Unofficial guide · verify with Parks Tasmania
Independent self-drive still starts with the official passenger ferry. Guided days from Hobart or Triabunna exist when you do not want to drive the A3, or when a boat day includes Île des Phoques. Read island hours on the product page — many tours are Darlington / Painted Cliffs, not Bishop and Clerk. Tours do not replace Parks Tasmania alerts or packing food. Always check inclusions (Parks Pass, ferry fare, lunch) on the product page.
GetYourGuide links on this page use partner tracking when configured and may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Parks Pass, official camping, Penitentiary and Encounter Maria Island ferry bookings are never affiliated — use the official ferry and passes.parks.tas.gov.au. See affiliate disclosure.
Deep links to specific products (not generic search). Availability and prices change — confirm on GetYourGuide.
Coach from Hobart plus the passenger ferry to Darlington. Guided walking around Painted Cliffs / Fossil Cliffs / Darlington. Confirm whether a Parks Pass and ferry fare are included on the product page — they are still official systems, not this site’s products.
Guided Hobart day aimed at wildlife and Painted Cliffs. No shops on the island — pack lunch. This is not Bishop and Clerk and not an overnight south camp.
Starts at the ferry town, not Hobart. Cruise plus a guided walk and lunch — still not the official Encounter Maria Island ticket sold as a Parks product, and not Bishop and Clerk unless the itinerary says so. Confirm inclusions on the product page.
Boat day from Triabunna that includes Maria Island and the seal island offshore. Read the itinerary for how much time is actually on Maria versus on the water. Official Parks Pass / ferry rules still sit with Parks Tasmania and Encounter Maria Island.
Chip searches open GetYourGuide results. Inventory changes — treat these as starting points, not a live roster.
Triabunna and Hobart beds after you pick a guided day. Waterproofs and island kit live on the gear list.
