ships and boat tours

tasmania is accessed daily by a large ship (for passengers and cars), connecting melbourne and devenport (see map).

a small freight ship connects flinders island and georgetown on the northern coast. this includes cabin offers for a few passengers.

on tasmania, ships for tours with visitors are operating about everywhere, and the size of the boats varies considerably. here is a convenient small one, which can enter little rivers as well.

very popular are rubber boats for rough rivers, requesting proficient actions. capsizing may happen!

what i preferred and did: joining a small group of travelers on a rubber boat with rudders, and then exploring sceneries and birdlife in remote rivers.

and this was indeed very enjoyable!
