What Maria Island National Park offers 
Maria Island is a unique National Park with many points of
interest - an island ecology, accessible geological history, historic buildings
and ruins, sweeping coastal vistas, secluded beaches, rugged coastal cliffs
and mountains, varied bushwalks, marine reserves, fishing areas, abundant birds and readily
visible wildlife. The rich European history spans the times of convicts, periods
of pioneer mining industry, farm settlers, and early nature conservation
efforts.
Along Tasmania's warm east coast, the island is accessible by ferry, boat or
light aircraft. You're
welcome to visit
for a few hours or a few days. Once on the island, you will find yourself walking or
bicycling in friendly natural surroundings, with no cars, no electricity, no shops and no
distractions. Activities include short strolls, medium and overnight bushwalks, bicycling, visiting historic
and natural features, seeing wildlife at close quarters, birdwatching, boating,
kayaking, snorkelling, scuba diving, swimming, fishing, climbing, camping and photography.
