Tasman Peninsula Ultimate

塔斯曼半岛尊享版

from AUD $320

THE EXPERIENCE

The Ultimate tour swaps the sheltered Cape Raoul cruise for the real thing — a 3-hour open-water expedition from Port Arthur around Cape Pillar and the full circumference of Tasman Island. The cliffs at Cape Pillar are the highest sea cliffs in the southern hemisphere; the cruise route passes through what locals call the Sea Monument Valley, where 300-metre dolerite columns rise straight from the open ocean. This is for guests who came to Tasmania to be moved by it.

Highlights

01
