Highlights

  • Cruise along the Australia's highest sea cliffs

What's included?

  • Three hour award winning wilderness cruise
  • Photo opportunities
  • Friendly crew

The cruise travels beneath the highest vertical sea cliffs in the Southern Hemisphere at Cape Pillar. Guests explore waterfalls, rock formations, archways and deep sea caves. The coastline is part of the Tasman National Park. It is home to a variety of wildlife including hundreds of seals, migrating whales and abundant sea birds in their thousands. At any time of year you're likely to see the feeding frenzy of diving gannets, albatross and sea eagles wheeling on the wind, cliff nesting cormorants and peregrine falcons, or a pod of playful dolphins surfing the bow wave of the boat.

The custom built yellow boats are ideal for viewing the spectacular coastline and wildlife of the Tasman Peninsula. Each vessel holds a maximum of 43 guests. Covered open air tiered seating means an excellent all round view and connection with the environment. The boats are safe, comfortable and gentle on the environment due to their fuel efficiency and low emission operation. This experience is part of the Responsible range because they are ECO certified by Ecotourism Australia.

Nature at its finest!

Jonathan 3 April 2025

If you enjoy nature, this is a cruise not to be missed. You will be taken out to the open seas to witness sea and air creatures in their elements - you just need a keen eye and hopefully spot them. The crew were professional, entertaining and humorous as well, especially when you are on the boat with them for 2.5hrs! You get to see up-close caves, rock formation, more rock formations, seals, dolphins, whales (maybe if you are lucky), sea birds, albatross (again, if you are lucky) and the lighthouse on Tasman Island. The boat travels fast, with bumps over the waves, so you might get a little wet (but they do give you a raincoat). Worth the experience!

Spectacular Geology & Wildlife

Andrew 6 July 2024

An amazing trip that allows you to view some of the tallest sea cliffs in Australia. The Jurassic dolerite columns rival the Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland. We were fortunate enough to see plenty of wildlife, including bottlenose dolphins, New Zealand fur seals, a couple of whales and a variety of sea birds including albatross, cormorants and gannets.

An incredible experience for all

Becky 5 March 2024

I absolutely loved this tour. From the time we checked in to the end, everyone was so kind and lovely. To see how passionate the tour guides were about the ocean and history was a joy. The amount of beautiful seals we saw was astounding. Will do it again!!

It would've been a fantastic day out and five star

Mitch 21 February 2024

Staff at the office and the skipper were fabulous. The trip is worth considering. I managed to be blessed with fantastic weather and did the whole trip to the southern tip. Now unfortunately some chump didn't carry with him his emergency gear and the skipper decided to tow him all the way back to the Jetty. that means better part of at least an hour lost. I get helping ppl out but to tow all the way back to the jetty ie starting point with a couple of dozen ppl on board paying fair fee for the trip makes absolutely no sense to me.
