Connect with First Nations culture with a local Palawa guide by your side and try some bush tucker. Stroll along Wineglass Bay in the shadow of Freycinet’s pink peaks and count the bright colours that make up the world-famous Bay of Fires.

Itinerary

ITINERARY CHANGES Our itineraries are updated regularly throughout the year based on customer feedback and to reflect the current situation in each destination. The information included in this Essential Trip Information may therefore differ from when you first booked your trip. It's important that you review this information prior to travel so that you have the latest updates. Due to weather, local conditions, transport schedules, public holidays, political unrest or other factors, further changes may be necessary to your itinerary once in-country. Your group leader or local representative will keep you up to date with any such changes once your trip is underway and has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if deemed necessary due to safety concerns. , OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES A selection of optional activities that have been popular with past travellers are listed in the day-to-day itinerary. This isn't an exhaustive list and should be used as a guide only for some of what might be available. Prices are approximate, are for entrance fees only, and don’t include transport to and from the sites or local guides unless indicated. All activities are subject to availability, and may be on a join-in basis. It may not be possible to do all the activities listed in the time available at each destination, so some pre-planning for what you are most interested in is advised. When it's recommended that travellers pre-book these activities, look for a note in the Special Information section of the day-to-day itinerary. For most, they can either be organised independently on the day, or let your group leader or local representative know you are interested at the Welcome Meeting and they can assist. Where activities are considered medium or high risk, we work with operators whose safety and credentials we have sighted and assessed. Although it is possible that you may find the same activity cheaper with another operator on the ground, we cannot vouch for the safety or quality of that operator. Medium and high-risk activities not listed above have not been assessed by us and as such our staff and group leader or local representative are unable to assist you with organising these activities. Activities that contravene our Responsible Travel policies are also not listed. Please remember that the decision to partake in any activity not listed is at your own discretion and risk., ABORIGINAL & TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER CULTURAL EXPERIENCES & COMMUNITIES First Nations people have complex community obligations, and at times activities or experiences may be cancelled at late notice due to cultural commitments. In the case that we are unable to include planned activities with First Nations communities, we will endeavour to find a suitable alternative in the same or another destination on your trip.

Day 1 - Hobart
Welcome to Tasmania! Your adventure begins in Hobart or Nipaluna in the language of the Muwinina and Palawa peoples, who are the Traditional Custodians of the land on which Hobart is now located. You’ll have a welcome meeting at 9:30 am to meet your fellow travellers, then head out for a bush tucker experience with NITA Education – a local First Nations organisation working to inspire connection to their 50,000-year-old culture. Watch a Welcome to Country ceremony, then try some bush tucker and listen to their stories. Depart Hobart for a stopover in the historic town of Richmond – home to some of Australia’s oldest institutions. Enjoy some time to wander its streets, then head to a family-owned and -operated winery for a tasting session. You’ll spend the night in Bicheno – just ask your leader for the best spots for dinner.
Day 2 - Bicheno
From your base in Bicheno, drive south to the beautiful Freycinet National Park, home to a wild domain of beaches, whose powder-white sands are lapped by translucent waters. Join your leader for the walk to Wineglass Bay Lookout or continue to the beach for a swim. The trail is a gradual, uphill walk with some steep sections. The beach was voted one of the world’s top 10 beaches, so it’s worth tackling the extra steps if you feel called to the water! After lunch, follow the path up to Cape Tourville Lighthouse. Pose for a picture (or two) in front of the panoramic views and then head back to Bicheno. This evening, there’s the option to join a guided tour for a closer look at the Little Penguins as they return to their rookeries to feed their young after dark.
Day 3 - Sheffield
This morning, you’ll depart Bicheno and follow the Great Eastern Drive until you arrive in the northeast corner of Tasmania, home to the Bay of Fires. This popular conservation area features Tasmania’s signature white-sand beaches, coastal heaths and woodlands filled with protected wildlife, as well as its unique, orange-coloured granite rocks. Set off on a leader-led beach walk along one of the many bays before heading to your accommodation in Sheffield. The former hydroelectric hub has reinvented itself as an arts community with more than 140 murals on its streets that depict local stories and characters. You’ll have a free evening tonight to explore the town and see some of its street art.
Day 4 - Tullah
This morning, drive to the magnificent wilderness of Cradle Mountain National Park. The mountain sits at 1545 m (5068 ft) high and is one of the park’s iconic features, surrounded by stands of native deciduous beech, rainforest, alpine heath lands and button grass. Icy streams cascade down the mountainsides, and ancient pines are reflected in the still glacial lakes. You’ll have the chance to explore the park along several different walking tracks, including Dove Lake Circuit. Your leader will be at hand to explain the options depending on the group’s ability. End the day at your accommodation in Strahan.
Day 5 - Strahan
From Strahan, enjoy a full day exploring Tasmania’s West Coast, including the Takayna/Tarkine, which is not only Australia’s largest temperate rainforest, but the second largest in the world. This cool-temperate rainforest has largely been left untouched and still homes wildlife not found anywhere else on earth – including the endangered Tasmanian Devil! These lands even retain their biological history from when it was still connected to Patagonia and New Zealand, known collectively as Gondwanaland. After your time in the forest, you’ll return to Strahan for a free evening.
Day 6 - Hobart
Start the final day of your adventure on the Apple Isle, passing through Queenstown’s eroded landscape of treeless hills. Then, stretch your legs on some great (moderately easy) short walks along the Franklin River trail to the Nelson Falls Boardwalk. Your next stop is Lake St Clair, Australia’s deepest freshwater lake, then it’s over to the Central Plateau and Derwent Valley. Head back to Hobart, where your adventure will come to an end. If you’d like to extend your time in Tasmania, please speak to your booking agent ahead of time.
