A compact island bursting with natural beauty, you want to give Tasmania as much time as you can. However, if you are time poor, it is possible to tour Tasmania in less than a week. Consider doing Tasmania in sections. Tour Tasmania’s west coast wilderness or take in the coastal highlights of the east coast. Global Journeys has tours that you can take in four to six days, giving you a short but immersive tour that will have you wanting to head back to Tasmania for more.

Here’s some ideas to get you started.

Gordon River Tasmania

Tour the West Coast

Choose a six day tour that ticks off the highlights of Tasmanian’s west coast wilderness. Travel from charming Launceston or Hobart to experience the peaceful beauty of Cradle Mountain and Dove Lake. Explore the Tarkine forest of the north west, the largest and last cool temperate rainforest in the world. Marvel at the reflections and serenity of the Gordon River and the ancient Huon pines that line the banks. As you head to or from Hobart via Mount Field National Park and Russell Falls take in the rainforest of the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park from the comfort of your coach.

Russell Falls

East Coast Tours

Explore the splendour of the east coast in just four to six days, from Hobart or Launceston. Visit a lavender farm and see the iconic Tasmanian devil. Take in the perfection of the eastern coastline from St. Helens as you travel to Freycinet National Park to experience Wineglass Bay and the Hazards Range. Be inspired beyond your artistic comfort zone at MONA. Explore the eclectic, compact city of Hobart and discover the whaling history of Salamanca. Be moved by the living history of the convict settlement at Port Arthur and the picturesque beauty of the Tasman Peninsula.

Bay of Fires Tasmania

Take it all in

If you want to get out and walk, take an adventure across the whole island. Hike up to three hours each day on a 6 Day Taste of Tasmania. Starting and finishing in Hobart, step out into both the east and west coast. Take a series of short walks to the Franklin River, Donaghy’s Lookout and Lake St Clair. Hike to a spectacular waterfall in the Tarkine Forests. Immerse yourself in the rainforest, alpine heath lands and glacier lake on a Cradle Mountain trail. Ascend Mt Amos at Freycinet and explore treasures of Maria Island. If you want to walk the tracks, breathe the forest air and see it all, this trip helps you tick off the best of the island.
