Like its name suggests, this is your perfect Tasmania tour. Experience stellar sunsets, dramatic cliff faces of the rugged Tasman Peninsula to picturesque Wineglass Bay, wildlife you can only find in Tassie, Port Arthur’s rich history, local wines, and fresh food from both land and sea.
Let the wonders of Australia’s far north unfold on the Cape Tribulation and Cooktown Wanderer tour. Ideal for experienced travelers, this three-day adventure takes you from Cairns through the lush Daintree Rainforest and up to the historic town of Cooktown. Encounter rare wildlife, ancient rainforest, and stunning coastal scenery as you explore off-the-beaten-path locations with knowledgeable guides. The USP of this tour is its immersive journey through two UNESCO-listed ecosystems, offering an authentic taste of Australia’s wild beauty and frontier history.
AAT is an excellent tour company, I would rate them highly.
They look after their customers very well, are helpful and attentive. The tour guide Margaret was wonderful as was the bus driver. Margaret was very informative and helpful and had so much knowledge to share.
The accommodation was always good. I liked the interaction AAT Kings provided with the two dinners together (very special) with all the people on the tour on 2 separate evenings, the delicious breakfast meals we had and the welcome drink on arrival was very special and a nice personal touch for us all. The small free gift was a special touch. I love the colour of the bag. It'll be very useful. Thank you.
From two previous tour companies overseas that I've travelled with in the past and also AAT Kings in Australia, I'd honestly have to say, AAT Kings was head and shoulders above the others. Such impeccable service. It would be hard to beat.
All my friends and family raved about the scenery on the journey and the places we visited.
I'd have absolutely no hesitation in recommending AAT Kings.

The accommodation, the tour leader and the driver were very good. Interactions with indigenous people was a highlight as was the visits to spectacular places in Kakadu’s, Jabiru and the gorges.
The tour director was articulate and incredibly knowledgeable. He gave all tour participants access to understanding aspects of country, indigenous care of country understandable and indigenous culture and this made the tour for me, an excellent life experience.
Accomodation was in the main excellent, especially in Jabiru.
Thank you Top End Highlights.

Then, glide above and through the World Heritage-listed rainforest on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, stopping for breathtaking views along the way.
I had never participated in an organised tour like this and can now say I'd definitely do it again. Especially with AAT Kings. They are so professional and accommodating to all travellers needs. They ensured our experience was absolutely fantastic. In fact, I plan on joining them again for their 15 day Adelaide to Darwin tour. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

The AATKINGS Wilderness trip was easy and enjoyable. There were options to do more or less each day. The coach, food and accommodation were great but it was the easy way the trip showed off beautiful Tasmania, that won me.
As always with Kings the tour director Margate and coach driver Mark both did excellent jobs. The accommodation as always was very good, the food was also very good. I would recommend AAT Kings to anyone wanting a great experience

All the accommodation was comfortable, warm and easily accessible.
We really liked the Pavilions at Iron Bark Farm although one of us had difficulty walking but that was their problem.
Staff on the whole were very welcoming and helpful
Dream Island Resort was spacious and because it faced west, very warm to walk into as the dat although sunny quite cold.
The trip was amazing. Saw so many places and met lots of lovely people.
The tour has long days as you have to cover great distances some days but it is worth it for the varied landscapes and experiences that are on offer.
Taking a camel ride along cable beach at sunset. Walking on shell beach, seeing dolphins, turtles, rays and incredible wildlife. Snorkelling, swimming in fern pool in Dale Gorge, walking among the pinnacles and finishing the tour with an entertaining talk by Derek an aboriginal.
Carolyn. Tour director had so much knowledge to impart and took us to some incredible places. Terry the driver was amazing and kept us on the road and topped up with water. Nothing was too much for them.
The accommodation varied, from luxury to a miner’s cabin but they were all clean and did the job. Remember we were at times in very remote areas and there is not a lot of choice. Embrace the experience.
Would recommend taking the tour if you want to experience Western Australia.
Great trip. Seeing the remoteness of the N and W of Tasmania contrasted with the very different side on the NE and S.
Waking up in Cradle Mountain to snow and freezing temperatures will remain a highlight of the trip, closely followed by Launceston’s Cataract Gorge optional cruise which included a wine tasting! Very difficult to select highlights!
I like the fact that Margaret, the very knowledgable guide, gave us a variety of information on the history including convict background to Sarah Island and Port Arthur, human geography, agriculture etc and makes the area really come alive.
