Join us on this ultimate 15-day tour to some of Tasmania’s best natural delights during a spectacular time of year which offers the warmest temperatures and long daylight hours. After some time in Launceston, we travel through classic ‘English-style’ countryside towards Mole Creek Karst National Park where we explore the subterranean world of Marakoopa Cave, and gaze over the Great Western Tiers from the Alum Cliffs. Learn about the iconic Tasmanian devil at a private wildlife sanctuary then hunt for secrets buried underground on a truffle farm. Immerse yourself in the pristine elegance of Cradle Mountain, a walking experience unlike any other. Across the Arthur River on the west coast, lies the timeless landscapes of magical Takayna/Tarkine where we spend two nights in Corinna Wilderness Village. This enchanted forest is framed by button grass moorlands and a rugged coastline. To experience the many moods of the Tarkine, we cruise the Pieman River, enjoy walks in Australia’s largest temperate rainforest and have the option to kayak secluded waterways. Walk from myrtle forest to the summit of Mt Donaldson; visit the West Coast Pioneers Memorial Museum at Zeehan; and stop the night in picturesque Strahan, steeped in pioneering stories. A six-hour eco-cruise on the Gordon River / Macquarie Harbour is followed by a short visit to historic Queenstown. Onwards to Lake St Clair National Park to soak up lakeside vistas, hike Mt Rufus and explore scenic shoreline trails. A walk to Russell Falls in Mount Field National Park is followed by two nights at Stewarts Bay Lodge on the Tasman Peninsula. We take a Pennicott Wilderness Cruise beneath the dramatic sea cliffs of Tasman National Park and explore Port Arthur Historic Site. With three nights in Hobart we explore the famous Salamanca Market, discover the iconic Mona Museum, enjoy a picturesque hike on Mount Wellington, and heading south indulge in a fine wine tasting and gourmet farewell lunch at one of the Huon Valley’s most celebrated boutique wineries.
