Maria Island Cruise and Guided Walk Day Tour with Lunch and Drinks

Hobart: Maria Island National Park, Nature & Wildlife active tour

This 10-hour active day tour takes you to Maria Island National Park off Tasmania's east coast, where you'll walk car-free trails across a landscape shaped by geology and convict history. Hike at least 10km to the Painted Cliffs—sandstone carved into intricate patterns by tidal forces over millennia—then push on to the Fossil Cliffs, where ancient marine fossils line sheer rock faces overlooking Freycinet Peninsula. You'll also explore Darlington, a remarkably intact convict probation settlement that predates Port Arthur. Small groups and professional guides keep the experience intimate and informative.
