Intrepid Travel: Best of Tasmania

Traverse Tasmania from Launceston to Hobart, discovering the island’s wild landscapes, rich cultural heritage and local flavours. Learn about Palawa culture and see Aboriginal petroglyphs on the Cradle Coast before exploring Cradle Mountain National Park and meeting Tasmanian devils. Then head east to Freycinet Peninsula for two nights at Edge of the Bay and a walk to the iconic Wineglass Bay Lookout. Continue south to the dramatic Tasman Peninsula, where historic Port Arthur, coastal rock formations, local gin, lavender and stargazing await, before finishing with wine tasting in Richmond and time in Hobart.
