Itinerary
See MapWe depart Hobart heading east then following the coastline north. We travel through the seaside towns of Orford and Swansea as we make our way to Freycinet National Park. Freycinet is one of Tasmania’s first National Parks, famous for its rich and stunning coastal landscapes. Pink Granite Mountains form the backdrop for secluded bays, pristine waters, white sandy beaches, local wildlife and amazing walking trails.
We walk as a group to the Wineglass Bay Lookout, this is a moderate uphill walk of around 45 minutes. Once at the top you are rewarded with that world – famous view of Wineglass Bay and the stunning Freycinet National Park. Enjoy the moment, take in the views and let our guides help you with those sought-after photographs. The walk to Wineglass Bay Lookout is one of the Great Short Walks of Tasmania and requires good mobility and adequate fitness. It is 1.3 km uphill, before returning downhill.
For the keen walkers, you can continue the walk down to Wineglass beach (2.5 hr return walking time). You have time on this famous beach to take a swim, relax, eat your lunch or meander along the white sands.
If you prefer to select the shorter walking option, then you can explore other areas of Freycinet with our tour guide. Visit Honeymoon Bay, Sleepy Bay, Cape Tourville Lighthouse & great short walk.
We re-group ready for the return journey. Our final stop on the East Coast is the stunning Devil’s Corner Winery, where you will have time to take in the magnificent view. On site you can enjoy a wine tasting, wood fired pizza, fresh seafood and Oysters from Freycinet Marine Farm and ice creams all available at own expense on the day.
Then it is onwards into Launceston arriving around 6.00pm.
We anticipate you will travel with 1 suitcase/travel pack per person, and your day pack for the day. If you have excess luggage please let our team know prior to travelling. We have an extensive range of hotels that we pick up and drop off door to door. However, if your accommodation is not part of our selected range of hotels/hostels, you will be picked up from a central location in Hobart, and dropped off to a central location in Launceston.

Who travels with us
Is this tour for me?
Our tours are made up of small groups with a range of different ages, nationalities and backgrounds. Generally people who travel with us are between 20 and 49, though we also get alot passengers much older onboard - everyone is welcome! On tour we get equally as many males as females and everyone shares an enthusiasm for the out doors, nature, adventure and culture. Our tours are for those wanting to really explore and share the experience with likeminded travellers. Whether we are camping by a billabong in Kakadu National Park or sharing a cabin in Tasmania, our travellers want more than just a site seeing tour. They are chasing a hands on group experience. The trips are packed with many highlights and the pace can be fast. There may be some long drives and passengers should expect to help out when setting up camp or cooking food - this is a group adventure. However, there’s always time to chill out, have a cold beer ( or wine! ) and soak up your surroundings. As always, if in doubt then contact us directly with your concerns.
Cost and Fees
Will I need additional money?
Visitors are advised to bring some cash as ATMs and banks can be few and far between depending on where we are during the trip. Its handy to have some extra cash as we do stop by local shops and cafe.

If you had an amazing time on tour and wish to tip the guide, then that is completely up to you. However, tipping is not customary and is not at all expected.

Temperatures range from about 20c during the day right down to 2c at night.Between October and March temperature are warm, so light clothing during the day is ok. However, night times can still be quite cool so its wise to bring light winter clothing for extra warm.
Where do I meet the tour?

Here we list everywhere we can pick up from and their respective times.There is a lot of information here to help you plan your flights and arrival.Please review careful as these can vary from tour to tour.

If there's something you can't do without, just bring it with you! Please advise your dietary requirements at the time of booking.
What vehicle do we use to explore Tasmania?

What is the weather like in Tasmania?
Tasmania weather has four distinct seasons. The warmest months are December, January, February and March. Autumn (Fall) has many sunny days and the landscape produces a mass of colour as 200 year-old oaks, elms, birches and Tasmania’s own native beech, turn from gold to red in preparation for winter. Winter runs from May through August. Spring spans September, October and November, and brings oceans of wildflowers. The average summer temperatures sit between 17 and 23 degrees Celsius (62 and 73 degrees Fahrenheit) and in winter, between 3 and 11 degrees Celsius (37 and 51 degrees Fahrenheit). Tasmania’s location below the 40th parallel means the summer evenings display a lingering twilight

“Very encompassing tour”

Nick was very descriptive of all parts of the trip. Scenery and stops were fantastic. Pickup was prompt. Location of pickup was easily accessible. Bring walking shoes for hikes. Bus speaker system was intermittent. All tour guides should speak a little slower for non-Australians.

“Beautiful ACTIVE Day Trip”
Travelled 11th March 2022
(5/5)
I did this tour as part of the 'Big Three' three-day tour from Hobart to Launceston. The weather on the day of the tour was not ideal, lightly raining nearly the entire day, but I still had a lot of fun. The day started early picking everyone up from their hotels before making a quick stop shortly outside of Hobart for anyone needing to purchase lunch to take with them for the day. We made one additional stop along a beach before getting to the Freycinet National Park. From there, we had three options of walks, a short walk to a cafe/lunch spot, a walk to Wineglass Bay Lookout (a 45-minute uphill walk), or the option to extend your walk to the actual sands of Wineglass Bay (approximately 2.5 hours). Normally, I would have chosen the longer walk, but given the weather was rainy, and the guide advised there were a couple of sections of the walk to be careful on, our group of four opted for the walk to the lookout. Two of the members of the group stopped halfway to the lookout before turning to head towards the van as it was an uphill climb and a bit too much for them. After taking in the views overlooking Wineglass Bay, we headed to Honeymoon Bay and did the Cape Tourville Lighthouse Walk. The description says you stop at the Freycinet Marine Farm for oysters, but we did not, so maybe that is a seasonal thing. We made one last stop for coffee/snacks/ice cream before arriving in Launceston. Overall, the day was long and tiring, but fun, and I learned a lot from the guides.

“Totally Worth the Money”
Travelled 9th December 2023
(5/5)
This was an excellent full day tour of three great events. It's a fairly long drive to the Huon Valley through Kingston but very lovely, lots to see. Keep in mind that the Skywalk is about a 2 hour walk on this tour and that there is a lot of steps. You need to be fairly fit and a regular walker. It was a brisk walk but you don't have to do all of it , you could sit in the cozy kiosk and enjoy bush views or just do a short walk and go up to the canterlever part. There are also two suspension bridges as well and the skywalk is very high up. All very safe.
The thermal pool is a fun swim. 28 degrees, so warm in but cold underfoot. Very hot showers when changing and open fires for warming up, great fun. Be brave!
The Caves are close by and magnificent. Lots of steps but absolutely worth the trip. Very safe and talented tour guide.
A really fun active day, we'll worth the money. Take a packed lunch and plenty of nibbles

“Cannot recommend enough”
Travelled 9th December 2023

An amazing experience all round! We were the only couple on the tour and despite the company likely losing money by only taking us around they still did and treated us like a full group. Trevor (I hope I’m remembering his name correctly) our tour guide, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and a safe driver. We ended up leaving knowing a lot more about Tasmania’s native flora, caves, and hot springs and had many awesome photos as memories. I can definitely recommend this to others who are on the fence about going, and am grateful to Tours Tasmania for such a great day out.

“Totally recommended”
Travelled 9th December 2023

I can honestly say that this trip was fantastic. Our drivers,Trevor and Graeme, were exceptional. They were fun and were able to answer all our (my?!!) questions.
Without Trevor’s help, I would not have completed the walk to Wineglass Bay lookout without possibly holding the group back. It was harder than I thought and with age and resulting lower fitness not on my side, it was a struggle. Without a rail I felt unsteady and I don’t normally have trouble with tour outings. Trevor was simply incredible. He stayed with me all the way to make sure I made it. His knowledge was awesome in everything Tasmanian (and lots of topics not) and he made it the most wonderful day. If older, please be aware it is not an easy walk- harder than I thought.
The bakery staff where we stopped to buy our lunch were wonderful but there was not a lot there for vegan or vegetarian. However, the staff quickly made me a salad sandwich that was most appreciated. If concerned, better to take your own. Plenty of beautiful sight seeing at bathroom stops as well.
I would definitely recommend this trip, especially with these fantastic guides.

My partner and I have been to a lot of caves in our time and we rate this one quite highly with well formed stalactites and some stalagmites. Yes this is a long trip from Hobart but is broken up with the sky walk and a lunch stop before the caves. Our guide was very informative and friendly. I rate this as a must do if you like caves.

This is such a fantastic place to visit. It is so well worth the drive. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. I was unable to walk the 100 steps to the entrance and then 70 steps back. So, one of the staff drove me to the entrance on the buggy. The walk was so wonderful, and it is elevated so high from the ground. The different vantage points are so great, and they offer unforgettable panoramic views. Well worth the entrance fee. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Great tour! David our tour guide was super friendly, extremely knowledgeable and comedic too.
My friend and I chose to do the full walk/hike to the viewing platform of wineglass bay, and continued the hike to wineglass bay beach and went for a swim. Weather was perfect, a little overcast but quite nice when you’re hiking. On the way back we stopped at Devils Corner Winery and got Van Diemens land Icecream (highly recommend!) and some others on our tour bus got some oysters and pizzas which they said was amazing.
Highly recommend the tour, especially if you’re unsure of what to do in Tassie or just looking for something to do outdoors. It’s a great experience for all ages.

A 35 minute drive inland from Geeveston brings you to the Tahune Air Walk and other adventures. We started with the Airwalk that takes you across the treetops ending with a Cantilever hanging out towards the Huon River for a lovely view, even on a rainy day and with the cantilever moving it's well worth a visit. Can also recommend the Swinging Bridges Walk and Huon Pine Walk.

“Best tour guide ever - Trevor”
Travelled 9th December 2023
(5/5)
This tour was awesome. Trevor the tour guide is an absolute legend. He is witty, knowledgeable, passionate and intelligent. His love for Tasmania is so evident in the way he talks about it. He has an incredible understanding of the natural environment, imparting his wisdom about flora and fauna. He is also well versed in environmental advancements taking place in Tasmania. He incorporated the history into the tour, acknowledging the atrocities like the killing of the aboriginal people when settlers arrived. He incorporated the traditional names of Hobart/Nipaluna and Mt Wellington/kunanyi. Trevor made this tour so special and I hope you have the pleasure of touring with him too.
My only feedback is - don't expect a 3 day tour with a group who you would get to know. Only a few of us did all 3 days, others were doing individual days of the tour - so maybe not so good if you're solo traveling and looking to make connections.

It was a long day and lots of driving but well worth it. I have some mobility issues and chose not to do the sky walk but still had a lovely walk down the the river and a very nice coffee at the information centre.
My adult nieces did do the walks and said that they were fantastic. Nicholas the guide was very knowledgeable and looked after us well, except for feeding us pepper berries lol.
The Hasting caves were what I came for and they were excellent. The tour guide was so patient with me and even got me out a chair to sit for a minute mid cave tour, so lovely of her.
Such a beautiful cave system well worth all the steps.

“Stunning Views and Devils’ Droppings”
Travelled 10th December 2023
(5/5)
We were not sure how well we would manage this tour. We are the wrong side of 65 but hoped we would have the necessary fitness for a full day out and about. We were glad we took the chance. We were picked up from our hotel by Trevor, our guide, and driven to the ferry. From there we crossed to the World Heritage Maria Island. The island turned out to have a jumble of buildings left over from its previous incarnations as convict settlement, farm and cement works. It also has an odd assortment of native and introduced wildlife. We saw pademelons, wombats, Bennett wallaby, kangaroos, ‘turbo chooks’ and Cape Barren Geese. We walked a loop via the limestone Fossil Cliffs admiring the jaw-dropping scenery along the way. We relaxed in the shade at the old settlement at Darlington, ate our lunches (bring your own), and refilled our water bottles. Trevor gave us the option of exploring the settlement further on our own and meeting up later, or joining him on the second loop walk to the Painted Cliffs. We chose the latter and were delighted we did. The beach and cliffs were stunning. The day concluded with the ferry back to Triabunna and the drive back to Hobart. All day Trevor was a font of knowledge about Maria Island in particular, and Tasmania in general. He is rightly passionate about Tasmania’s wilderness areas, fauna and flora. I will treasure many of his anecdotes and, in particular, his learned lectures on Tasmanian Devil droppings. Throughout the day we covered 10 kms but there were no stairs, the walking was on either open ground or well-marked paths, there were two moderately challenging hills and a bit of a clamber at the Painted Cliffs.

Although the island itself does not belong to one of famous attractions in Tas, it definitely worth a visit. It is relatively untouched and a natural, The scenery it offered is unparallel. Our tour guide, Clinton is great at telling stories and offerinng insights regarding the wildlife living on the island--there were so many, everywhere. We set off nice and early and spent ~6 hours on the island, but time passed by so quickly becauss it was so fun. I don't consider myself as a "fit" person, but the walking distance was not an issue at all. There was no stairs, no steep slopes and very leisurely paced. You get to sit down and enjoy a lunch with no rush. We returned to the hobart CBD before 5pm.

A long slow windy drive to these Tehune Adventures. But very impressive. We did the Airwalk, the Suspension Bridges walk, and the delightful Huon Pines walk. The giant stringybark Eucalyptus trees are amazing. The Huon Pine walk with the Tress Ferns and Man Ferns was great. The only problem was we arrived at 9 am and the place was inaccessible and not opened till 10 am - we can’t recall their website saying so. Highly recommended.

Lovely bush walking with good challenging swing bridges and Ariel treetop airwalk - can give shivers. But unmissable. Great picnic area. Take a picnic as the Cafe is very poor - very little on offer except expensive fried stuff, gift shop poor too. Staff a little offhand.

This is the trip to take if you want to experience Tasmania beyond the standard tourist fare. It takes you literally to the heart of wild and beautiful Tassie passing through some most lovely towns and villiages on the way, giving you a look at the most interesting hydro-electric operations which have been so essential to the development of this state. This was an absolutely fantastic tour which the operaters did not hesitate to undertake despite us being so few in number, their profit margin surely undermined by that- testament to the value that they give to their work. Nick, our guide, was delightful and able to well handle my friend who has some psychological issues and I (who some may well suggest that I can be similarly demanding). We went on 3 amazing walks to the most stunningly beautiful places I'm likely to ever see, stopped for lunch at a perfect spot and had arvo tea in a charming sandstone Georgian cottoge on the way back. A perfect day to remember!

My father and I enjoyed the 3 Day Tasmanian highlights Tour – Hobart, Port Arthur and Bruny Island. The tour was a great mix of history, food and gifts, sights and scenery, and nature and wildlife all fit within 3 days. Good weather allowed us to go to visit all planned sights such as Mount Wellington and we were lucky to see a white wallaby in Bruny Island and Tasmanian devils in Bonorong wildlife sanctuary. We found the tour very comfortable, almost all stops had toilet access, good local food options (we didn’t need to pack lunch) and could cater for people with different fitness levels. The tour is convenient with pick ups and drop offs at your hotel. Rob, Anni and Bunzy, our driver tour guides were warm and friendly, very informative, entertaining and organised, making sure the trips go smoothly. The tour was as described. They let you know extra costs upfront which are worth it. We found the 3 day tour was great value and a perfect way to get to know Hobart and surrounds, particularly on a short trip. Our luggage is full local food and gifts to enjoy Tasmania a bit longer when we get home. If only we could take the oysters with us! Highly recommend!

Don't normally write reviews but I highly reccommend Tassie Tours! We were in Hobart for a short break and didn't have a car so were relying on tours. We went on the Port Arthur tour and loved it so much we booked the Bruny Island tour when we got back. Small-ish groups so feels very personal, guides were very knowledgeable - I didn't catch their names but they were both locals who knew of secret spots and took us off the beaten path. Weather slightly spoiled Port Arthur but can't be blamed on them!

An excellent day trip from Hobart. The driver was very informative throughout and the tour covered all of the key sights Bruny Island as well as some local "product shop visits". There are amazing beaches and views on the Island and also wildlife - mainly wallabies and the albino wallaby. We did think that the tastings at the "product shop visits" could have been better organised as some the tastings (chocolate shop and cheese shop_ were nil or very limited / the shop owners just seemed to expect tourists to buy.

The early convict history of the island was the reason for our visit but the island has so much more to offer its visitors. The landscapes are amazing, such rugged coastlines and the wildlife on it is wonderful. We were fortunate enough to see many wombats (several with their young) as well as bandicoots, Cape Barren geese and a variety of birds. Our guide Heather was enthusiastic and passionate about the island and its environment which made the tour all the more enjoyable. It was not too strenuous to walk and the timing of the tour was just right for a day out from Hobart. Thank you Heather and Tours Tasmania we had a brilliant day out.

We only had enough time to do the airwalk as the drive is quite long - but fun - and it will depend on how quick you do the walks. To get to the airwalk you drive along a logging road - which is paved - through some impressive trees, which is a good start to the adventure. The actual airwalk is fun, but it looks like the forest is still regenerating from a fire in 2019 and in a few years will be more impressive. Going out on the cantilever section gave an impressive view!
Take the walk to the swinging bridges, but they do bounce a bit!

The route itself offered brilliant views, and we even had the chance to identify several species of animals, which was such a rewarding part of the tour.
Carl’s knowledge about the island’s history was impressive. He shared so many fascinating facts about the island, and I especially loved learning fun tidbits about specific plants and animals. His expertise added so much depth to the tour, and it really enhanced our experience.
The whole trip was perfectly organized. It was a full-day tour, but it never felt too long. The two routes were a comfortable length, and we got to experience a lot without feeling rushed. The well-planned itinerary allowed us to enjoy both the stunning landscapes and the wildlife, making the day feel both relaxing and enriching.

Be prepared for a long winding drive. You need to be aware and take care as there are logging trucks using the road. There also isn’t any wifi service.
The area had a significant bushfire in 2019 so be prepared for fire damage which has impacted the vegetation.
The entrance fee is about $30 per person for unlimited access to the walks and small info centre. The staff were very helpful and we were able to access the buggy for a person with less mobility. The airwalk was very good and we enjoyed the cantilever.

Fresh air, we expected, sunshine we weren’t prepared for! It is Tasmania after all!
Our very friendly and knowledgeable guide Luka met us at the meeting place to begin our Bruny Island Walking and Tasting Tour.
Luca was knowledgeable along the track to explain the flora and fauna aspects which was great and the pace moved at a speed relevant to the group.
The inclusions of the Natural Bridge, Two Tree Point, Coal Mining in Adventure Bay were well balanced with a visit to Bruny Island honey, Get Shucked Oysters and the Bruny Island Beer and Cheese Factory, oh and of course Bruny Island Chocolates to stack up on freckles for the grandkids, made for a well balanced tour.
There were good choices for lunch options!
As it’s one of the busier times of year Get Shucked and the Bruny Island Beer and Cheese Factory couldn’t tantalise our taste buds as it was too busy for the time allocation but it didn’t detract from the experience as there was plenty to see at both venues to get a feel for what processes on there.
