This remote wilderness area is a marine nature reserve and forms part of the Southwest National Park, surrounded by the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. It’s one of the most spectacular landscapes on the planet, with wild rivers, quartzite peaks and extensive waterways.

We acknowledge and pay respect to the Needwonnee and Ninene people, the Traditional Custodians of the land which On Board visits in Port Davey, Southwest Tasmania. In sharing elements of their history, heritage and culture we acknowledge their connections to Country.
