Description
Discover the beauty of Maria Island and cruise along the shoreline of the Ile Des Phoques island. Search for a variety of marine life like dolphins and fur seals as you sail. Visit Darlington on Maria Island where you can take a guided history tour or have some free time to hit the beach.
Meet your guide at a café in Triabunna and board a comfortable speedboat. Embark on an adventure with stunning views of Maria Island's Painted Cliffs, Fossil Cliffs, spring-fed waterfalls, limestone sea caves, and cliff-top stalactites.
Let views of the Bishop and Clerk Mountains take your breath away and take in views of the granite cliffs of Maria Island's east coast from the water. At the northern tip of Maria Island the cruise will head north to the Ile Des Phoques, a 30 minute boat ride from Maria Island.
Tuck into cakes which are provided for morning tea as well as complimentary water, tea, coffee, orange juice, soda water, soft drinks, wine and beer. Keep an eye out for albatross, dolphins, fur seals, and whales (depending on the time of year).
Savor a healthy salad bowl lunch with your choice of chicken breast, smoked salmon, roast beef, leg ham, or vegetarian/vegan options. Lunch is enjoyed on the boat while anchored in an idyllic location at Maria Island.
Dock at Darlington where you can stretch your legs and go on a guided historic tour. Choose to learn about the town’s history, and see convict buildings and resident wombats, or have free time to visit a sandy beach or swim in the waters of Maria Island’s marine reserve.
Soak up the views on the speedboat trip back to your meeting point in Triabunna.
Note: The Ile Des Phoques cruise will be changed to the Maria Island Circumnavigation cruise if poor weather conditions are experienced on the day. Ile Des Phoques is a remote island and is sometimes affected by wind and swell that prevent us from safely travelling there.
