Tasmania

An island of natural beauty
Pristine wilderness reigns supreme on this fascinating island, where National Parks and World Heritage Areas abound. Experience Tasmania's splendid isolation, which has preserved a unique colonial history and captivating convict past.

Separated from the Australian mainland by Bass Strait, Tasmania has developed its own distinct identity. Here, you can indulge your senses as you breathe in the clean, fresh air. Your palate will be tempted with such delights as lobster, salmon, full-flavoured cheese and a spectrum of fruits. Travel through dramatic landscapes and discover an extraordinary world of nature. The island's jagged mountain ranges, mighty rivers, deep rainforests, remote beaches and city streetscapes will compete with each other for a place in your memory. Our King Island Add-on will be the perfect way to complement your holiday. Who better to show you the real beauty of Tasmania than the people who know it best?

Relax by an open fire, spend some quality time walking through a leafy glade or indulge in shopping for souvenirs.

You can also add personal touches to your holiday by choosing from a range of exciting optional excursions. Hop aboard a steam train and travel along the restored ABT Wilderness Railway through mountains, gorges and pristine rainforest. Take an evening lantern lit ghost tour at Port Arthur Historic Site or treat yourself to a scenic boat cruise along Hobart's Derwent River. Perhaps you would prefer to see some of the highlights from the air. Opt for a scenic flight over the Port Arthur Historic Site, or experience the untouched beauty of Teekapoona Forest from a helicopter. The choices are as diverse and the experiences as exciting as you care to make them.

All the while, your Tour Director will be on hand to offer advice and assistance.
