Back to Itineraries in Tasmania
From Hobart to Hobart
7 Days, 270 Miles
A cruising itinerary unlike any other you will encounter in Australia can be found in the southerly island state of Tasmania, home to rich wildlife-filled National Parks, excellent dive sites and charming towns seemingly lost in the past. Pair these wonderful sites of discovery with friendly locals and wonderful cruising conditions and a one-week adventure in this part of the world just may not seem long enough.
- Day 1Hobart
Begin your journey from the State’s capital of Hobart, a dainty and picturesque city that bases its laid-back lifestyle around the historic harbour that marks its landscape. Spend the day exploring the many delights of the town and enjoy a seafood feast in one of the excellent restaurants by night.
- Day 225 MilesKettering
Depart Hobart today and head up the D’Entrecasteaux Channel. If you’re a fan of fishing, drop anchor and drop a line into one of the region’s best fishing spots for flathead, perch, and cod while salmon, mackerel, warehou and squid can also be caught depending on the season. Your destination is Kettering, a small fishing town renowned as a haven for yachtsmen exploring the D’Entrecasteaux Channel. Here you will find good marina facilities and delicious restaurants for the evening. The trip from Hobart to Kettering will take you about 2 and a half hours without stopping.

Depart early for the historic settlement of Port Arthur, paying s visit to Tasman Island along the way. Tasman Island is another excellent fishing spot and, as part of a National Park, offers excellent chances to see plenty of wildlife, pristine waterfalls, hidden caves and clear waters. Port Arthur is a wonderfully preserved convict settlement which offers a glimpse into a genuine piece of Australia’s past. Stroll the charming town taking in the sprawling gardens and old prisons during the day while at night why not take part in an onshore ghost tour.

A three-hour journey from Port Arthur lies the remarkable diving site of Pirates Bay with its brilliant underwater cliffs, rich invertebrate life, and temperate waters. Suitable for all levels of experience, the area is amongst the county’s best underwater sites and offers a different experience to that offered amongst the tropical far north including the Great Barrier Reef.

Cruising for about three hours will bring you to the National Park of Maria Island in Riedle Bay. A true nature paradise, there are no cars or shops on Maria Island and visitors instead revel in the amazing bushwalks and active wildlife. Try climbing to the cliff-tops on the challenging Bishop and Clark or take the less strenuous walk to the Painted Cliffs and Fossil Cliffs where you can find marine life sediments over 300 million years old. The island is also an ideal place for coming face to face with endangered geese, kangaroos, and wombats.

One of the highlights of your trip arrives today as Wineglass bay looms in the distance, about a four and a half hour sail away. The area is home to one of Australia’s most photographed beaches which can be found in Freycinet National park which also boasts excellent walks and is a great spot to indulge in a swim, fish, snorkel or dive. Activities abound in this picturesque area from abseiling and four-wheel driving to surfing, kayaking and dolphin watching so there is more than enough to keep you occupied.
