Full Itinerary
Our first wilderness experience begins in Mount Field National Park where we’ll walk amongst some of the world’s tallest trees and the cascading Russell Falls. Continuing west we will visit Australia’s deepest freshwater lake, Lake St Clair, before traversing the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park. Here we’ll enjoy some short walks along the tannin-coloured waters of the Franklin River and Nelson Falls. Further west, past the vast buttongrass plains, vistas of Mt Lyell, the Iron Blow and Horsetail falls complete our day of stunning scenery. We stay overnight in Queenstown, once a historic mining town, now a thriving West Coast destination.
Meals: Dinner.
Overnight: Queenstown.
Departing from the harbourside village of Strahan, today we’ll cruise the Gordon River. This fantastic river cruise includes a guided boardwalk through the UNESCO World Heritage rainforest as well as a guided tour of the harshest penal settlement in Australia at Sarah Island. You’ll cruise through the treacherous Hells Gates which is a narrow passageway into Macquarie Harbour and enjoy lunch aboard the ship featuring Tasmanian produce. See the workings of a huon pine sawmill to further appreciate the history of this picturesque town, before departing for an incredibly scenic drive through to Tullah. On a clear day, this tiny township offers magnificent views of the rugged peaks of Mount Murchison. Tonight, we’ll enjoy a group dinner and relax in the lakeside chalet which sits on the shores of Lake Rosebery.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Overnight: Tullah.
Travelling north we’ll stop at Waratah to see the lovely cascading falls then continue through Hellyer’s Gorge to the North West Coast of Tasmania. At Stanley you can take in the views of The Nut, the volcanic plug that sits proudly out to sea and provides sweeping views of the coast. We’ll make our way to the far North West Coast as far as ‘The Edge of the World’ at Arthur River. This region forms part of the wild Tarkine/takayna coast, and to Tasmanian aboriginal people/palawa, it is a deeply spiritual place. We’ll enjoy dinner together this evening at the comfortable lodgings at Tall Timbers.
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner.
Overnight: Tall Timbers.
Today offers a deeper experience of the Tarkine. This ancient rainforest is the second largest cool temperate rainforest in the world. It is a wilderness area that holds ancient relics of animals and plants as well as palawa indigenous heritage sites from thousands of years ago. Enjoy several stops along the loop such as Sumac Lookout which offers breathtaking forest views across the Arthur River, and Trowutta Arch which is an extraordinary geological wonder. Returning to the North West Coast, we’ll explore several seaside stops along the way, including a visit to the idyllic Boat Harbour Beach, Table Cape, and the town of Penguin, before arriving at our accommodation in Devonport. Join us for a group dinner and then feel free to relax this evening.

You may wish to walk the outstanding Dove Lake Circuit – this 6km walk around the glacial lake beneath the peaks of Cradle Mountain is considered the best short walk in Tasmania. Before arriving in Launceston, we’ll admire the colourful murals in the town of Sheffield. Explore Australia’s second oldest city tonight at your leisure.

Visit Launceston’s stunning Cataract Gorge which is a terrific place to spot wallabies. We’ll drive to the East Coast and stop for lunch in the fishing township of St Helens before taking our time to explore the Bay of Fires/larapuna. Clear waters, white sands and orange boulders are classic scenes from the Bay of Fires region, and you’ll love strolling along these pristine beaches.

Enjoy seeing the heritage buildings before we make our way back to Hobart via the scenic winery region, the Coal River Valley. This afternoon, we’ll share with you some of our favourite spots in Hobart’s Wellington Park. Known fondly by locals as “The Mountain”, Mount Wellington/kunanyi is a diverse natural reserve with several trails to see fern glades, eucalyptus forests, dramatic rock columns, boulder fields, and spectacular lookouts. Tonight, unwind in one of the city’s historic pubs or restaurants.

We’ll visit South Bruny National Park and take in the incredible coastline at Cape Bruny Lighthouse. At Adventure Bay, we’ll try our luck spotting white wallabies, and finish our Bruny experience by visiting a few Bruny shops where you might like to try locally sourced and crafted products like oysters, cheese, and beers. We’ll return to Hobart where you may wish to explore the historic Salamanca and waterfront area.
