Ten days in Tasmania enables us to explore more of Tasmania's wild places. We discover our famous national parks such as Cradle Mountain and Freycinet, but we also get to explore amazing natural landscapes like the Tarkine in North West Tasmania that are off the beaten track.
This tour finds a great balance between traveling around the state and exploring on foot with some easy-to-moderate walking options. This tour is motel-based only and includes many meals and great activities like the Gordon River Cruise and Port Arthur Historic Site.
A visit to Bonorong wildlife sanctuary to see Tasmanian devils and other wildlife is also a highlight of this tour. Our company is eco-certified through Ecotourism Australia, so travelers wanting to make a responsible travel choice can take comfort in knowing they are with an experienced local tour operator who prioritizes sustainability.
Wild places, Wildlife and Wild Fun are our travel themes and this tour is no exception!
