8 Day Tasmanian Complete Experience

We leave Hobart and drive through the Derwent Valley - travelling east to west across the island. You'll see the beautiful Russell Falls, walk among the Mt Field National Park Tall Trees, and visit Australia's deepest freshwater lake, Lake St Clair. Explore the pristine Franklin-Gordon Wild River National Park and end the day in Strahan.

Overnight: Strahan

In the untouched wilderness of Tasmania's West Coast we will explore the shifting sands of Henty Dunes. Then we continue into the Tarkine Rainforest and walk to Tasmania's highest waterfall - Montezuma Falls. Or you can choose to join the world famous Gordon River Cruise (optional, at your own expense).

Overnight: Strahan

Around 950m above sea level is the World Heritage listed Cradle Mountain-Lake St Claire National Park, where you choose a walk to suit you. With an extensive range of tracks, stroll around Dove Lake or challenge yourself with a hike to Marion's Lookout. A short drive takes us through Sheffield, the 'town of murals', to Launceston.

Overnight: Launceston

We make our way to the East Coast and the beautiful Bay of Fires. If the conditions are right, this is the perfect place for a swim. Tasmania's most scenic coastal drive takes you from St Helens to Bicheno, where you may want to join an evening viewing of the Little Penguins (optional at your own expense and seasonal).

Overnight: Bicheno

An early start means we are the first to the Wineglass Bay lookout, beating the crowds and the heat for that postcard photo. Relax on the secluded beach or choose the more challenging Mt Amos or Hazards Beach walk. Meet the iconic Tasmanian devil as we stop at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, before a short drive back to Hobart.

Overnight: Hobart

We journey south of Hobart to Kettering and board the vehicular ferry to cross the D'Entrecasteaux

Channel to North Bruny Island. On the island, we stop at "The Neck" home to the Truganini Lookout

and its spectacular 360-degree panoramic views of the Bruny Island coastline. Also, today we visit

South Bruny Island and Adventure Bay, look for some local wildlife (including the white Bennetts

wallabies) and sample some fresh local produce including oysters and cheese.

Overnight: Hobart

We start with a visit to Australia's best-preserved colonial village, Richmond before we head south to explore Tasmania's ruthless convict past at the World Heritage listed Port Arthur Historic Site (guided walk and short harbour cruise included). Rich in visual history, learn of the chilling life as a convict in the restored sandstone prison buildings and preserved ruins.

Overnight: Hobart

Explore today at your leisure, the second oldest Australian capital city and its unique waterfront area of Hobart. Take a stroll around Battery Point and sample the local bakeries and cafes or try some fresh seafood at the docks around Sullivan's Cove. After lunch, board the ferry and journey up river to Mona (Museum of Old and New Art) and experience one of Tasmania's most visited attractions. If you are not sure about some of the art, this place has its own brewery and winery.
