Taste Tasmania’s famous premium gold lip oysters, harvested fresh straight from the cool, pristine marine waters right in front of you. Enjoy a succulent seafood lunch paired with local Tasmanian wine or cider while taking in the serene coastal views. Arrive at the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Port Arthur Historic Site for a full afternoon of discovery. Board the cruise vessel for an immersive journey around the harbor.

Next, gear up for the spectacular 1.5-hour Cape Raoul Wilderness Cruise, where you will marvel at towering vertical cliffs, deep sea caves, and local marine wildlife. Spend the rest of your time walking among the beautifully preserved sandstone ruins.
