About Remarkable Cave
Welcome to Remarkable Cave, a must-visit tourist attraction located at Port Arthur, Safety Cove Road, 446 in Australia. This establishment is not only a park and point of interest, but also an extraordinary natural wonder that will leave you in awe.
Before you embark on your journey to Remarkable Cave, please note that the Wughalee Falls campsite within the Tasman National Park is currently closed. However, the alternative campsite, Bare Knoll, is open and can be found approximately 400m beyond the Wughalee campsite turnoff. Please be aware that this campsite has limited capacity and cannot be booked. For any further inquiries, feel free to call us at (03) 6250 3980.
As you arrive at Remarkable Cave, take a moment to enjoy the breathtaking vista from Maignon Bay Lookout. From this viewpoint, you can admire the rugged southern coastline and the magnificent Penguin Rocks and bay. The crashing waves against the coastal rocks create a dramatic and awe-inspiring sight. Keep your eyes peeled, as you may even spot a majestic sea eagle soaring high above or catch a glimpse of a passing whale during migration season.
To reach the cave itself, descend the 115 steps from the central car park. As you make your way down, you will be surrounded by steep, ancient sandstone cliffs. At the base, a custom-designed platform awaits, offering a perfect view of the aptly named Remarkable Cave. This tunnel-shaped cave was formed over time by the relentless force of crashing waves, resulting in the collapse of a sandstone wall and the creation of the tunnel you see today. Some remnants of the collapsed rock can still be seen at the base of the cliffs.
If you visit during certain times of the year, you may witness the thrilling spectacle of waves rushing through the tunnel. Prepare to get a little wet and be amazed by the power of nature.
For those seeking more adventure, Remarkable Cave serves as a starting point for various walking tracks. To the east, you can explore the Maingon Blowhole (1 hr 30 mins return), Mount Brown (4 hr return), and Crescent Bay (4 hr return). These walks offer the opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Tasman National Park.
To reach Remarkable Cave, take a 90-minute drive on sealed roads from Hobart via Sorell on the A3, and then the A9 (Arthur Highway) toward Port Arthur. The park is located in the south-eastern corner of Tasmania, straddling both the Tasman and Forestier peninsulas. However, most accessible features are found on the Tasman Peninsula. Access to the south-western part of the park is also available via the Arthur Highway (A9), followed by Safety Cove Road at Port Arthur township.
When driving in our reserves, we kindly request that you avoid doing so at night. The roads are shared with our native wildlife, so please drive slowly and be vigilant for animals on the road. Additionally, please note that campfires are not permitted in Tasman National Park, except in designated areas within the Fortescue Bay campground. This is a Fuel Stove Only area.
Before setting off on any walk, even a short one on a fine day, it is advisable to carry a light pack with essential items such as a weatherproof jacket, warm hat, water (1 litre per person for every 3 hours of walking), high-energy food, and a first aid kit including an emergency space blanket. Don't forget to protect yourself from the sun with a sunhat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Insect repellent can also enhance your comfort during the walk. Remember to bring a rubbish bag and carry your waste out with you.
We recommend taking your mobile phone with you if it has a signal, but limit its use to conserve battery. If you plan to venture into remote areas, it's wise to pack extra food and an emergency shelter or tent.
Please be aware that the other short walks in the area are not suitable for those with limited mobility or wheelchair users. However, the Maignon Bay Lookout is accessible from the car park.
Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the traditional and original owners, as well as the continuing custodians of this land. We also acknowledge and respect the Elders – past, present, and emerging.

Reviews of Remarkable Cave
"A nice easy walk Dow the stairs, would definitely be worth seeing on a rough day with the water bashing around under the viewing platform Scratt didn’t find any acorns"
"The site itself would have been breathtaking but it was exceptionally disappointing rhat you cannot walk on the beach now (although people have disobeyed these instructions and taken a chance on the slippery rocks). We had come early to ensure we were there at low tide to be able to be safe while walking. Could therefore not see the second tunnel. DISAPPOINTING"
"Beautiful place, definitely recommend driving an extra 10-min if you're visiting Port Arthur. Plenty of parks and easy to get to. The view was amazing!"
"A Short walk (maybe 100m) with a couple dozen metal steps. Is very interesting to see this cave/tunnel with the tide/waves smashing through. Was an amazing place, the sights and sound. Plenty of parking, toilets are at the carpark. Do this sight seeing walk. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy."
"What a Remarkable cave indeed! it was such a windy day, thankfully, to the iron staircase we were able to walk down to explore the entrance to the cave. It's a beautiful scenic location with a short walk (15-20mnts) unfortunately not wheelchair accessible."
