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 maybe 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.

Day 1 - St Helens
Welcome to Tasmania! Your adventure begins in Launceston – land of the Litarimirina and Panina peoples. This is one of Australia’s oldest settlements and one of only two cities in Australia listed as a UNESCO city of gastronomy. Your adventure begins at 8 am with a drive to the Bay of Fires region, then it’s time for your first walk on the Cobler Rocks Loop. Walk the sandy track through banksia-filled heathland to the beach. Take in the coastline of the Mount William National Park before continuing to Stumpy’s Bay. Stop for a picnic lunch, then set off on your next walk – the Mount William Summit Track. Climb to the highest point to take in the 360-degree views of jagged mountain ranges, tall eucalyptus trees and open plains. After today’s walk, you’ll check into your accommodation for the next two nights in St Helens – perfectly positioned to explore the walking trails of Tasmania’s north-east coast. Tonight, enjoy dinner with your fellow travellers and get to know each other a little better.
Day 2 - St Helens
After breakfast, travel to Eddystone Point Lighthouse for today’s loop walk. As you go, take in the scenic coastal landscape, clear beaches and rock formations, and learn about the historic lighthouse that used to guide ships entering or leaving Banks Strait. This afternoon, you’ll visit the Priory Ridge Winery in St Helens. Spend some time at the family-run vineyard, learn about the estate and its local produce, then unwind with a wine tasting of a few local drops.
Day 3 - St Helens
This morning, travel to The Gardens – a coastal area in the Bay of Fires Conservation Area, known for its orange-lichen covered rocks, clear water and white sandy beaches. Set off on a short walk to Binalong Bay. Explore the coastline north of Binalong Bay and look out for local wildlife like wallabies and echidnas along the way. After morning tea at Binalong Bay, take the return walk from Skeleton Bay to Dora Point. Walk along the coast and through dry sclerophyll forest with native blooms. This afternoon, you’ll travel to Launceston Airport, where your trip will come to an end. If you’d like to stay longer, just talk to your booking agent ahead of time.
Day 4 - St Helens
After breakfast, more white sand beaches await you. You’ll drive to Policeman’s Point, stopping for morning tea and lunch with a view along the way. Here, you’ll find boardwalks and lookout platforms across bright white sands, fiery lichen boulders and water clear right to the seabed. This is the most challenging walk of the trip so you can expect a few loose pebbles and headlands to scramble over and navigate around. Don’t worry, it’s nothing that you won’t be able to handle under the experienced guidance of your leader. The walk finishes at The Gardens, where you’ll make head way back to your cosy accommodation and enjoy a hearty meal with your fellow travellers and toast to the final evening of the trip.
Day 5 - Launceston
Today, we're shaking things up and heading to the Blue Tier sub-alpine plateau. This area boasts various rainforest walks, each with different levels of ease and difficulty. There’s the 600 metre Goblin Forest walk which meanders easily along a path and explores the history of tin-mining in the region. Or there’s the more challenging Mount Michael loop track which takes you through mature rainforest to reach the top of Mount Michael. You’ll reach sub-alpine vegetation as you near the summit – some 800m above sea level. From here, you’ll enjoy the spectacular views over St Helens and through to the east coast. Your expert guides will choose today’s tracks, considering weather and track conditions. From the Blue Tier area, drive back to Launceston where our adventure comes to an end in the late afternoon.
