Explore lush green valleys, uncrowded villages and undeveloped coastlines. Come face to face with unique wildlife, including the eponymous Tassie inhabitants of the island, whilst the bustling towns today thrive on fishing and wine production.
Tasmania is one of the world’s most mountainous islands and the ideal destination for hikers, bikers, kayakers wildlife lovers and birdwatchers, with over 40% of the island protected as national parks and reserves. Immerse yourself in the Devil, and discover a fascinating history of convicts, miners, piners and Antarctic exploration.
The quaint settlers’ cottages and grand colonial mansions stand as a testament to the early temperate rainforest for a few days or enjoy the marine-life and walking trails of some of the off-shore islands – either way you will be sure to enjoy a true escape.
I understand that one size doesn’t fit all, and that’s why you have the freedom to design your experience, your way.
