Tasmania's untouched coastline reveals Port Davey's dramatic fjords, Freycinet's pristine beaches, Maria Island's history, and Australia's most remote wilderness.

Highlights

• Hike, kayak, paddle, or swim in Tasmania’s wild seascapes.

• Unwind with beach strolls, stargazing, or quiet deckside reading.

• Taste oysters, cheeses, wines & enjoy sunset BBQs on deck.

• Time to explore at your own pace

Day 1: Depart Hobart | Nipaluna

Board Coral Discoverer in Hobart and toast the adventure ahead with sparkling wine and canapés as we depart the harbour. Relax on deck with upbeat tunes, meet your fellow travellers, or take in the city skyline as Tasmania’s spectacular coastline unfolds.

Bruny Island | Lunawanna‑allonah

Spend the day exploring Bruny Island. Choose from guided hikes to Fluted Cape or Grass Point, self‑guided beach walks, or try kayaking and paddleboarding in sheltered bays. As evening falls, enjoy a Tasmanian small‑plates dinner before stargazing on deck.

Maria Island | Wukaluwikiwayna

Step ashore on Maria Island, where wombats roam freely. Explore Fossil Cliffs, follow the Reservoir Circuit, and discover Darlington’s convict past. Cool off with a swim before returning for a relaxed sunset BBQ on the Sun Deck.

Freycinet National Park | Puthimiluna

Wake up surrounded by Freycinet’s iconic pink granite peaks. Walk to Wineglass Bay lookout or along Isthmus Track, swim in turquoise bays, and enjoy sunset cruising past seal colonies before a dinner celebrating Tasmanian local produce.

Port Davey | Poynduc

Melaleuca and Clayton’s Corner

Today, we venture into one of Australia’s most remote and untouched wilderness areas. Accessible only by sea, air, or an extended hike. Choose to explore Melaleuca, home to the endangered orange-bellied parrot and the Deny King Museum, or head ashore to Clayton’s Corner, where you can walk in the footsteps of early pioneers.

Port Davey | Poynduc

Bramble Cove & Breaksea Islands

Our final day of exploration. Paddle Bramble Cove’s pristine waters or hike to Mount Milner for panoramic views. Alternatively, cruise to Breaksea Island to explore rugged beaches and seabird colonies. As we sail past the dramatic cliffs of Maatsuyker Island and Australia’s southernmost lighthouse, raise a glass and reflect on a journey well spent.

Day 7: Arrive Hobart

Arrive back in Hobart in time for breakfast and final farewells. Disembarkation at 8:00am.

Arrival location will be at either Macquarie Wharf or Princes Wharf, with the confirmed location advised seven days prior to sailing.

Please note:

Embrace the unexpected - it's part of the adventure. This itinerary is a guide. We adjust plans based on weather, tides, wildlife, and opportunities we encounter. Remote communities may be unavailable due to local customs. Flexibility makes expeditions special.
