Making the most of Diamond Island
Use these notes to shape a realistic day ashore, then confirm any time-sensitive information for the date of your call.
Arriving at the port
Cruise ships are not able to dock here, you will be tendered ashore.
Imagine being so close to the coast that you feel part of it … strolling through a beautiful garden, at the foot of which lives a colony of Little Penguins. A few steps further, a private beach, with a magical island almost within reach. Imagine being so close to the wonder of Douglas Apsley and Freycinet National Parks (including Wineglass Bay and the remarkable township of Coles Bay).
Getting around
The 3km Foreshore Footway extends south from Redbill Beach, which has solid sandy breaks, to Peggys Point, the Gulch and along to the Blowhole, returning along footpaths with panoramic town views. Whalers Hill is the lookout from where whales were spotted in the old days.
