5-Day Best of Tasmania Tour from Hobart
5 days
About this activity
Day 1: HOBART > STRAHAN
We leave Hobart and drive through the Derwent Valley – travelling east to west across the island.
You’ll see the beautiful Russell Falls, walk among the Mt Field National Park Tall Trees, and visit
Australia’s deepest freshwater lake, Lake St Clair. Explore the pristine Franklin-Gordon Wild River
National Park and end the day in Strahan.
Overnight: Strahan
Day 2: WILD WEST COAST
In the untouched wilderness of Tasmania’s West Coast we will explore the shifting sands of Henty
Dunes. Then we continue into the Tarkine Rainforest and walk to Tasmania’s highest waterfall –
Montezuma Falls. Or you can choose to join the world famous Gordon River Cruise (optional, at your
own expense).
Overnight: Strahan (Breakfast)
Day 3: CRADLE MOUNTAIN > LAUNCESTON
Around 950m above sea level is the World Heritage listed Cradle Mountain-Lake St Claire National
Park, where you choose a walk to suit you. With an extensive range of tracks, stroll around Dove
Lake or challenge yourself with a hike to Marion’s Lookout. A short drive takes us through Sheffield,
the ‘town of murals’, to Launceston.
Overnight: Launceston (Breakfast)
Day 4: LAUNCESTON > BICHENO
We make our way to the East Coast and the beautiful Bay of Fires. If the conditions are right, this is the perfect place for a swim. Tasmania’s most scenic coastal drive takes you from St Helens to Bicheno, where we visit a wildlife sanctuary to meet the iconic Tasmanian devil. Tonight, you may want to join an evening viewing of the Little Penguins (optional at your own expense and seasonal).
Overnight: Bicheno (Breakfast)
Day 5: FREYCINET NATIONAL PARK > HOBART
An early start means we are the first to the Wineglass Bay lookout, beating the crowds and the heat for that postcard photo. Relax on the secluded beach or choose the more challenging Mt Amos or Hazards Beach walk. We continue further along the scenic east coast via the seaside towns of Swansea and Orford as we make our way to Hobart.

A very enjoyable holiday. We had a good time despite the cold and rainy weather. The tour leader went out of his way to make us enjoy the tour which was highly commendable.
The tour was very well organized. The various sights were amazing and there were enough breaks so that the long stretches of driving were easy to do. The driver/guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating.
love the active lifestyle to get to all of tassies gems. out guide Travis gets 5 stars too. he was the mom for our group always looking out for us and going out of his way to make it a lovely experience.
My son and I had a fantastic time in Tasmania. Thanks to Kym everything was very well organised and easy. Her sense of humour and outgoing nature has put everyone at ease and our group became like a little family within a day!! So much to see and all the activities vary greatly, never any time to get bored. Thank you so much, would recommend this tour highly. Kym, you were an absolute star!!
Absolutey fabulous!!! If you do not want to drive and only have a short period of time, join this tour. The tour covers a lot of places in Tasmania. Our guide Trent was fab. He is always on the lookout for us to see the wildlife and plan according to the weather. The walk to Marion Lookout in Cradle Mountain was stunning. Hard work but worth it. The hostel that we stayed was brilliant except Launceston Backpackers which we stayed only one night. The bay of flies was stunning. Losts of photo opportunities. Small group makes this more fun as we get to know the group better, The best group so far!!. Make sure you bring proper walking shoes and towel. Otherwise enjoy the ride.
Well organized . Excellent short break that includes lots of the highlights of Tasmania. Our guide, Luke, was very professional, knowledgeable, well organised and did as much as possible to show us his Motherland.
It was a wonderful tour - with amazing people, itinerary and transportation. Ben is a super knowledgable and detail-minded guide who gives detail information about the place, climate, geography, animals and basically everything interesting to us. The stunning and sensational scenery has imprinted in my mind, I will definitely be back. Super Highly Recommended!
