The isthmus of land only a few hundred metres wide at Eaglehawk Neck is the reason Port Arthur was chosen as the site for a prison - the tiny strip of land was easily patrolled, and in those times few were able to swim and make a break for it that way. A line of dogs, tethered at short intervals, roused the soldiers if anyone tried to get by. The Officers Quarters has been restored as a museum interpreting the history and life at Eaglehawk Neck. The 1832 quarters is reputed to be the oldest wooden military building remaining in Australia.

Wild Ocean Tasmania is a small, couple-owned and operated boat tour and charter hire business. We take our guests to stunning natural sites that can only be reached by boat and encourage an ethical interaction with the precious marine life we encounter in the hope to raise awareness for the importance of the protection of these amazing animals, our natural environment and ultimately ourselves. By joining our tour, you also support our private wildlife sanctuary and the numerous marine research and nature conservation projects we are involved with.

Wild Ocean Tasmania offers small group boat trips and ethical wildlife viewing along the coast of the Tasman National Park. We purely exist as a catalyst to facilitate wildlife rescue and ocean conservation projects, while showing our guests some world-class scenery and giving in depth inside into the world of our local marine wildlife. Our tours are tailored to those who want to see wildlife in their natural habitat, who like to be exposed to the elements and want to travel with a purpose.
