Tasman National Park is on the Tasman Peninsula, part of Tasmania near Port Arthur known for its coastal scenery. The park is home to the columnar dolerite cliffs at Cape Pillar and Tasman Island, perched at 300 meters high, these are some of the highest in the world.

This sea cavern (not cave, despite its name) may look like any other sea cavern, but when you look at it closely, you'll see the gap looks exactly like the shape of Tasmania but without its many peninsulas on all sides. Getting to the cavern's lookout is a 15-minute walk (return) from Maingon Bay Lookout but has many stairs that you will need to walk up on return.
While much less well-known than neighbouring Remarkable Cave, if you're into photography, this blowhole is well worth a visit. Visiting the blowhole requires a one-hour walk (return) from Maingon Bay Lookout, but note that sections of the trail are steep and slippery, especially after rainfall.
A jaw-dropping lookout but is only accessible via a 14-km, 5-hour (return) track. The views from this lookout partially characterise the landscapes of this park.
Lodge only available for those that choose to walk the Three Capes Track.
It's the final point of the Three Capes Track and is the only officially designated camping spot. There are two campgrounds to choose from, both not far apart from each other.
The park is a quick and easy drive from Port Arthur by simply just taking the C347 down south, until you're eventually there at the park.
