Hobart Maria Island National Park with Nature & Wildlife Adventure
Just an hour’s drive east from Hobart plus a 30 minute ferry ride, Maria Island keeps its own time, far from the demands of modern life.
As soon as you step off the boat you’ll notice the quietness, the wildness, the sense of history. Maria Island is home to vast numbers of wombats, wallabies, Cape Barren Geese and Tasmanian Devils.
Explore the world heritage listed Darlington settlement, a beautifully preserved probational convict camp. Walk with us to the Painted Cliffs, an easy 4.5km round trip, seeing surreal sandstone formations. Finish with the Fossil Cliffs walk, another easy 4.5km circuit, with 300 million year old fossils.
Along the way, play in the rockpools, relax on the beach, spot local wildlife and take photos of the stunning scenery, proving it wasn’t all just a dream.
