    Head from Hobart to the Tasman Peninsula to see where the Southern Ocean has carved caves and arches into rock. Walk clifftops 300 metres high at Pirates Bay, Waterfall Bay, Tasman Arch and Devil's Kitchen, watching waves crash against dolerite spires. Finish at the Tasmanian Devil Unzoo to meet the carnivorous marsupials themselves.

    Travel east from Hobart through seaside towns Orford and Swansea to Freycinet National Park. Hike for 45 minutes to Wineglass Bay lookout, a moderate walk that reveals turquoise water and white sand stretching below. You can extend down to the beach for a swim if you're feeling it.

What travellers actually say

Worth it if you're without a car and want seamless access to Tasmania's best spots. Think twice if you need flexibility at each location or prefer a single consistent guide.

  • Expert guides handle daily logistics seamlessly; you skip the driving and see genuinely stunning locations.
  • Guide quality varies notably; one reviewer found their second guide impatient with driving and hard to approach.
  • Hotel pickup locations aren't disclosed until after booking, risking you're staying far from the collection point.
  • Three separate tours in three days means pacing is tight; you'll want more time at each stop.
