Itinerary

Day 1: Bruny Island

Journey to Bruny Island, one of Tasmania's best day tours, for world-class beaches, rugged coastlines, lookouts and award-winning local produce.

Easy walks through temperate rainforest, with native wildlife along the way, and the chance to try local produce including oysters, fudge, honey and seafood. The day runs from 7:30am to 5:30pm.

Day 2: Hobart highlights

Begin at kunanyi/Mt Wellington (1272m) for Tasmania's pristine air and panoramic views of Hobart. On the way down, your guide takes you on a loop through Hobart's city highlights, with stories behind its historic landmarks.

Next is Salamanca Market (Saturdays only), with Tasmanian art, produce, buskers and souvenirs. Then travel through the Coal River Valley wine region, stopping at Wicked Cheese for a complimentary tasting.

In historic Richmond, see Australia's oldest bridge and church, with time for lunch and optional tastings at Drink Tasmania. Finally, visit Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary to meet kangaroos, Tasmanian devils and other Aussie wildlife. The day runs from 8:00am to 4:00pm.

Day 3: Wineglass Bay

Hikers have up to 4 hours in Freycinet National Park at their own pace, with trails including the Wineglass Bay hike or the challenging climb up Mt Amos for panoramic views. You can grab a packed lunch to take with you.

For a more relaxed day, the guide leads a walk to the Wineglass Bay lookout, a moderate 40-minute walk uphill, then a stroll around Cape Tourville Lighthouse. Swim at Honeymoon Bay, with its orange-capped granite rocks, clear water and white sand.

To finish, taste fresh seafood such as oysters, prawns and crayfish at the Freycinet Marine Farm (own cost), and perhaps a local wine. The day runs from 7:15am to about 5:45pm.
