Your nature and wildlife coastal adventure will bring you closer to the natural beauties and creatures of Tasmania. Your experience covers many aspects including:

The marine environment – which is so rich in nutrients, the waters of the Tasman National Park are one of the few places in Australia where such an abundance of wildlife, including rare and endangered species can be seen. See some of the magnificent creatures with which we share our planet; seals, dolphins, whales, albatross, penguins, sea eagles and so much more. Australian and NZ fur seals work, rest and play for the majority of their year on the 'haul outs' of Cape Hauy, Cape Pillar and Tasman Island. The tour also encompasses the migratory path of the humpback and southern right whales.
Tasman Island (a lightstation) - which is steeped in natural and human history. Craig (Skipper) is the son of one of Tasmania's last kerosene light keepers, and has first hand experience living on several light stations.
Seacaves and Seacliffs -Hold onto your hats as the skippers manoeuvre the Encounter within touching distance of towering seacliffs (reaching 300m, the highest in Australia) and magnificent seacaves. One of the formations we call 'The Hole in the Rock' can be passed through in good conditions at high speed!
