Largely National Park, the Tasman Peninsula is home to some of Tasmania’s most renowned and spectacular historic sites, wildlife, and native vegetation. With the Tasman Sea to the East and Storm Bay to the West, we encounter spectacular dolerite cliffs, beautiful sandy beaches and numerous sheltered bays, making it an ideal paddling destination. All this only an hours drive from the Hobart. Using the homely yet luxurious Convict Station B&B as our base, we set out to explore the diversity of the Peninsulas’ cultural and natural landscapes.

Cruising back along the coast, we’ll pause by a semi-submerged shipwreck, and then it’s all eyes homeward as we head back to base. Dinner: Eagle Hawk Neck Cafe
