What to expect

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.

Review for: Maria Island Highlights Active Day Tour

you get to spend ~5 hrs on Maria Island, recommend joining the tour as the guide knows where the wild animals are and you can easily get lost on the island. it was 17000+ steps for the day, so I would suggest doing this if you’re physically fit. if you are, this is highly recommended. this is the exact Tasmania you want to see!

Review for: Maria Island Highlights Active Day Tour

🌟 Maria Island was incredible—stunning cliffs, rich history, and we saw so many animals up close, from wombats to kangaroos. What made it truly unforgettable was our guide Peter. His passion, knowledge, and genuine care turned a beautiful island into a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience. Felt less like a tour, more like exploring with a friend. Highly recommend!

really recommend this trip for anyone who is visiting Tasmania! the beauty of Maria island is not to be missed! and our guide, Lucas was really great; able to show us spots to see the beautiful wild lives Maria Island has to offer; and gave us ample of time for photo takings and soaking in the moment. but definitely be well prepared for 4 hours of walking, and some steep road/ hill as well. definitely will recommend this trip!! thanks Lucas if you’re reading this! you’re awesome and can see you truly enjoy this job!!

Everything was great, the guide explained it to you all the time. We walked around the island for several hours, but it wasn't difficult at all. We saw many kangaroos and especially Wombats. The island is super beautiful. 100% recommendable.

The tour guide was very professional. Not only introducing us the Tasmania animal, such as wombat and wallaby, but also giving us detailed information about different parts of the island.

Matt is a very humorous and knowledgeable guide who’s clearly passionate about what he does. He taught us a lot about the wildlife on Maria Island as well as its history. We even learned how to identify animals by their poops🤣The views on Maria Island are absolutely stunning and well worth a full day of hiking. Highly recommend this experience.

A 4-hour walking exploration in the wilderness, where we saw wildlife. The guide was very professional and explained everything carefully, reminding us in advance to prepare lunch. We sat on the beach to enjoy the scenery, then went to Painted Cliffs. Everything was a work of natural art.
