Overview

Set sail to discover the natural wonders of Tasmania. Ponant invites you on a 10-day expedition cruise aboard Le Lapérouse to explore the varied landscapes, culinary delights and unrivalled natural environments of Australia's island state. With the charming cosmopolitan city of Hobart as your point of departure and arrival, you will sail to the Tasmanian wilderness, a remote and protected area listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, before reaching King Island, known for its gourmet delicacies, its crystal-clear waters and its ecosystem. Continuing onto the Tamar Valley, following the Tamar Valley...read more Wine Route and you may sample some of the region's gourmet produce. Birders will revel in Ile des Phoques - Seal Island - as it is home to several breeding seabird species including little penguins, short-tailed shearwaters and fairy prions.

Reaching Tasmania's Maria Island, explore the region's history and extraordinary wildlife sanctuaries alongside your team of expedition experts. After a stopover in Port Arthur, the Tasman Peninsula will reveal its spectacular culminating dolerite spires rising from the sea, and you will get a chance to spot the region's varied marine life including Australian fur seals and dolphins from our fleet of zodiac. Then you will head back to Hobart, your port of disembarkation. The wildlife encounters described above illustrate possible experiences only and cannot be guaranteed.

Fantastic Kimberley   1 , QLD, Australia, Aug 2023
One of the best holidays we have ever done Expensive, yes but you get what you pay for in the end This was 6* cruising at its best. The daily and at times twice daily zodiac excursions were special and led by well informed guides all of whom had professional qualifications in a relevant field.

Food was of the highest standard an the open bar well ...read more stocked to meet all tastes. Don't worry too much about formal gear, a sports coat and a colourful dress are all that is required on the two gala nights. On the other nights, slacks and polo are fine.

We helicoptered to Mitchell Falls which again was expensive but well worth it. Forget about the Horizontal Falls boat ride. Those that went were very dissatisfied as the most exciting of the two Falls is now closed due to a boating accident. I've seen more challenging wave sets in Moreton Bay. Overall 11/10 from us and very highly recommended
