Outdoor Tasmania is a well-established company providing exciting and interesting day tours to iconic national parks as well as going to less frequented places that have been specially selected for our guests. Our Director, Paul, has lived and worked in Tasmania for almost 40 years and through his experience as an outdoor educator, his knowledge of Tasmania is second to none. Our three, one day tours provide you with an opportunity to experience many different environments including mountain, moorland, rainforest, pristine beaches, magnificent coastal scenery, exotic parkland and botanical gardens. Also included is the opportunity to get up close and personal with our native wildlife and sample our fine wines, seasonal fresh fruit, cheeses and dairy products not forgetting of course our world-renowned seafood. Outdoor Tasmania also offers privately arranged customised multi-day tours working with our clients to put together itineraries that take in all the finest that Tasmania has to offer. For environmental reasons and to lessen our impact on our delicate environment we prefer small group up to a maximum of 12 guests. Our buses are Air-conditioned and our drivers are selected to provide a safe and relaxing time when driving between destinations and the flexibility to change things if necessary to ensure continuing enjoyment when there are weather changes, which are part and parcel of the Tasmanian environment
