Tasman National Park, located on the southeastern coast of Tasmania, is a stunning showcase of the islandās rugged beauty and ecological diversity. Known for its dramatic sea cliffs, towering up to 300 meters above the ocean, the park is a haven for adventurers, nature enthusiasts, and photographers alike.
Visitors can explore breathtaking landmarks such as Cape Pillar, Cape Hauy, and Tasman Arch, each offering incredible views of the coastline. The park is also home to iconic natural formations like the Totem Pole, a popular destination for rock climbers. The Three Capes Track, a multi-day hiking trail, takes travelers on a journey through some of the most spectacular scenery, combining lush forests, open heathlands, and jaw-dropping cliff-top vistas.
Marine life thrives in the surrounding waters, making the park a hotspot for wildlife observation.

Ā Ā Ā Read moreThis is the national park in the far southeast of Tasmania near Port Arthur. We recently spent a couple days in the Tasman National Park enjoying the sightseeing opportunities around Eaglehawk Neck including the interesting Tessellated Pavements, Tasman Arch and sea cliffs around Devil's Kitchen. We also took in additional dramatic sea cliffs and stacks at Cape Hauy, a challenging but rewarding 9.4 km out-and-back trail (60 Great Short Walks of Tasmania) that is part of the epic Three Capes Track.
There are rural campgrounds within the Park and a handful of accommodation options around Port Arthur including hotels and a nice holiday park. You can use Port Arthur as a good base for exploring throughout the national park, taking in other areas such as White Beach Remarkable Cave and Cape Raoul.
Overall, really enjoyed our two days in Tasman National Park. Would easily add 1-2 more days for more hiking within the park next...
