Raoul Cruises is a 90-minute wilderness cruise which goes beyond Port Arthur to take in the cliffs, caves, arches 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, giving you the opportunity 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.
Note – a Port Arthur Historic Site Entry Ticket is required to join Cape Raoul Cruises. This tour option does not include the cost of Port Arthur Historic Site Entry and this must be purchased separately.
