Vi fortsætter vores vandretur til Fossil Cliffs, som falder helt til havet, deres ansigter fyldt med gammelt marint liv og med omfattende udsigt over Freycinet halvøen. Vi udforsker Darlington, en af verdens bedst bevarede indsatte prøvetid bosættelser, før Port Arthur og hver bit så overbevisende. • Udforsk Maria Island National Park på vores aktive dagstur • Vandring til de malede klipper og udforske de usædvanlige klippeformationer, vandring til fossile klipper og opdage den geologiske historie i de eksponerede fossiler • Oplev fangerhistorien på Darlington World Heritage fanger site

Med en bred vifte af højdepunkter tager vores aktive dagstur det hele ind! Maria Island ligger kun 30 minutters færgetur fra Triabunna, men det føles som en verden væk. Blot en times kørsel fra Hobart til færgen og 30 minutter over vandet bringer os til Maria Island - en fantastisk nationalpark på øen. En ø, fra en ø, fra en ø!
Dette er en tur for den aktive rejsende, der er ivrig efter at gå og nyde denne unikke ø. Der er ingen biler på Maria Island og den eneste vej over er på passagerfærgen. De vigtigste højdepunkter er de malede klipper, fossile klipper og selvfølgelig dyrelivet, historien og fantastiske landskaber. Maria Island har en fascinerende historie, som vores guider vil dele med dig som gå stierne. Verdensarvsliste Darlington bosættelse er smukt bevaret. Darlington-fængselsbesættelsen går forud for Port Arthur. Øen blev udnævnt til nationalpark i 1972.

Så går vi den malede klipper sti og tilbage. Gåturen til de malede klipper er mild, for det meste flad og fører os til Hopground Beach med de malede klipper i den fjerne ende. Vi har masser af tid til at udforske klipperne, fotografere de unikke funktioner, og opdage de mange rock pools og smukke natur i området.
Øen er et paradis for dyreliv og et af de bedste steder i Australien for at se wombats, Tasmanian Devils, Cape Barren gæs, kænguruer og wallabies.

Yesterday’s tour on Maria Island was amazing The guides were so friendly and full of knowledge, we learned a lot and saw so many animals! The walks were beautiful, the timing was perfect… everything was just perfect. Thank you!
A lot of walking but a great experience: wallabies, kangaroo, wombats, pademelons and a host of different birds. Guided by Heather from Tours Tasmania who was just the right level of informative, and a terrific guide. She also drove the bus smoothly and safely. Fossil Cliffs, Painted Cliffs and wombats were the highlights. Boat crossing was smooth (for us) and swift. Very enjoyable day - thank you Heather. Recommended trip
Maria Island is beautiful and we saw of wild animals such as wombats, wallabies, paddlymellon and beautiful landscapes. In the other reviews, people wrote that their walk were at a leisure pace and mostly flat surfaces on Maria Island. This was not our experience . We are couples in our 70s and we travelled to Africa, South America & Asia frequently. This day tour is one of the toughest we experienced. If you are 65+, read the fine print before signing up if this tour is suitable for you. We have a guide that is not helpful. He gave minimal information about the island & wild life. He started walking away before we had a chance to ask further questions . He looked annoyed if you asked him to repeat. He had no consideration and patience for slower walker. Starting from the walk from the pier to Painted Cliff, he was 1/2 mile ahead of us. We had to run to catch up. Afterwards, I asked if he could slow down a bit for us to catch up. His response was "NO & NO !" and if we could not catch up we should be on our own and wait for him at the pier. The walk was mostly upslope with a few flat surfaces. We were only allowed a 20 min lunch and bathroom break. During the break, he was hurrying us to go. We felt like we were in a boot camp. We felt rushed and stress the whole trip. We did not appreciated of how we were treated.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we are genuinely sorry that you left the day feeling rushed and unsupported. That is never our intention. Maria Island is one of our most loved tours, and we are glad the island's beauty and wildlife came through for you. Our Maria Island tour covers 10-12 kilometres of walking over approx. five hours, and we do describe it as an active day tour suited to guests who are comfortable with that level of activity. When our guides sense that a guest is finding the pace difficult, they do have the option to offer an alternative, to sit out the second walk and relax in the beautiful Darlington area, and then rejoin us ready for departure. We understand this may not have felt like a welcome solution in the moment, and we are sorry if it came across that way. Our guides genuinely want every guest to enjoy their day, and they do need to ensure we walk at a pace that achieves the itinerary. We are truly sorry that the communication between you and our guide did not land as it should have on the day. We wish you many more wonderful adventures in your travels.
Very picturesque, great tour guide, very tired from walking but definitely worth it
So, a long day, but worth it for the views. Some overseas visitors were more interested in the wildlife, wombats, echidnas, roos / wallabies / paddymelons, they got to see the lot. A fair bit of walking, as advertised, but at a leisurely pace. Good guide, good commentary, a good day.
Thank you! Maria Island really is a special place. Ticking off wombats, echidnas, wallabies, roos and pademelons in one day is pretty hard to beat. We'll pass your kind words on to the guide. So glad it was worth the long day and we hope to see you out on the trails again soon!
Very organised. Guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. Lucas was very caring with the slower walkers. Not many animals as it was too hot and dry but the guide kept looking.
We experienced strong winds, torrential rain, and clear skies on the island 😂 We were lucky to see wombets and wallabies. This trip not only offers the fun of animal hunting but also allows you to enjoy various scenic views. Highly recommended!
Thanks so much for the great review. Tasmania certainly loves to show all four seasons in one day. We’re glad you enjoyed the wildlife sightings and scenic views despite the wild weather, and really appreciate the recommendation.
A wonderful day's outing on Maria Island withTours Tasmania. Our excellent driver and guide Heather provided a five star experience walking to key locations on the island and sighting roos, pademelons, wombats and amazingly (because they're nocturnal) even a Tasmanian Devil!
Thank you for such a lovely review. We’re so glad you enjoyed your day on Maria Island and the incredible wildlife encounters. Heather will be thrilled to hear your kind words. Spotting wombats, kangaroos and even a Tasmanian Devil is always special. We really appreciate you travelling with Tours Tasmania. The Tours Tasmania Team
This was a great mix of history, spectacular scenery, and wildlife viewing! Matt was an excellent and enthusiastic guide, leading us on 2 walks to different parts of Maria Island. The scenery was incredibly gorgeous, particularly the Painted Cliffs, and the history of the different stages of convict occupation of the island was really interesting. We were lucky enough to see forester kangaroos, pademelons, and wombats!
Thank you Heather for exploring Maria Island with us. We are thrilled to hear you loved the mix of history, scenery and wildlife. Matt will be so pleased to know his enthusiasm and knowledge helped bring the island to life. Seeing the Painted Cliffs, the wildlife and the convict history all in one day makes Maria Island a very special place. Happy and safe travels. The Tours Tasmania Team.
An active day walking over 12km to view the fossil beds, Darlington convict station/settlement and the coloured cliffs. The bonus was our guide had a great knowledge of the island and native flora and fauna and the best places to locate these, especially on the windy day we experienced. Lucky enough to sight a critically endangered swift parrot drinking and bathing in a creek. Lots of wombats, Bennet's wallabies and Paddymelons to top it off. Probably one of the best day trips I’ve been on.
Thank you for joining our Maria Island Nature and Wildlife Adventure. It is wonderful to hear you enjoyed the full walk and the rich mix of history, landscapes and native wildlife. Your guide will be very pleased to know their knowledge helped you spot so many animals, especially on a windy day. Maria Island is a special place and we are glad it was a standout for you. Warm regards from The Tours Tasmania Team.
