Have you ever cruised into the remote Southwest Wilderness of Tasmania?

The remote Southwest Wilderness of Tasmania is rarely visited and only accessible by flight, foot, or boat – making it the perfect place to discover a truly unique and immersive boating experience.

A World Heritage-listed area of wild rivers, quartzite peaks and ancient Huon pine, the Southwest of Tasmania is one of the most remote and spectacular areas on the planet. Protected marine reserves and National Parks housing one of the last expanses of temperate rainforest in the world are carved with steep gorges and jagged mountain peaks shaped by strong westerly winds, while scattered limestone caves house signs of human occupation dating back over 20,000 years.

Take to these breathtaking waters on an all-inclusive guided expedition through World Heritage Wilderness on the custom-built cruise vessel Odalisque with On Board. Accompanied by her expert crew, traverse prehistoric-looking landscapes of glacial fjords, quartzite peaks, and glassy waters surrounding an oceanic inlet three times the size of Sydney Harbour.

Working with an ever-changing landscape shaped by the whims of nature in this remote and wild region, we can help shape an unforgettable journey perfectly matched to your interests. Your daily itinerary is influenced by weather and your personal interests, creating a completely bespoke itinerary inviting you to explore both on and off your vessel. Upon these remote shores, go hiking, beachcombing, wildlife and bird spotting, and learn about the local township of Melaleuca with your local guides. Take to the seas on excursions to visit secret sea caves amongst the wave-battered Breaksea Islands, or take a scenic flight over the jagged mountain ranges to discover how far this region is from civilisation. Throughout your journey, you’ll enjoy exceptional service and indulgent meals made from fresh, seasonal Tasmanian produce, accompanied by local cool climate wines and crisp craft beers.

Contact our talented Travel Designers today to see one the most remote and spectacular regions in the world firsthand and embark a journey only a few intrepid travellers will ever experience.
