Throughout your journey, swim, snorkel, dive and kayak, and choose the shore excursions that suit you from full-day hikes to gentle strolls. Experienced bushwalkers will guide the way and share insights into the region’s unique culture, history and eco-system. Alternatively, if you wish to stay on board during the day and simply enjoy the scenery you are welcome to do so. After the day’s exertions, retire to Coral Discoverer’s panoramic Xplorer bar and recharge with some of Tasmania’s famous food and wine.
