On Board, the floating member of Luxury Lodges of Australia, has launched a new two-night Tasmanian adventure.
The Port Davey Highlights expedition gives time-poor travellers rare access to Tasmania’s wild southwest.
Aboard Odalisque III - purpose-built in Tasmania for wilderness immersion - this condensed three-day journey captures the essence of the region’s silence, waterways and rugged peaks, previously only available on longer voyages.
Departing Hobart via seaplane, guests fly over the jagged Arthur Range and the spire of Federation Peak before touching down beside Odalisque III in Port Davey.

Over two nights and three days, travellers explore the wilderness; Huon pine-lined rivers, untouched Southern Ocean beaches, and weather-beaten coastlines.
The mini expedition is guided by On Board’s all-Tasmanian crew, who share decades of knowledge of the southwest’s flora, fauna, geology, and the stewardship of the Needwonnee and Ninene people, the region’s first custodians.
Guests can tailor their experience - heart-pumping hikes and sea-cave adventures, or the chance to just be still in a World-Heritage wilderness.
Evenings offer a gentle pace, with Tasmanian wines and whiskies poured in the Wheelhouse Lounge, and freshly sourced Tasmanian fare served around a Huon pine table that was handcrafted upstream on the Huon River in Franklin.
Guests then retreat to private suites with views of wild rivers and peaks.
“Port Davey is the kind of place that makes three days feel like weeks,” says Alice van der Woude, On Board’s director of marketing & experience.
“Whether you’re out exploring or simply pausing to take in the vastness and quiet of the harbour, it’s the sort of place that stays with you long after you’ve gone home.”
For travellers with more time, On Board continues to offer its signature 4- and 6-night Port Davey expeditions.
