Itinerary:

Day 1: Day 1: Mount Field, Russell Falls & Lake St Clair

Your tour begins with the pristine world heritage wilderness of Mount Field National Park. See beautiful Russell Falls and walk among some of the tallest trees on earth! As you go, look out for the cute Tasmanian Pademelons hopping around, they’re unique to Tasmania.

Later stop for lunch with a view at Australia’s deepest lake, Lake St Clair. If you’re lucky you might even see a platypus.

Then, head to Donaghy’s Hill for more incredible views that stretch in all directions. See the quartzite peak of Frenchmans Cap, and iconic Franklin River winding its way through the valley below.

Day 2: Montezuma Falls, Strahan & Henty Dunes
Your day starts with a walk through lush rainforest along the path of an old railway. Your destination? Montezuma Falls - Tasmania’s highest waterfall.

For lunch, stop at the beautiful fishing town of Strahan. Immerse yourself in the beauty and history of what was one of the most remote outposts of the British Empire.

Then, it's just a short drive to Henty Dunes where you'll spend the rest of the day. Climb to the top for a wonderful view across the Southern Ocean and an awesome photo experience!

This morning it’s all about Cradle Mountain! With the whole morning here, you'll have the chance to choose from a range of hikes and activities.  No matter what, this is an adventure you'll never forget. 

You'll have worked up an appetite - so stop for lunch in Sheffield - the town of murals. Artists from across the world have contributed artwork to this cute little town - look for the alpaca man! There are some great photos to be snapped here.

This afternoon, taste the delights of 41 Degrees Salmon. 

Later, it's onto Launceston. Head to Cataract Gorge, a stunning natural attraction in the heart of the city that's worth a look!

This morning, head north-east to admire the amazing memorial carvings at Legerwood.

Then, get a taste for Tassie's local produce as you sample the cheesy delights of the Pyengana Dairy Company.

In the afternoon it’s time for the highlight of the day - the stunning Bay of Fires. With some of the whitest sand and clearest water you’ll ever see, take your time to explore the beach or maybe take a swim. If you like oysters you can purchase some of the best nearby at St Helens.

In the evening head to your accommodation in the seaside town of Bicheno. As darkness falls head to the beach to see the little penguins come ashore to nest.

Next, it’s time to pack a picnic lunch as you set off to another Tassie icon - the sparkling waters of Wineglass Bay in Freycinet National Park. There's a tough walk to be had here, but you'll be rewarded with fantastic views from the lookout.

This afternoon, travel down the scenic Great Eastern Drive back to Hobart with a stop at Kate’s Berry Farm at Swansea. This a great afternoon tea stop with some more spectacular views.
