Stanley & The Nut – Burnie Shore Excursion

Discover one of Tasmania’s most iconic coastal destinations on this relaxed shore excursion from Burnie to Stanley and The Nut. Perfect for cruise passengers, this scenic journey showcases the rugged beauty, history, and charm of Tasmania’s north-west coast—all with a guaranteed on-time return to your ship.

Travel along the coastline with ever-changing ocean views, rolling farmland, and small seaside towns before arriving in Stanley, one of Tasmania’s most picturesque and historic villages. With its beautifully preserved colonial buildings, quiet streets, and stunning coastal setting, Stanley offers a true step back in time.

Dominating the landscape is The Nut, a dramatic volcanic plug rising 143 metres from the sea.
