Taking you from the heart of Hobart to the tip of the Tasman Peninsula, this four-day trip packs in all the highlights of southeastern Tasmania. Chat with friendly locals in the vibrant markets, sample the homegrown flavours of Bruny Island, witness huge expanses of oceanic scenery and explore a rugged, wild coastline shaped over the centuries by the southern seas. Take photos, sample local beers and wine, try deliciously fresh cuisine, walk through gorgeous landscapes, see some epic views and find out more about Port Arthur, Hobart and Huon Valley - this is the perfect adventure to see the best of the Hobart area (and more) in a short amount of time.

Take on the challenge of Australia’s most famous trek – the Cradle Mountain Overland track – and take in some of Tasmania’s most stunning scenery. With two expert mountain guides at your side, you’ll make your way through temperate rainforest and groves of eucalypts, across alpine moors and through valleys, skirt the edges of bright blue lakes and take in views of waterfalls and towering peaks in the distance. Camp on the edges of historic huts under star-filled skies, wake up to dramatic landscapes and take the chance to tackle side trips like summitting the island’s highest peak Mt Ossa. This active adventure with Intrepid is one of the best ways to take in an iconic trek and landscape.

See Launceston, Hobart and all of Tasmania’s best natural wonders in between on this seven-day Premium adventure. Sample local delicacies, learn the First Nations history of Cataract Gorge on a cultural tour, take in the breathtaking peaks of Cradle Mountain National Park and get panoramic views of Freycinet National Park from the Cape Tourville Lighthouse. Then, get fully immersed in the beauty of Tassie’s coastlines on a cruise to Wineglass Bay, taste the homegrown flavours of Bruny Island and indulge in the charming delights of historic Richmond. The south is calling!

Experience the splendour and remote wonders of an island that prospers in its isolation on this six-day nature-filled adventure through Tasmania. Discover uninterrupted UNESCO national parks, from the coastal heath and sand dunes that meet the rainforest in Takayna/Tarkine to the glacier-sculpted terrain that envelops Cradle Mountain. Stroll along the stunning Wineglass Bay in the shadow of Freycinet’s pink peaks and be mesmerised by the contrasting powder-white sands, turquoise waters and orange-hued granite in the world-famous Bay of Fires. Surround yourself with endemic wildlife, from Tasmanian devils to fairy penguins, and spend your free evenings indulging in world-class seafood in quaint coastal towns.

You will find yourself a world away but still close enough to enjoy all that Launceston and its surrounds offer. You are invited to pause, indulge in an afternoon curled up in the hammock inside, or soak in the views from the outdoor tub! Overlooking the South Esk River and Trevallyn Dam, the home features a stunning architectural design and luxury touches throughout. A stunning recent extension has added extra beautiful spaces to make the Treehouse even more special. Three queen bedrooms feature generous quilts, electric blankets and pillows to ensure a cosy space and sound sleeping. The new kitchen is equipped with everything you need to ensure you settle in and don’t have to leave unless you wish to. A cosy lounge and generous dining area feature, with an additional sitting and reading nook in the adjoining mezzanine space – from everywhere, you’re treated to the spectacular views. Outside you’ll find a cast iron bath to while away an afternoon or evening, with a book or glass of Tassie wine. Adirondack chairs invite you to focus on the views. Sunrises are magic at the Treehouse, with morning fog rolling through the valley. Evenings and sunsets offer a further perspective on the spectacular surrounds and mountains in the distance. We hope you will also spot the resident kookaburras and rosellas and abundant wallabies and pademelons.
