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.

Tassie’s East Coast Highlights tour delivers a spirited adventure for travelers eager to discover the island’s picturesque coastline and historic gems. Starting in Launceston and winding south to Hobart, this group beach tour treats you to the pink granite peaks of Freycinet, the haunting tales of Port Arthur Historic Site, and plenty of local flavors—lavender ice-cream included. Each day offers a new facet of the Apple Isle, with carefully selected accommodations and smooth transport making the journey as enjoyable as the destinations.

day 1Welcome to Launceston

You dont have to arrive early into Launceston, but we highly recommend you do. Time on your side? Walk the short distance to Cataract Gorge, home to the longest single-span chairlift in the world. Its quite the ride, taking you up high into this intensely beautiful, and spiritual, place. Otherwise, meet your Travel Director and fellow Tassie companions for a drink in the evening.

It was only a section of a round trip Tassie. Most people were doing that, and knew eachother already. They had seen things like penguins and lookouts, so it was not done any more. Port Artur was nice. For the rest way to expensive.
