About This Experience

The 10-Hour Tasman Island Day Tour + Devil Unzoo is a full-day guided coastal and wildlife adventure tour departing from Hobart. Curated for travellers wanting to experience the rugged natural beauty and unique fauna of the Tasman Peninsula in a single day, this tour combines a 3-hour eco-wilderness cruise with an afternoon visit to the Tasmanian Devil Unzoo, inclusive of morning tea, restaurant lunch and return coach transport. 

Towering Coastal Cliffs & Wildlife Encounters
Your day starts with a scenic coach drive from Hobart out to the Tasman Peninsula, winding through rolling countryside toward the coast. After stopping for morning tea at a local spot, you’ll step aboard a custom-built, open-air vessel designed specifically for Southern Ocean coastal conditions. Tiered, forward-facing seating beneath an overhead canopy gives you wide-open views of the dramatic coastline without feeling enclosed behind glass.

Over the next three hours, you'll cruise along the spectacular shore between Eaglehawk Neck and Port Arthur. You'll travel right beneath some of the Southern Hemisphere’s highest vertical sea cliffs, exploring deep ocean caves, natural rock arches, and tumbling waterfalls. 

Keep a lookout for native marine life along the way—it's common to spot Australian fur seals resting on rocky ledges, pods of dolphins riding the boat's bow wave, pelagic seabirds, and migrating whales in season. Guides onboard share continuous insights into the peninsula's rich geology and coastal wildlife throughout the voyage.

Back on dry land, enjoy a relaxing sit-down lunch at a local restaurant before heading to the nearby Tasmanian Devil Unzoo. Unlike traditional zoos, this uncaged conservation park allows native animals to move freely through natural bushland habitats. Spend the afternoon watching Tasmanian devils, meeting free-roaming wildlife, and learning about local protection efforts before relaxing on the comfortable coach ride back to Hobart.

Who Is This Cruise Best Suited For?
This full-day experience is ideal for nature lovers, eco-tourists and families seeking an active day out focused on wildlife and coastal scenery. It is particularly well suited for visitors who prefer to be nature over historical site visits, as there is an engaging balance of marine exploration and uncaged animal encounters.
