When You're Ready - We Will Be ready for you

Undiscovered Australia - Tasmania

If you are looking for wilderness, relaxation, word class dining all without the crowds Tasmania should be on your list of places to visit.   Tasmania is  often described as Australia's natural treasure chest, boasting a higher  percentage of protected parks and reserves than any other state. It’s a  place where rugged mountains meet windswept coastlines, ancient  rainforests hide secret waterfalls, and historic towns tell stories of a  fascinating past.


  • World Heritage Wilderness: Explore over 20% of Tasmania’s land protected by UNESCO, including  Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair, Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers, and  Southwest National Parks.  
  • Rare & Unique Wildlife: Encounter the iconic Tasmanian devil, wombats, platypuses, echidnas,  and an astonishing diversity of birdlife in their natural habitats.  
  • Rich History & Culture: From convict settlements at Port Arthur, to cutting-edge contemporary  art at MONA, Tasmania offers a deep cultural and historical immersion.  
  • Culinary Excellence: Savor Tasmania’s acclaimed cool-climate wines, fresh seafood, artisanal  cheeses, and farm-to-table dining experiences that celebrate local  produce.


Planning Your Tassie Adventure: When and How to Visit

Tasmania’s climate is characteristically cool temperate, with four distinct seasons. The best time to visit is generally late spring through early autumn (November to March) when the weather is mild and the days are longest—perfect for hiking,  wildlife spotting, and exploring the great outdoors. However, shoulder  seasons offer fewer crowds and their own charms, while winter brings a  quieter, cozier atmosphere.


Getting There & Getting Around

Tasmania is accessible by daily flights from Australia’s  mainland to Hobart, Launceston, or Devonport airports. For a scenic  option, the Spirit of Tasmania ferry operates overnight services between  Melbourne and Devonport, offering a unique arrival experience.

Renting a car is the best way to explore Tasmania’s  diverse regions at your leisure, from sweeping coastal drives and  winding mountain roads to charming rural towns.


Highlights You Can’t Miss: Tailored to Your Interests

Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park: The Heart of Wilderness

One of Tasmania’s most legendary landscapes, Cradle  Mountain is a dream for hikers and photographers alike. Walk around  serene Dove Lake, try sections of the famous Overland Track, or embark  on guided tours to seek out wildlife such as wallabies and wombats.

Adventure seekers can hike the challenging summit  trails, while those preferring gentler strolls will find accessible  boardwalks perfect for soaking in the alpine scenery.


Freycinet National Park & Wineglass Bay: Coastal Paradise

The spectacular Freycinet Peninsula is famous for its  chalk-white Wineglass Bay, turquoise waters, and pink granite peaks.  Hike to breathtaking lookouts, kayak along protected bays, or relax on  secluded beaches. Nearby camper-friendly facilities and lodges allow for  immersive nature stays.


Historic Port Arthur & Tasman Peninsula: Stories in Stone

Port Arthur Historic Site offers a poignant look into  Australia’s convict past, with expertly guided tours through its  preserved buildings, museums, and gardens. Experience ghost tours,  harbor cruises, and interactive exhibitions that bring history vividly  alive.

The surrounding Tasman Peninsula provides dramatic sea  cliffs, natural arches, and wildlife sanctuaries—perfect for scenic  drives and photography.


Hobart & MONA: Artistic Vibes and Vibrant Markets

Tasmania’s capital, Hobart, combines colonial charm with  a dynamic art scene and a foodie’s dream. Stroll through Salamanca  Market’s stalls filled with fresh produce, handcrafted goods, and lively  stalls every Saturday.

MONA (Museum of Old and New Art) redefines museum  experiences with provocative exhibits, quirky architecture, and a  riverside location. Combine your visit with gourmet dining and boutique  shopping around Battery Point.


Tasmanian Wildlife: Close Encounters with Nature’s Rarities


Tasmania is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, offering a  range of memorable, ethical animal experiences that connect you with  the island’s rare and fascinating species in their natural or sanctuary  settings.


Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary

Just a short drive from Hobart, Bonorong Wildlife  Sanctuary is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing native  animals. Here, you can meet Tasmanian devils, wombats, kangaroos,  quolls, and owls. The sanctuary emphasizes education and conservation,  and guided tours offer intimate encounters and insights into wildlife  care—a truly heartwarming experience.


Maria Island National Park

Accessible by ferry from Triabunna, Maria Island is a  wildlife wonderland and a predator-free sanctuary. It’s a perfect spot  to see wombats wandering freely during the day, as well as Bennett’s  wallabies, Tasmanian pademelons, and a rich variety of birdlife,  including Cape Barren geese and rare Forty-spotted pardalotes. The  island’s peaceful environment and vehicle-free paths allow a serene and  authentic wildlife encounter.


Tasmanian Devil Conservation Park (Tasmanian Devil Unzoo)

Located in Taranna on the Tasman Peninsula, this  conservation park is home to the famous Tasmanian devil. The park offers  a unique “unzoo” experience where visitors can observe the devils  closely while learning about their critical conservation status and  threats from disease. Evening feeding sessions are particularly  fascinating as you witness the devils’ energetic personalities in  action.


Platypus House & Seahorse World (Beauty Point)

In northern Tasmania, Platypus House offers the rare  chance to view platypuses swimming and feeding in carefully recreated  habitats. Nearby Seahorse World provides interactive displays and  viewing tanks showcasing seahorses and other unique marine life native  to Tasmania’s cold waters.


Wildlife Cruises & Nature Cruises

For marine wildlife lovers, Tasmania’s coastal waterways  reveal fascinating encounters. Cruises around Bruny Island and the  Tasman Peninsula often include sightings of seals, dolphins, and  migrating whales (seasonal). These tours balance wildlife appreciation  with responsible eco-tourism practices, ensuring nature remains  undisturbed.
