Travelling by sea to Tasmania can suit road trippers who want their own vehicle on arrival. Check sailing times, cabin availability, vehicle dimensions, pet options, and seasonal demand before locking in your itinerary.
The journey covers 448 km and typically takes between 9.5 and 11 hours.
Fares start around $109 for an adult foot passenger, with prices varying based on the season, cabin/recliner choice, and vehicle type.
If you are prone to sea sickness, the most effective seasick precaution is to take over-the-counter motion sickness tablets (e.g., Kwells or Travacalm) at least an hour before boarding. Additionally, book a mid-ship cabin, avoid heavy meals, and either lay down or focus on the horizon.
