Tasman National Park

The coastal reserve features 300-meter dolerite cliffs along the shoreline, where the Southern Ocean meets the Tasman Peninsula's rocky formations.

The Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service established this protected area in 1917, marking the beginning of conservation efforts on the Tasman Peninsula.

The peninsula holds deep connections to the Pydairerme clan of the Oyster Bay nation, who left numerous archaeological sites along the coastal areas.

Visitors access the park through a 90-minute drive from Hobart, with most attractions concentrated around Pirates Bay and Waterfall Bay areas.

The Three Capes Track extends 46 kilometers through different climate zones, leading hikers past geological formations including the Candlestick and Totem Pole sea stacks.
