RAINBOW RAINBOW

Hobart’s number one tour on Tripadvisor! Join East Coast Cruises on the most unforgettable day tour, cruising the famed coastline of Maria Island and Tasmania’s stunning East Coast. The comfortable shuttle bus will pick you up from your hotel in Hobart and drive you to their departure location at Triabunna. If you have your own transport, simply meet them at Triabunna and let them take you on the adventure of a lifetime.

Your tour will depart from the Triabunna marina (approximately one-hour and 15-minutes from Hobart) and includes a four-hour scenic cruise of Maria Island’s stunning coastline with a two-hour stay on the island including a gentle walk of Maria’s World Heritage-listed convict settlement.

A big buffet lunch of gourmet Tasmanian food, cheeses, juice, tea and coffee is provided onboard. Local wines (Darlington pinot noir, chardonnay, riesling, sauvignon blanc) and Tasmanian premium larger are also provided for purchase during lunch.

Choose from two alternate tours! Tour 1 – Ile Des Phoques and Tour 2 – Maria Circumnavigation is offered on alternate days. Please see the website for the dates of each tour.

Itinerary highlights

Maria Island

Maria Island National Park is a sanctuary for Tasmanian native fauna and we believe it is a dream destination for international visitors. We are constantly reminded of our tour’s unique value when visitors from overseas come face to face with dolphins, whales, fur seals, sea eagles, albatross, gannets, wombats, kangaroos, wallabies, cape barren geese and possibly a Tasmanian devil all in One Day On Maria.

Traditionally day visitors to Maria Island have caught the ferry and spent their day exploring Darlington. However, since the introduction of our tour, visitors have been able to see and explore so much more of Maria Island’s remote regions. East Coast Cruises is the only tour company on the East Coast offering full-day cruise & walk tours with a focus on local, boutique and personal service. The popularity of our One Day On Maria tour is reflected in the large number of positive online reviews. Visit our Tripadvisor listing to read our guest comments.

Maria Island Cruises

Maria Island is home to World-renowned geology, pristine beaches, protected marine habitats, mountain views and UNESCO World Heritage convict history. Maria Island is also a sanctuary for native wildlife and is a dream destination for international visitors to experience dolphins, whales, fur seals, sea eagles, albatross, gannets, wombats, kangaroos, wallabies, cape barren geese and possibly a Tasmanian devil all in one day.

Maria Island Cruises is located in the township of Triabunna (1 hour, 10 minutes from Hobart) and specialise in cruise and walk day tours to Maria Island National Park. The team operates a customised tour boat called the Spirit Of Maria that is designed to explore some of Australia’s largest sea caves. The boat has two decks providing shelter, comfort and unobstructed viewing of Maria’s enthralling marine life, unique cliff formations and giant sea caves.

The award-winning eight-hour day tour is the #1-day tour in Hobart on Tripadvisor and combines a four-hour scenic cruise of Maria Island’s stunning coastline with a two-hour walk of the island’s UNESCO convict settlement.
