Maria Island, on the east coast of Tasmania, is a national park.
Wombats can be seen in their "natural" habitat.
Accommodation on the island is basic. There is a campground for tents, or very basic dormitory accommodation (The Penitentuary). Tourists have access to running water, but no hot showers or electricity. Cooking shelters are provided.
As there are no shops on the island, tourists must be entirely self-sufficient.
The main activities are: exploring ruins, hiking, photography, cycling and swimming (the water is very cold). Remote camping is available at some locations on the south of the island.
