Itinerary

Discover Tasmania on this 7-day tour, beginning and ending in Hobart. Travel through Mount Field and Lake St Clair before reaching the harbour town of Strahan on the rugged West Coast. Continue to Cradle Mountain to wander among alpine landscapes and stop in the mural town of Sheffield before arriving in Launceston. Journey east to the Bay of Fires with its white sands and orange-tinged rocks, then explore Freycinet National Park with sweeping views of Wineglass Bay. The adventure finishes with native wildlife encounters at Bonorong, the colonial charm of Richmond, and the dramatic coastline of the Tasman Peninsula.

day 1 - West Coast Wilderness & National Parks

Hobart - Mount Field National Park - Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park - Franklin Gordon Wild Rivers National Park - Queenstown - Strahan. You will be picked up from the designated pick-up point at 7:30 AM as we begin our journey through Tasmania’s wild West Coast, spending the day immersed in three of the island’s most striking national parks.

We start at Mount Field National Park, where we walk beneath towering rainforest canopies to reach the tiered beauty of Russell Falls and admire the tallest flowering trees on Earth. From here, we continue to the southern end of the Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair National Park to stand at the edge of Lake St Clair – Australia’s deepest freshwater lake.

As we head further west, the landscape becomes increasingly remote and dramatic. In the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park, we pass rugged mountain ranges, windswept button grass plains and ancient temperate rainforest – a region both ecologically significant and culturally rich.

A short stop in Queenstown gives us a glimpse into Tasmania’s pioneering mining history, before we arrive in the quiet harbourside village of Strahan, where we settle in for the night.

For those keen to stretch their legs further, you can continue down to the beach itself for a closer look at this spectacular bay.

If you're seeking a more challenging adventure, you may choose to climb Mt Amos, a steep ascent that offers sweeping views across the Freycinet Peninsula from the summit.

Alternatively, you can take a more relaxed pace and enjoy the scenic surrounds from Honeymoon Bay, where the pink granite peaks of the Hazards rise above coastal bushland and calm waters.
