Pieman River Cruises

Pieman River Cruises can be booked from Corinna. The cruise aboard the grand old lady, Arcadia II, takes passengers to the Pieman Heads. Here it berths for 90 minutes The Oka Busallowing time to explore the wild coast, or to enjoy the Pieman Heads Adventure Tour to Granville Harbour.
During the summer months, bookings will be available for evening supper cruises.

The Arcadia II is a magnificent 67 year old 17m craft built of Huon pine. She has a leisurely cruising speed of 9 knots. Originally a luxury pleasure craft based in Hobart, it was requisitioned to serve in the Second World War in New Guinea as a supply ship. After several seasons as a scallop fishing boat on the East coast working the Coles Bay area, the Arcadia was commissioned as a cruise boat on Macquarie Harbour and the Gordon River in 1961.

In 1970 she moved to the Pieman River where she faithfully served her new owners, the Ellis brothers, who introduced the first regular cruise on the Pieman River.

The owners also provide special boating and kayaking experiences for guests at Corinna Wilderness Experience. Kayak rental costs $15 per hour, $50 per half day and $70 for a full day.
