Pennicott: Cape Raoul Cruises

This 90- minute wilderness cruise explores the spectacular coastline from Port Arthur Historic Site to Cape Raoul. Go beyond Port Arthur to take in the cliffs, caves, arches and white sand beaches of the Tasman Peninsula to Cape Raoul. View soaring sea cliffs and monumental rock formations, the Tasman National Park is a coastal wonderland. Cruise past significant sites like Point Puer and Isle of the Dead and marvel at the white sands of Safety Cove and the tall dunes of Crescent Bay. Enjoy panoramic views across to Cape Pillar and iconic Tasman Island.

Keep an eye out for the cheeky Australian fur seals that lounge at the base of the columnar dolerite cliffs of Cape Raoul. Look up to witness the sheer magnitude of these 170-million-year-old cliffs, rising from the ocean’s edge, over 250 metres. Spot birdlife, including the majestic albatross, white bellied sea eagles and other seabirds and keep an eye out for playful dolphins and whales that cruise the southeastern coastline during the southern migration.
