from AUD $1399

THE EXPERIENCE

Five days along Tasmania's southern and eastern edge — the part of the island where the colonial story and the coastline turn out to be the same story. Sandstone Hobart and Richmond, the penal settlement at Port Arthur, cliffs that fall 250 metres into the Southern Ocean, an island of wild wombats, and the granite curve of Freycinet. It finishes in Launceston, so you can fly out from the north rather than doubling back.

WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL

Highlights

01

Colonial Tasmania at its source — Salamanca, Richmond''s 1823 bridge, and the Port Arthur penal settlement.

02

The Tasman Peninsula''s four wonders, and a cruise beneath 250-metre dolerite sea cliffs.

03

Maria Island''s wild wombats by day, Bicheno''s little penguins after dark.

THE JOURNEY

Day by Day

Day

01

Hobart, First Impressions

霍巴特人文初印象

Salamanca Place & the Waterfront萨拉曼卡市集 · 港口街区

Saturday arrivals catch the market in full swing; on other days we walk Battery Point and Constitution Dock instead.

Richmond Village里士满小镇

Australia's oldest stone bridge, built by convicts in 1823, and the colonial village that grew up around it.

Cascade Brewery卡斯卡德啤酒厂

Operating since 1824 and still going. We stop for the façade and the story rather than the tasting room.

kunanyi / Mount Wellington惠灵顿山

1,271 metres above the city, with the Derwent, the bridge and the far bays laid out below.

Overnight · Hobart

Complimentary airport pickup for flights landing in Hobart before 9 AM.

Day

02

The Tasman Peninsula

塔斯曼半岛海岸奇观

Cape Raoul Cruise · 1.5 hours拉乌尔角巡游

Beneath 250-metre dolerite sea cliffs on the steadier, shorter boat — suited to most guests. Upgradeable to the three-hour Tasman Island cruise.

Port Arthur Historic Site亚瑟港历史遗址

A World Heritage convict settlement — cell blocks, the church ruin, the penitentiary. Read as architecture and as sentence.

The Four Wonders塔斯曼半岛四大奇观

Tessellated Pavement, the Blowhole, Tasman Arch and Devils Kitchen, strung along the peninsula's eastern edge.

Overnight · Hobart

Day

03

Maria Island & the Penguin Parade

玛丽亚岛 · 小企鹅夜游

Maria Island Ferry玛丽亚岛渡轮

Across at 11:30 and back at 16:15. No cars, no shops — the island runs on foot.

Wild Wombats at Darlington达灵顿野生袋熊

Bare-nosed wombats graze in the open around the convict-era settlement. Observed at a distance — never fed, never touched.

Painted Cliffs & Fossil Cliffs彩绘悬崖 · 化石悬崖

Iron-stained sandstone at the waterline and a wall of Permian fossils. Walked subject to the tide, the clock, and how the group is holding up.

Bicheno Penguin Tour比舍诺小企鹅夜游

Little penguins coming ashore after dusk at Diamond Island.

Overnight · Bicheno

Day

04

Natureworld & Freycinet

东海岸动物中心 · 菲欣纳国家公园

Natureworld东海岸动物中心

Close-range encounters with white wallabies, Tasmanian devils and swift parrots.

Cape Tourville Lighthouse Walk图维尔角灯塔步道

A short boardwalk loop with the whole Freycinet coastline open in front of you.

Honeymoon Bay蜜月湾

Orange lichen on granite and clear shallow water — the quiet counterpart to Wineglass Bay.

Wineglass Bay Lookout酒杯湾观景台

Attempted when weather and energy allow. We treat it as a hope, not a promise.

Overnight · Launceston

Day

05

Platypus House & Launceston

鸭嘴兽之家 · 朗塞斯顿收尾

Platypus House鸭嘴兽之家

Platypus and echidna at close range — the two egg-laying mammals found nowhere else on earth.

Grindelwald Swiss Village格林德瓦瑞士小镇

A short stop at Tasmania's improbable alpine-Swiss village.

Cataract Gorge卡塔瑞克特大峡谷

First Basin, the suspension bridge and the garden paths, with peacocks and pademelons on the lawns. The chairlift is optional, around AUD 35.

Departure day

We recommend booking a Launceston departure after 6 PM.

The order of the itinerary is adjusted around flights, weather, ferry sailings, road conditions and what is open on the day. Wildlife is wild — sightings are never guaranteed.

    Payments refunded in full, less any third-party costs already incurred and non-refundable.

Events beyond our control
