Things To Do Port Arthur, Tasman, Tasmania
Adventure and Outdoors Tours
Explore the Spectacular Coastline from Port Arthur Historic Site to Cape Raoul on Pennicott Wilderness Journeys’ Cape Raoul Cruise.
With soaring sea cliffs and monumental rock formations, Tasman National Park is a coastal wonderland. Here the waters of the Southern Ocean 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 borders 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.
