Day 4 - Pieman River Cruise for an extra fee ($65) we will cruise for 1.5 hours up the river to the ocean at sunrise. Along the river we will see a plethora of tree species in the heritage listed rainforest of the Tarkine.

Day 5, 6 & 7 - From Corinna after breakfast we will head to the rugged windswept Tarkine coast to explore the jagged rocks and salt bush grass hills that are dotted around Arthur River. A cluster of sea stacks are only a short drive to areas such as Couta Rocks and Sarah Anne Rocks.
