The journey begins as we depart Hobart for Port Arthur and visit the Port Arthur Historical Reserve. Here, we enjoy a fascinating tour and boat cruise before checking in to our accommodation. Tonight, enjoy a welcome dinner and get to know your fellow travellers. 

This morning, depart Port Arthur and journey north along the Tasman Highway. Enjoy a brief detour to explore the charming village of Richmond, home to Australia’s oldest bridge (1823). We then continue north and pass through Orford and Swansea before heading down the Freycinet Peninsula.

This afternoon, we enjoy a walk to the Wineglass Bay lookout. Take in the stunning views of the pristine beach below, rated as one of the top ten beaches in the world. We then make our way to Freycinet Lodge, where we will dine in the Dove Restaurant.

This morning, we visit the Cape Tourville lighthouse, which boasts spectacular views of the Tasman Sea. We then enjoy an exclusive 20-minute scenic flight to take in the wonders of Freycinet National Park from the air. Fly over Wineglass Bay for a bird’s eye view of the stunning beach and bay before marvelling at the park’s towering pink granite cliffs, which plunge into the Tasman Sea.  

After our scenic flight, we depart for Launceston. We visit Woolmer’s Estate at Longford before heading in to the city. Tonight, we enjoy dinner together at Grain of the Silos Restaurant

After breakfast, we depart Launceston along the Bass Highway and travel through Ulverstone, Penguin and Burnie before arriving at Stanley, home to ‘The Nut’. If weather permits, we’ll take the chairlift to the top of The Nut for stunning views over Bass Strait.

Stanley was once the administrative centre for the Van Diemen’s Land Company, a royal charter company formed in 1824 during the reign of King George IV. This afternoon, we’ll visit Highfield House, the company’s original headquarters. We then continue on to Smithton, where we spend the night

Smithton is home to Tasmania’s most fertile dairy and vegetable growing area. It’s also home to the historic Woolnorth Station, which is still owned by the Van Diemen’s Land Company. This morning, we enjoy a fully guided tour of Woolnorth, including the Roaring 40’s Wind Farm and rugged Cape Grim. We then journey south to the World Heritage-listed Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park

This morning, experience the ‘Enchanted Walk’, a 45-minute easy stroll amongst the area’s unique alpine flora and fauna. We then visit Waldheim Chalet, a replica of the original built by Gustav and Kate Weindorfer in 1912.

Later, we make our way up to the stunning glacial-formed Dove Lake. Enjoy dramatic views of Cradle Mountain in the distance. For the energetic, a 5.7 kilometre walk will take you around the lake and beneath the towering spires of Cradle Mountain. If you don’t feel up to taking part in the walk, you’ll be transferred back to the hotel, where you can relax or enjoy the various shorter walks around the area. This afternoon, we’ll sample some of Tasmania’s finest wines and cheeses at the hotel

After breakfast, we depart Cradle MountainLake St Clair National Park and head south. We’ll visit Queenstown and learn about the area’s mining history with a local guide before continuing to Strahan

This morning, we board the ‘Spirit of the Wild’ for a cruise up the Gordon River and into the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. We’ll enjoy two guided shore excursions, including Heritage Landing and Sarah Island. We also head out to Hells Gates, where the harbour meets the ocean.

After returning to Strahan mid-afternoon, the rest of the day is spent at your leisure. Wander through the village and perhaps call in to the Huon Pine Sawmill for a demonstration

Departing Strahan early this morning, we head through the scenic Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park to Lake St Clair. Next, discover the ‘Wall in the Wilderness’ at Derwent Bridge, an exquisite work in progress by artist Greg Duncan. After lunch, we continue south east towards Hobart, stopping at beautiful Russell Falls along the way. We arrive in Hobart late afternoon.

For today’s touring, you can choose from some of Hobart’s most popular attractions. Discover the highly-acclaimed Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) or delve into the natural world with a combined visit to Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary and the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens.

Later this afternoon, we return to Hobart and embark on an historical walking tour, with your guide providing fascinating commentary and local insights. This evening, we enjoy dinner together at the hotel.

*MONA is only open Friday - Monday.

Today, we head to Bruny Island for a sensational three hour adventure cruise with Pennicott Wilderness Journeys. Travel along Bruny Island’s rugged southern coastline to spot the island’s abundant marine and coastal wildlife. This afternoon, we make our way back to Hobart.
