Tasmanian Coastal Discovery

Arrive at the assigned check-in point by 4:00 pm, board the ship, and get settled in your stateroom before the 5:00 pm departure. Look over Coral Discoverer’s key facilities, then meet other guests, the Captain, and the crew during the Captain’s Welcome Drinks.

Bruny Island
Explore Bruny Island as you follow the track toward Fluted Cape and scan the cliffs for Bennett’s wallabies. Learn about the area’s whaling industry at Adventure Bay and check out the remaining structures near former station sites, including the path to Grass Point.

Maria Island
Experience Maria Island’s wildlife refuge, home to wombats, pademelons, Cape Barren geese, and Forester kangaroos. Walk through Darlington’s convict-era buildings, see the Painted Cliffs, and choose the Fossil Cliffs route or the Reservoir circuit for a focused look at the island’s natural features.

Freycinet National Park
Head into Freycinet to view the Hazards and follow the Isthmus Track to the Wineglass Bay overlook. Spend time on Schouten Island afterward for a quiet shoreline walk or relaxed exploration.

Port Davey and Bathurst Harbor
Enter the remote World Heritage region of Port Davey and Bathurst Harbor. Spend time hiking rugged terrain, kayaking sheltered channels, riding in Xplorer tenders, and watching for rare species, including the orange-bellied parrot.

D’Entrecasteaux Channel
Move into the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, known for local produce and craft beverages. Meet a regional maker for tastings, tour the Wooden Boat Centre in Franklin on the Huon River, and walk coastal routes around Recherche Bay or the Labillardiere Peninsula.

Port Arthur
Explore Port Arthur, a UNESCO site tied to Australia’s convict history. Join guided walks through more than 30 buildings, ruins, and restored homes, gaining clear insight into life at the settlement.

Tasman Peninsula
Cruise along the tall cliffs of Cape Raoul and Cape Pillar. Walk parts of the Tasman Trail and watch for fur seals, albatross, and dolphins along the coastline.

The Tasmania adventure concludes in Hobart this morning as you bid farewell to new-found friends, the Master and crew, disembarking at 8:00am. A complimentary transfer is provided to CBD hotels, or the airport is included.
