It’s hard to put the magic of Maria Island into words. Just an hour’s drive east from Hobart plus a 30 minute ferry ride, this otherworldly 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. There are no vehicles here but plenty of traffic; Maria Island island is home to vast numbers of wombats, wallabies, Cape Barren Geese and Tasmanian Devils that wander all over the place.
Explore the world heritage listed Darlington settlement, a beautifully preserved probational convict camp that’s considered the best in the world. Walk with us to the Painted Cliffs, an easy 4.5km round trip, seeing surreal and colourful sandstone formations up close. And we finish with the Fossil Cliffs walk, another easy 4.5km circuit, traversing the western side of the island over windswept hills and cliffs of 300 million year old fossils.
Along the way there’s plenty of space to 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.

Wonderful walks & wildlife
This tour was one of the highlights of my time in Australia this March. Maria Island is such a beautiful, unique place to visit, and Tours Tasmania made it a breeze to see the highlights packed into a single, well-organised day. Our guide was really informative, not only about the historical background of Hobart and Maria Island, but also about all the amazing wildlife we saw on the island. I've recommended this tour to many people in the weeks since I joined it; if visiting Maria Island piqued your interest but you only have one day to spend there, I would encourage you to sign up to this tour.
