Discover Tasmania

Day 1 Hobart After arriving in Hobart, you have time to explore this beautiful harbour city at your own pace. In the late afternoon you meet your guide and your fellow travellers and find out more about the journey through Tasmania that lies ahead. After the meeting, you enjoy a delicious dinner together.

Day 2 Port Arthur This day is all about the Tasman Peninsula and Port Arthur. First you take a boat trip along the rugged coastline where, with a little luck, you will see dolphins, seals, seabirds and, depending on the season, even whales. The afternoon is devoted to the Port Arthur Historic Site, which served as a penal settlement after the discovery of Australia.

Day 3 Hobart – Lake Augusta Today you visit the highlights of Hobart and its surroundings. From Mount Wellington you enjoy a magnificent view over the city and Hobart’s harbour. The sightseeing then continues at the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA). Today’s destination is the beautiful Thousand Lakes Lodge near Lake Augusta, surrounded by glorious nature.

Day 4 Hobart – Cradle Mountain NP One of the highlights of your Tasmania trip is sure to be the Wildlife Sanctuary, where you get to see the famous Tasmanian devils. After your visit to the sanctuary, you continue your journey to Cradle Mountain, whose imposing peaks can be seen from afar.

Day 5 Cradle Mountain NP You spend today in the national park. You can either take a leisurely stroll along Dove Lake or choose the more challenging route up to Marions Lookout. In the afternoon you have time to explore the national park on your own or to enjoy the comforts of your accommodation.

Day 6 Cradle Mountain NP – Launceston The first stop on this leg is Ashgrove Farm, where you get to know Tasmania’s most famous cheesemaker. After tasting a selection of cheeses, you continue to Launceston, where a short walk takes you to Cataract Gorge. Travelling via Bicheno, you reach Freycinet National Park in the evening.

Day 7 Freycinet NP Freycinet National Park is known for its beautiful beaches and numerous walking trails. You can choose today’s activities entirely as you please. We definitely recommend a hike to the lookout, from where you enjoy a magnificent view of the famous Wineglass Bay.

Day 8 Freycinet NP – Maria Island – Hobart Via Swansea and Triabunna, your route heads south to the ferry to Maria Island. The island is a true nature paradise that can only be explored on foot and is home to numerous ancient Aboriginal cultural sites. Lunch is planned during a walk on the island. In the late afternoon you take the ferry back to the mainland and return to Hobart.

Day 9 Hobart The tour ends after breakfast. If you have time before continuing your journey, you can enjoy Hobart’s beautiful waterfront.
