Maria Island Cruise

We like to explore when we stay at The Beach Escape. Recently we went on a full day Maria Island cruise with East Coast Cruises. The cruise departs from a town called Triabunna that is approximately one hour from The Beach Escape. If you get a chance to go on this cruise we highly recommend it - even the provided lunch blew us away with the fantastic selection of meats, salads, Tasmanian cheese and beer and wine - with many of the dishes home made!
