Road trips
On a planned journey or unexpected detour, Tasmanian road trips are full of surprises.
From beautiful coastal drives to misty highland highways, foodie-themed routes, winery circuits and lonesome country backroads, Tasmanian road trips come in all shapes and flavours.
Tasmania’s compact size comes in handy; it means you'll spend less time driving between the dots and more time exploring them. Whether you're watching the fuel gauge or the battery, that can only be a good thing. EV charging is available right across the island and petrol is well stocked in towns around the state. For peace of mind before venturing into more remote areas, check TasALERT for up-to-date fuel supply facts and find real-time fuel prices and service station locations at FuelCheck TAS. Ready your playlist. Fill the tank or top up the charge. And travel at your own pace.

Road conditions can change quickly and routes may be winding and steep, so allow extra time when estimating driving times and distances. Wildlife is abundant here, so please slow down and take extra care, especially between dawn and dusk.
