This 4-night expedition cruise takes you deep into the pristine coastal wilderness of Tasmania’s remote south west. This Wilderness World Heritage-listed area is inaccessible by road and only experienced by a privileged few each year.
Expeditions are based from a ‘floating boutique hotel’, the Odalisque, a brand-new custom-built vessel with just six cabins. Guests are entertained by an all-star crew, including skipper, host, chef & guide.
Our specialist chefs (borrowed from Hobart’s top restaurants) provide top-notch Tasmanian fare, all paired with fine Tasmanian wine. Our hand-picked expert guides (with years of experience in the area) double as personal walking encyclopaedias.
Daily shore excursions, tailored to your interests, will see you totally immersed in the wilderness. It’s all about “getting your feet wet” (as skipper & founder Pieter van der Woude regularly says). During your unforgettable time with us, you’ll explore narrow winding waterways lined with Huon pine, hike to mountain-top vantage points where it feels like you can see over the edge of the world, picnic on remote beaches and soak up the serene views from the Odalisque’s deck as you cruise past sea caves, blowholes and rocky islets.
Highlights
• Explore a World Heritage-listed wilderness area inaccessible by road and only experienced by a privileged few each year
• See the calm, reflective waters of Bathurst Harbour, ringed by tannin-stained tributaries, quartzite peaks, ancient rainforests and buttongrass plains
• Cruise the impossibly rocky coastline of Port Davey, protected by wave-battered islands and harbouring isolated beaches kissed by the wild Southern Ocean
• Head into the wilds each day on tender and shore excursions led by local experts – then retire to the lavish comforts of a floating boutique lodge complete with fine Tasmanian fare and wine
