Selecting the right Tasmanian tour or activity

So, which Tasmanian tour, sightseeing experience or activity is right for you? If you are not driving yourself in Tasmania, but want to see the major attractions and visit the wilderness areas, take one of the day tours that leave either Hobart, Launceston or Strahan to really get out into the wilds in perfect safety. You cannot leave civilization further behind than taking the Gordon River Wilderness Cruise or the ABT Tasmanian Wilderness Railway day tours out of Strahan.

Local Bus / Coach services to get around Tasmania without driving

If you want to rely on the local bus and coach services, getting between the major population centres in Tasmania is not difficult. There is a very good system of bus services, and these include Redline Coaches and Tassielink Transit Coach Service covering the main routes with express services between Hobart, Launceston, Strahan, Devonport, Burnie and Stanley. They also run services that stop in all the small towns on the route, so if you have the time in Tasmania, you can get to almost anywhere by coach service. The smaller, regional operators include Freycinet Connections, Marions Coaches for Launceston and the north, and Callow's Coaches, serving the East Coast.

The Overland Track - Multi-day and longer Tours and Activities in Tasmania

Feel the wind in your hair as you take one of the multi-day tours through Tasmania's rugged wilderness on the Overland Track, or on a cycling trip from Launceston to Hobart, taking in Tasmania's "english-style" countryside along the way.

Since a lot of us live in cities and have demanding, time sensitive and exacting jobs, it is hard to imagine a place where the only real time is established by sunrise and sunset, and where you can expect to hear no sound louder than the wind in the trees, the water splashing in the creek, the crashing of the waterfall, or the crackle of an open fire. Darkness all around at night with stars that you never thought you could see, clear, unpolluted air during the day. A place where the weather can change with amazing speed, between bright sunshine, scudding cloud, mist and driving rain at a moments notice. And the sunrises and sunsets - truly spectacular.
