A dedicated wildlife and ecosystem boat cruise exploring the sheltered waters of Wineglass Bay and the Freycinet Peninsula, led by a marine ecologist. Encounter dolphins, fur seals, sea eagles and the remarkable marine biodiversity of this UNESCO-calibre coastline.
What to expect
The vessel departs Coles Bay and heads south along the peninsula toward Wineglass Bay, passing sheer granite walls alive with nesting sea eagles and cormorants. Common dolphins regularly join the bow in pods of 20 or more, while Australian fur seals haul out on rocky platforms just metres away. Your ecologist guide explains the bay's extraordinary water quality and the kelp forest ecosystem below. The journey concludes with a sunset tasting of local Tasmanian oysters and sparkling wine on deck.
Good to know
Runs approximately 2–2.5 hours; best booked for late morning departures to align with dolphin activity. Small vessel of 10–12 passengers maximum. Book directly; highly sought after in summer cruise season.
