Encounter Maria Island

Encounter Maria Island is the official ferry operator to and from Maria Island National Park. The ferry sails to and from the island on a regular schedule.

Located off Tasmania’s East Coast, Maria Island National Park is only about 30 minutes by ferry from Triabunna, and as far from ordinary as you can imagine. All available sailings are listed when you make a booking. Rich in indigenous and European history, abundant in wildlife, boasting spectacular views and remarkable geological features, the entire island is a National Park, managed by the Tasma

nian Parks and Wildlife Service. There are no shops or fancy hotels, and limited places to charge your precious devices. So come prepared. Leave your ordinary world behind and experience something extraordinary – encounter Maria Island.
