ITINERARY:

DAY 01: WELCOME TO HOBART

• Put your destination into perspective from the summit of Mt. Nelson, offering endless vistas over Australia’s southernmost city. View the charming Georgian cottages of Battery Point and explore the streets and convict-built warehouses along Salamanca Place, the backdrop of epic Saturday markets.

DAY 02: HOBART – STRAHAN

• Visiting Mount Field National Park is a humbling experience, not only for the fact it’s part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, but also because it’s home to some of the tallest eucalypts and flowering plants on Earth. Wander amid these giants to reach Russell Falls—take a deep breath; you’re officially on holiday.

DAY 03: STRAHAN – CRADLE MOUNTAIN

• The inky waters of the Gordon River—given its colour by amber buttongrass tannins—are as eerie as they are beautiful, the mirror-like surface only broken by your chariot out to Sarah Island. Cradle Mountain awaits to the north. We're sure you'll be content by the fire, perhaps with a glass of wine.

DAY 04: CRADLE MOUNTAIN – BURNIE

• Today your journey reaches new heights—quite literally with a visit to the 1,545-metre Cradle Mountain, your backdrop as you explore Dove Lake on your Cradle Mountain tour, the wild alpine moorlands here a natural magnet for lovers of the wilderness. The spectacular and pristine wilderness of Cradle Mountain is home to the mysterious and secretive Tasmanian Devil.

DAY 05: BURNIE – LAUNCESTON

• Table Cape is by far Wynyard's most remarkable natural wonder. At 180 metres high, 'The Cape'—as locals refer to it—offers spectacular views of Tasmania's coastline. If there’s a town with a cuter name than Penguin, we’re yet to find it. Locals embrace its appeal—there are penguin sculptures at every turn, including one measuring over 3 metres tall. Refuel at Ashgrove Tasmanian Farm, where happy cows contribute to award-winning cheeses—everything from cheddar and red Leicester to creamy Tasmanian blue.

DAY 06: LAUNCESTON

• Blink and you’re at Cataract Gorge, a yawning chasm carved by ancient rivers. This rare natural phenomenon unites bushland with neat Victorian gardens, replete with ferns and exotic plants. Get a different perspective of the green cavern on the optional scenic chairlift, zipping you over the water to a lofty lookout. We wouldn’t blame you for lingering here, or perhaps sample more of Tassie’s finest fare on a Tamar Valley winery tour.

DAY 07: LAUNCESTON – BICHENO

• You’ll smell Bridestowe before you see it, this enormous lavender farm perfuming the Tasmanian countryside. The flowers grown here aren’t just used in fragrances—they’re also infused into ice cream, teas, and jams. It’s a tasty entrée to the Legerwood Carved Memorial Trees, sculpted into World War One soldiers. Little penguins come out to play in Bicheno; sign up to spot them after dark as they waddle to shore from the water.

DAY 08: BICHENO – HOBART

• The colours at Freycinet National Park are so vivid you’ll think someone has taken the glasses off your nose and cleaned them for the first time: the patchwork of ocean blues that lap Coles and Wineglass bays. The dramatic pink granite cliffs. There’s a reason why the peninsula stars on postcards.

DAY 09: PORT ARTHUR HISTORIC SITE

• The Isle of the Dead, Devil’s Kitchen, Blowhole… the attractions at and around Port Arthur nod to the region’s notoriously grim history. This is the best-preserved convict site in Australia, and among the most significant convict-era destinations worldwide.

DAY 10: FAREWELL FROM HOBART

• It took early explorers months to circumnavigate Tasmania. You’ve done it in 10 days. What a wild ride.
