Tasmania through the Seasons
Tasmania often faces unfair criticism regarding its climate, but despite being Australia's coldest state, it actually enjoys warmer weather than the UK! In fact, Hobart, being the second-driest capital in the country, reinforces this notion. So, for those considering a visit to Australia's Apple Isle and worrying about the weather, they can find solace in the words of British explorer Ranulph Fiennes: “there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing”.

FAQ's Common questions on multi-day guided tours to Tassie
What’s the typical number of days I need to see Tasmania properly?
Most tours take around 10-12 days to comfortably complete a full loop around the island to include Hobart, Launceston, the east and west coasts as well as Cradle Mountain. Typical circumnavigation trips will skip southern Tasmania & Bruny island. Many trips allow you to explore just the east or west coast and they are typically around 5-6 days. Walking and hiking holidays typically only take 3-4 days, but obviously only focus on a single region.
Do I need to be fit to join one of your Tasmanian multi-day trips?
It depends on the tour style. Coach tours require only light walking (towns, heritage sites, easy lookouts). Active adventures and walking or hiking tours expect a good level of fitness with many using trails, venturing over uneven ground and some steep paths. Please ask your Global Journeys travel advisor if mobility is a concern.
What kind of accommodation can I expect on tour?
Accommodation varies by region and tour style. In main centres (Hobart, Launceston), expect comfortable hotels. In remote or rural regions (west coast lodges, national-park cabins,) accommodation may be simpler but still clean and warm. Usually breakfast is included. Dinners may or may not be included depending on the tour type (more common in coach tours). Lunch usually is on-your-own so you can sample local cafés, seafood shacks or wineries along the way.
Can I expect a real mix of nature, culture and local food & wine on a tour?
Absolutely. Tasmania is known for both wilderness and culinary culture. Tours often combine National Park walks (Cradle Mountain, Freycinet), coastal scenery (East Coast, Bay of Fires), historic and heritage sites (Port Arthur, colonial villages) and food & wine experiences (Tamar Valley, local seafood, artisanal producers).
Will I see any wildlife on tour?
It;s likely. Tasmania’s wilderness zones and coastal regions are good for wildlife sightings. Wallabies, wombats, seabirds, and sometimes seals or penguins on coastal or island tours are possible. Tours around National Parks or remote coastlines increase the possibility.
How far in advance should I book my Tassie tour?
For peak summer (school holidays, Christmas/New Year) or popular hiking tours, book 4–9 months in advance. Shoulder seasons are more flexible but still fill quickly, especially for small-group and popular regional tours.
Is Tasmania good value compared with mainland Australia tours?
Tasmania offers outstanding value - natural scenery, wildlife, cultural heritage, and food and wine experiences. Because of smaller populations and less crowding tours can feel more relaxed and immersive.
