Tasman National Park & Cruises
Tasman National Park protects the raw, spectacular coast of the peninsula — towering dolerite sea cliffs, deep-cut headlands and coastal forest, among the tallest sea cliffs in the southern hemisphere. Explore on foot via lookouts and walks, or take to the water on a wildlife cruise that runs below the cliffs past sea caves, fur seals and sea birds. Add the Tasmanian Devil Unzoo for a closer look at the peninsula’s wildlife. Cruises are weather-dependent and enquiry-based — book ahead.
