4.5Hr Pieman River Cruise & Coastal Walk

If a low-key and crowd-free wilderness journey is what you’re after, then we highly recommend the Pieman River Cruise from the little village of Corinna. Pieman River is one of Tasmania’s perennial rivers that flows through the West Coast. One of the most sought-after ways to experience the wilderness landscapes of western Tasmania is from a river cruise.

Join the Arcadia II, the last operating Huon-pine cruiser in the world. The well-maintained vessel was listed on the Australian Register of Historic Vessels in 2009 – safe to say you’ll be cruising on a boat with a lot of character. Departing from Corrinna at 10:00am, you’ll glide down the Pieman River for a scenic cruise towards the Pieman Heads. What you’ll notice right away is the absolute stillness of the waters – creating a mirror-like image of the skies above and the waterfront flora.

The cruise runs in small groups, adding to the serenity and remoteness of your experience. While you soak up the enchanting wilderness along the Pieman, your expert skippers will enlighten you about the unique features of the region and its history through captivating commentary.

En route there’ll be plenty of time to enjoy tea, coffee, biscuits, cakes and other snacks which are included in your cruise. By 11.30am, you’ll disembark at Pieman Heads where you are handed your packed lunch to carry on your walk through the Pieman Heads community and the rugged west coast.

The return journey is just as scenic and you will get back to Corinna at 2.30pm.

The cruise operates every day during the peak season from December to March, while the departures during other times of the year are subject to weather and availability.
