• Tasmania Travel & Tours

Beijing, Amsterdam, San Fran… Hobart? You’d better believe it. In 2013, Lonely Planet, citing the city’s growing gallery and gastronomy scene, ranked Tasmania’s quaint capital one of the world’s top ten cities.

You’ll find no quarrel with us on this point, other than to add that Tasmania’s natural assets are no less worthy of worldly acclaim. From fairly unpromising beginnings (it was founded by the Brits as a penal colony), Tasmania has developed into one of Australia’s most treasured travel destinations. Boasting some of Australia’s finest beaches, mistiest mountaintops, loneliest patches of wilderness and most enigmatic/elusive/endangered/extinct animals, this island state is a nature lover’s wonderland.

Tasmania travel highlights

The Tarkine

Containing within its bounds approximately 1,800 square km of rainforest, 60 species of rare, threatened or endangered flora and fauna and a high concentration of aboriginal sites, the Tarkine is one of Tassie’s greatest natural treasures.

Hiking in Cradle Mountain

Albeit among stiff competition, Cradle Mountain is Tasmania’s finest place for hiking – if not Australia’s. Choose from leisurely strolls along elevated boardwalks to intermediate overnight hikes to the 80 km long Overland Track.

A toast to Wineglass Bay

From Freycinet’s breathtaking lookout, Wineglass Bay looks like it belongs in the Whitsundays. Climb up to one of many vantage points for that no-filter-needed photo, or cool off in some of the clearest waters you’ll ever likely enter.

Tasmania’s only inland city, Launceston charms with its attractive riverside setting, elegant 19th Century architecture, picturesque alpine backdrop and nearness to the vineyards of Tamar Valley.

The Henty Dunes

Reaching heights of 30 metres and stretching for 15 km along Ocean Beach, the Henty Dunes are the place to get sand in all the wrong spots. Choose between tobogganing, quad biking and sandboarding.

Tasmania tour reviews

Trip rating, time of year, esperance & southwest adventure , december 2019.

Thanks Adventure Tours for managing our itinerary during the tour so as to keep us safe and to ensure a good experience even with the worst fire season known in Australia unfolding throughout the nation in the summer of 2020. Some of your tours were cancelled where necessary. I felt we were in good hands throughout.

What people are saying

“Great tour. Awesome tour guide and tour group. Amazing places. Breathtaking waterfalls. Beautiful scenery. Heaps of fun. Options to suit various needs / fitness/ abilities. We were extremely well looked after by Evan our tour guide who gave us interesting and entertaining commentary and lots of opportunities to experience the beauty and wonder of Tasmania’s natural landscape, wilderness and wildlife. “

“ It was my second time exploring Tasmania with Under Down Under. Both tour guides, Tim and Keygan, impressed me greatly with their extensive knowledge of Tasmania. I learned a lot during the tour and will surely come back. I highly recommend this fantastic experience. Thanks again, I had a great holiday! “

“Our 10 day tour has been fantastic. Justin (guide) was forever cheerful and went out of his way to accommodate our preferences. It’s so unusual to have a guide who can let the itinerary ebb and flow a bit (but still seem to get where we need to be when we need to be there). And Tassie itself is amazing. Just beautiful. I loved this holiday and I’m so sorry it’s finished. “

Experience the splendour and remote wonders of an island that prospers in its isolation on this six-day nature-filled adventure through Tasmania. Discover uninterrupted UNESCO national parks, from the coastal heath and sand dunes that meet the rainforest in Takayna/Tarkine to the glacier-sculpted terrain that envelops Cradle Mountain. Stroll along the stunning Wineglass Bay in the shadow of Freycinet’s pink peaks and be mesmerised by the contrasting powder-white sands, turquoise waters and orange-hued granite in the world-famous Bay of Fires. Surround yourself with endemic wildlife, from Tasmanian devils to fairy penguins, and spend your free evenings indulging in world-class seafood in quaint coastal towns.

Trip overview

• Gain an insight into the unique flora, fauna and landscapes of Tasmania on an adventure that takes you to parts of the island that are more off the beaten track.

Intrepid will double the impact by dollar-matching all post-trip donations made to The Intrepid Foundation.

Several leader-led walks are included on a daily basis, allowing you to get among nature. This is the best way to experience Tasmania, so please make sure you bring sturdy, comfortable walking shoes and comfortable clothing.

Welcome to Tasmania! Your adventure begins in Hobart (nipaluna in the language of the Muwinina and palawa peoples, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which Hobart is now located). You’ll have a welcome meeting at 9:30 am to meet your fellow travellers, followed by a short walk to ningina tunapri – TMAG's Tasmanian Aboriginal culture gallery – to start your journey off by connecting to the Traditional Owners of Tasmania. Then, leave Hobart behind, and head to the historic town of Richmond – home to over 40 heritage buildings. Stop for lunch and walk the charming streets before continuing north. On the way, there are optional stops at a local whiskey, gin and vodka distillery or at a winery. After your tasting, continue to the coastal town of Bicheno and your accommodation for the next two nights.

Pose for a picture (or two) in front of the panoramic views, and then head back to Bicheno.

The Bay of Fires is remarkable for its long stretches of dazzling white beaches, shimmering turquoise waters, coastal heath and woodlands abundant with wildlife and orange coloured granite rocks. Take on one of the multiple walking paths, then head to St Marys – a heritage hinterland town surrounded by natural beauty. Your next stop is Campbell Town, steeped in convict history. Then, visit some local dairy producers to sample their cheese and ice cream. Later, arrive at your accommodation in Sheffield. The former hydroelectric hub has reinvented itself as an arts community. Before settling in for the night, maybe admire the more than 140 murals on its streets that depict local stories and characters.

There are no meals included on this day.

This morning, drive over to the magnificent wilderness of Cradle Mountain National Park. The mountain, at 1545 m high, is one of the park’s iconic features and is surrounded by stands of native deciduous beech, rainforest, alpine heath lands and button grass. Icy streams cascade down the mountainsides and ancient pines are reflected in the still glacial lakes. You’ll have the chance to explore the park along a number of different walking tracks, including Dove Lake Circuit – your leader will be at hand to explain the options depending on your or the group's ability. In the afternoon, there’s an optional visit to Devils @ Cradle – a unique Tasmanian Devil conservation sanctuary in the national park.

The largest tract of temperate rainforest in Australia, the Tarkine is alive with unique creatures and habitats not found anywhere else on earth, and is home to vast forests of myrtle, leatherwood and pine trees – living links to Gondwanaland that it once shared with Patagonia and New Zealand. Take a walk among the pristine rainforest and discover Tasmania's highest waterfall encased in a lush fern forest and rocky cliffs. Then, take the road to the very edge of the west coast, and your accommodation for the night in Strahan.

We’ll make our way to the far North West Coast as far as ‘The Edge of the World’ at Arthur River.

Known fondly by locals as “The Mountain”, Mount Wellington/kunanyi is a diverse natural reserve with several trails to see fern glades, eucalyptus forests, dramatic rock columns, boulder fields, and spectacular lookouts. Tonight, unwind in one of the city’s historic pubs or restaurants.

Today we’ll discover the highlights of Bruny Island. After a short drive from Hobart, we’ll take the ferry across the D’Entrecastreaux Channel to the island. At the isthmus between North and South Bruny, we’ll climb the 279 steps to the top of Truganini Lookout. We’ll visit South Bruny National Park and take in the incredible coastline at Cape Bruny Lighthouse. At Adventure Bay, we’ll try our luck spotting white wallabies, and finish our Bruny experience by visiting a few Bruny shops where you might like to try locally sourced and crafted products like oysters, cheese, and beers. We’ll return to Hobart where you may wish to explore the historic Salamanca and waterfront area.
