On Board Expeditions

On Board, a proud member of Luxury Lodges of Australia, has launched a new two-night Port Davey Highlights expedition, giving 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 soar 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 mirror-still waterways, Huon pine-lined rivers, untouched Southern Ocean beaches, and weather-beaten coastlines. Each day 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 that grounds you and reminds you who you are.

Evenings offer a gentler pace, with Tasmanian wines and whiskies poured in the Wheelhouse Lounge, and feasts of freshly sourced Tasmanian fare served around a Huon pine table. Guests retreat to private suites with sweeping views of wild rivers and peaks, and gaze at the Milky Way and Southern Cross under one of the world’s most untouched night skies.

For travellers with more time, On Board continues to offer its signature 4- and 6-night Port Davey expeditions, providing a deeper encounter with the region and space to linger and immerse fully.
