Good itinerary!! As a local I agree with most of it, but would suggest a few additions. On the road to Freycinet I would highly recommend stopping by Kate’s Berry Farm just a few kilometres before Swansea. The berry ice creams and the pies there are amazing! After passing through Swansea it is worth keeping your eyes peeled for wineries, there are five between Swansea and the turn off to Coles Bay. My personal favourite is Devil’s Corner. I am told their recent renovation has extended their facilities from just offering cellar door, to now also having a restaurant. In Coles Bay, I recommend eating at Tombolo, it is the best food (at an affordable price) in the bay. Also for those who are more energetic and have the time, the hike up Mount Amos (departs from the same starting point as the hike into Wineglass Bay) is challenging, but the view over Wineglass Bay is simply spectacular – better than from the lookout. Only the track doesn’t provide a way to descend to Wineglass Bay Beach.

Thanks for the amazing tips Cat! Berry ice creams sound amazing, I’ll have to make that stop when I’m in Tas next – really hoping to get back soon. I’m also from Tas, Claremont baby :D But we left for Canberra when I was 14 so I really enjoy getting back to actually travel and explore the State because we didn’t really appreciate the beauty as much as we should have when we were kids.

Might plan for a few extra days and create a winery trip :D Thanks!

Fantastic. I am considering a cheeky visit to Tassie at Christmas/New Years, shall refer to your guide fo shiz. Also very helpful advice from Cat above.

Oooohh you’ll love it!! It’s my home state so I’m very proud :D … and maybe a little bit bias but deservedly so! If you want shoot me an email and I’ve done up a PDF travel guide on what to do around Hobart – happy to send it through :)

It looks like one can do many things here even in a short period of time. Useful tips – and, as usual, great photos!

Absolutely Lori – I would definitely recommend 1 – 2 weeks in Tasmania is you have the time, though really you can still get a fabulous insight and taste for the State even if you only have the weekend.

Freycinet looks absolutely gorgeous – I know we would love it there. I have heard such great things about Tasmania – how amazing you can see so much and enjoy it in a few days too (though I’m sure it’s the longer the better!).

Absolutely Sarah, Freycinet is a dream! I hope you do have the chance to visit soon, even if it’s only for a few days, there’s definitely still a lot you can see :)

Based on those photos, I feel like I could spend 3 days just at Wineglass Bay!! It’s so beautiful there. Really seems like a good mix of things to do if you have just a short time, though.

You absolutely could! I would personally recommend 2-3 weeks for Tasmania, because there’s truly so much to do, but you can easily see a lot of the State if you’re in more of a rush too.

Wow, Tasmania looks amazing. I don’t know what image I had in mind, but it definitely wasn’t this! Thanks for the detailed itinerary! I have pinned in my Australia folder.. I am dying to make it down under and it will happen some day!!

Tasmania is one of the most naturally beautiful States in the country, though admittedly I’m a little bias having grown up there :D I absolutely recommend a visit to Tasmania as part of your Australian itinerary when you have the chance to travel here though – hope you can visit soon!

This looks lovely! I have to admit I knew nothing about Tasmania (other than the Tasmanian devil). The beaches and the wine trips look like a perfect combo!

Can’t go wrong with a pristine beach and fine wine :D And they have the Tassie devils there too :D

This itinerary is a great way to see the best of Tasmania during a long weekend. Who wouldn’t love a weekend filled with beaches and wine?

That’s what I thought :D! Put me on a beach somewhere with a bottle of premium Australian wine and I’m golden.

I have this saved on my Pinterest board. I plan to visit Tasmania sometime next year. A road trip is something I’d love to do. May I ask around how much you paid to rent a car from the airport? Thanks for sharing this.

Hi Shilpa – you’ll love Tasmania, so excited that you’ll be visiting! Car rentals can vary depending on the time of year – from memory we paid around $70 AUD a day. It will depend on the time of year though because you can get cheaper deals in off season and obviously prices peak over summer which is November – February. Around that mark though :)

This taste of Tasmania with the coastal drive from historical Richmond to Freycinet and the gorgeous Wineglass beach looks like a beautiful weekend escape. Thanks for the itinerary recommendations.

Hope you can put the itinerary into action soon!

Hello! My husband and I will be traveling through Tasmania from March 8-11. Unfortunately, we will only be there for three days and are having to decide between traveling into Cradle Mountain or Freycinet/Hobart. Which would be a better route to go during March? And with such a small amount of time? Your feedback is greatly appreciated!!

Cheers, Whitney

Hi Whitney, thanks for stopping by. If it’s your first trip to Tasmania I would recommend the Freycinet/Hobart combination. Reason being Hobart is a fascinating capitol city, and a great introduction to Tasmania if you haven’t previously been. Combining with Freycinet gives you the chance to sample both the city / historical culture of Hobart, as well as the wild landscapes and nature for which Tas is known.

It depends on what your priorities are though because Cradle Mountain is a gorgeous area, with fantastic opportunities for outdoor adventure. Though I think you’ll get more variety out of a combination of Hobart and Freycinet if it’s your first time.

Hope that helps! Have an amazing trip to Tas … having to decide between the two just means you’ll have to return for a second trip :D

Take warm clothes with you, because March is usually when the season starts to make a noticeable switch.

I vote for Cradle Mt. The animals, wombats are amazing. Took a night tour and saw hundreds of marsupials and the clear sky was brilliant with stars! Visited a devil breeding facility, such an incredible experience! Bring warm clothing.

So glad to hear you had a fabulous time Virginia! Absolutely agree that the wildlife around Cradle Mountain is fantastic :)

Hi Meg, it is a very helpful itinerary. We are planning to fly from sydney to TAS during april long weekend. any suggestions as its our first trip to tas..also weather will be fine this ?? just to add i love beaches ;)

Hi Sonam, so glad we could help :) April will be a reasonably cold month as it’s mid Autumn (Fall), starting to lead into winter. It’s mainly wind chill though so definitely pack some warm clothes.

If you love beaches I would absolutely recommend renting a car (do this asap if you’re traveling on the long weekend, as public holidays like this tend to be busy and the prices might hike up substantially the closer you get to the holiday) and driving up to Wineglass Bay (our day 2 suggestion).

Wineglass is in Freycinet National Park and you can drive the coastal route (Tasman Highway A3) where there are all of these amazing secluded beaches off the side of the road.

You don’t have to stay overnight as I have suggested in the above itinerary, it’s a little over 2 hours each way from Hobart, so you could definitely make a day trip out of it and base yourself in the city if that was more convenient.

Hope you have an amazing time! Feel free to touch base inbetween now and then if you have any other questions about your trip :)

Hi Meg, Could you please help us plan our trip in Tas. I am traveling with my husband & young adult daughter. We are from the US & vacationing in NZ & Australia in June. We will be arriving in Tas (from Melbourne) on June 12,2018 (Tues)at 1:55 pm. & departing for Sydney on June 16th at 6am. We have 3 1/2 days & 4nights to spend in Tas. Your itinerary is more for warmer weather. Since it is winter during the time of our visit, please kindly let us know what places/activities to do (long hours of hiking/bushwalking as described in the above itinerary might be difficult to do in a cold weather). What area/town should we stay for our first 2 nights & the 3rd & 4th nights? Thanks so much for your insights & suggestions.

Hi Maria, thanks for reaching out, it sound like you have a fabulous vacation planned!

For your 4 days in Tasmania (assuming you’re flying into Hobart?) you can still keep our suggested itinerary for Day 1, ie visiting Salamanca Market (even though the markets won’t be on on a Tuesday, this is still a great place for history, shopping, and enjoying the waterfront), taking in the sights around Hobart, and venturing up to Mt Wellington for the view. Do pack really warm clothes though, especially if you go up Mt Wellington, as it gets very chilly, and sometimes the mountain might have a little bit of snow.

But yes, for the other 3 days, the beaches and bush-walks are probably better in warmer weather. That said, winter is colder, sure, but it doesn’t make the sites like Freycinet any less beautiful – I wouldn’t recommend you go swimming, but you can stay at the lodge in Freycinet and enjoy views overlooking the Hazards mountain range, Freycinet Peninsula and the pristine Great Oyster Bay. The air is crisp, but the beaches are still beautiful to walk. And some of the bushwalks are actually better at this time of year because you don’t have to push past hoardes of other tourists. There are a range of trails so you can pick shorter hikes of an hour if you’re not keen on long full day bushwalks.

Depending on your interests, and your budget, instead of Freycinet, you could make your way up to Cradle Mountain after visiting Hobart – this is probably one of the State’s biggest attractions, and you’ll have the benefit of seeing sites like Dove Lake without the crazy summer crowds (the tourism in summer gets intense). It’s quite a beautiful setting when it’s covered in snow, and there is a lodge within the park where you can settle into cozy accommodation, with great local produce, and take short walks if you’re up for it. Cradle Mountain is a 4 hour drive from Hobart though so I would recommend renting a car and you would probably want to spend two nights here to make it worth the drive up.

But otherwise you can take great day trips from Hobart if you’re more a fan of settling into one place and using it as a base; if you’re interested in history, there’s Port Arthur which is one of the countries most well preserved convict sites (though I would only do this if you’re interested in the history behind it), if you’re interested in wildlife, Bruny Island is a great choice; the scenery is absolutely stunning in winter, though keep in mind that you might get hit with rain at this time of year, so pack compact umbrellas or a raincoat (good tip in general actually). The Huon Valley is another great day trip from Hobart where you’ve got Tahune Airwalk, (personally I prefer to do all of these with a rental car because you have flexibility, and can adapt your itinerary if the weather is bad, but you can book via a tour company too), as is Mount Field National Park, and being that winter has high rainfall, the waterfalls in Mt Field are going to be at their fullest which is cool.

So you can either do Day 1 & 2 in Hobart and Day 3 & 4 up around Frecyinet like I’ve described above. Or trade Day 3 & 4 for Cradle Mountain. Or if you’re not feeling the moving around, stay in Hobart for 4 days, but do day trips to different parts of the state on Days 3 & 4.

I’m really going to advocate for getting a car rental because it makes everything so easy, and Tas is a very safe place to drive. In terms of which area to stay at in Hobart, it’s not really a very big city and the majority of tourist accommodation is concentrated in the same area, so you can’t really make a bad choice if you enter “Hobart” into a booking search. It will just depend if you care about being closer to the waterfront, or a couple of blocks back. There are a few different accommodations in South Hobart, and Sandy bay, but I would stick to the main CBD.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions at all :)

At several chains, including Omni and Fairmont, you can avoid paying a daily fee for in-room Wi-Fi by signing up for the hotel’s loyalty program.

Thanks for the tips. I don’t believe there are any Omni or Fairmont properties in Tasmania, but that’s good advice for hotel chains in general :)

Hey! Planning a 4 day trip to Tassie (24th to 28th December 2018). Any suggestions?

Hi Anushree, it really depends on what you like and what you want to see, because there’s quite a lot to do for different interests. If you’re not keen on the above itinerary, 4 days would give you enough time to spend a day in Hobart and then spend the rest doing day trips like the Huon Valley, Bruny Island, Port Arthur (very touristy, and I would say only go if you’re really interested in the history, otherwise it’s probably a day best spent elsewhere). So you could definitely base yourself in Hobart for a day, and then check out the surrounding regions with a car rental :)

Have a great trip to Tassie!

Hi Meg, We are a family of 4 (2 teens) from India planning a trip to Australia in May. We intend self drive – 3 days in Tasmania in last week of May. Pl suggest.

Hi Hetal, thanks for reaching out. It will largely depend on the type of things you like to do as to which areas you should visit, ie does your family like food, or are they more interested in history, nature etc. There are some really fabulous itineraries on Spirit of Tasmania website if the itinerary in our post doesn’t appeal to you, and you can filter for road trip suggestions based on your family’s interests: https://www.spiritoftasmania.com.au/destinations/tasmania-road-trip-planner

Hope that helps! Have a wonderful trip to tasmania :)

I am planning vacation with my wife in Australia. We are coming from India for for 12 days trips. Can you please suggest places. Minimum how much time we should spend in Tasmania.

Hi Sujit, thanks for reaching out. How long you’ll spend in Tasmania depends on a lot of things;

– How long you want to spend on the Australian mainland for other destinations.

– How much of the State you want to see, whether you want to drive, or just base yourself in one place and do day trips.

– What your interests are.

You could easily spend the whole 12 days road tripping around the whole State, but let me know the answers to the above questions and I can suggest a couple of places.

Hello Megan Thanks for reply.We would be preferring staying in city and planning day trip around.

we would like to explore nature, sea-beaches, culture and city life in Australia.I will be having around 12 days starting from Melbourne – Plan is to spend 3 days in Melbourne, 3 days-Tasmania, 2 days in sydney, 2 day gold coast. will fly back from Melbourne.

can you please suggest/modify above itinerary based on your experience.

I also heard of great barrier of reef but it seems costly to travel & stay there.

Also in Tasmania is it safe to travel by renting car? As i am traveling with my wife only.

Looking forward for your valuable suggestion.

The above itinerary is a pretty good combination of culture, beaches, and city life, but if you would prefer to be based in the one place (Hobart) for the whole 3 days, you can spend 1 day exploring Hobart, and pick two day trips into the surrounding region. One great day trip from Hobart would be Bruny Island (great for nature and sea beaches). Your other day could be doing Freycinet National Park, like I’ve mentioned above, but just not staying overnight there (it’s 2 and a half hours from Hobart each way).

Tasmania is very safe to travel via rental car, driving is the best way to get around, and there’s very minimal traffic on the roads. Just watch out for wildlife on the roads if you’re driving at night, but during the day it’s not a problem.

Great Barrier reef is very expensive because it’s a top tourist destination. If you’re only spending 2 days on the Gold Coast though you probably won’t have much time to take in the GBR anyway, as it’s quite far away from the Gold Coast. From the Gold Coast though you can take a day trip to Moreton Island which is a beautiful spot and has a lot of fish and a shipwreck for kayaking / snorkelling.

Hope that helps!

Safe travels :)

we are planning 19 people from Melbourne to Tasmania for 2 nights during April 2020

What is your suggestion?

Hi Tina, what suggestions are you looking for? The above itinerary would work for groups as well as solo travelers :)

Hi Meg, I’m planning a trip with my boyfriend at the end of the year, he can only get away for 3 days inclusive of weekend. I have read your suggestions. I was thinking of basing ourselves in Hobart, hiring a car and driving around to save the hassle of changing hotels. or shall we base ourselves somewhere else? What would your recommendation be for a quick relaxing getaway. He is not much of a bushwalker.

Hi Singhy, awesome that you’ll be visiting Tasmania soon :) Basing yourselves in Hobart and hiring a car is a great idea if you’re not keen on changing hotels. Ultimately, there are a tonne of really great day trips that you can do within a couple of hours of the city, so you can definitely pick one place for the 3 days and set yourself up in a comfortable base.

Still spend day 1 in Hobart as per my above suggestions; for day trips on days 2 and 3, a lot of the typical attractions I would recommend do include a bit of bushwalking (Russell Falls, Mt. Field National Park), but if you’re not big walkers you could spend a day exploring Bruny Island (you drive the car onto a 20 minute ferry), and there are beautiful beaches there to explore.

If you’re interested in history, Port Arthur is a historic site that’s an hour and a half from Hobart – it’s one of the original Australian Convict Sites created by the British Empire in the 18th and 19th centuries and you can walk around the crumbling ruins of the old prisons.

If you’re interested in museums you could spend a relaxing day around Hobart jumping between places like MONA and the Hobart Museum & Art Gallery. Or if you love wildlife, but without the bushwalking element, Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary is the place to go, and you can see the Tasmanian Devil, koalas and wombats up close.

Hope that helps! Have an amazing trip down :)

I am planning for a Tasmania trip for 3 days 4 nights in Jan 2020 I wanted to follow Day 1 – Drive to Cradle mountains and stay there Day 2 – visit the Bays and Wildlife park and return to Hobart Day 3 (Sat)- Sight seeing around Hobart and visit Salamanca market

Do you think it makes sense ? Can you suggest any good budget accommodation at Cradle mountains ?

Hi Dipanjan, that sounds like a great itinerary :)

From the sounds of it, I’m guessing you’re driving in on Spirit of Tasmania? If so, Devonport to Cradle Mountain is roughly 2 hours, you can do a bit of a detour for breakfast that day if you’re so inspired, and stop at the Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm which is a great foodie stop (big breakfasts and awesome pancakes with raspberries from the farm).

Re Cradle mountain accommodation, we’ve stayed at The Cradle Mountain Hotel, and that was a great experience – here’s a link to the review I wrote if you’re interested: https://www.mappingmegan.com/cradle-mountain-hotel-review-tasmania/

If you’re then heading from Cradle up to Bay of Fires, thats a 4 & a half hour drive, you could do a 40 minute detour to Liffey Falls along the route which is a truly incredible waterfalls in the region.

For budget accommodation for Bay of Fires, most people stay in St Helens though we stayed in Scamander, and there are great safari style glamping tents at Scamander Sanctuary Holiday Park. This is right on a BEAUTIFUL ocean beach (like a 5 minute walk anyway), and you’re only an hour from Bay of Fires, so makes for a good base for easy exploring of Binalong Bay.

As you’re coming down the East Coast to Hobart, I thought the stop at East Coast Nature World in Bicheno was well worth an hour – great wildlife park with gorgeous tassie devils and you can watch the feeding.

The drive down to Hobart is about 3 & a half hours. It’s a lot of stuff to pack into 3 days and you’ll have a lot of driving and a very packed itinerary – with summer hours and long days though you should be able to pull it off, just understand that it will be a packed itinerary (sunset in January is around 8 – 9 pm so you get a lot of daylight which is nice for packing stuff in!).

Hope you have an amazing trip! XX

Hello Megan, Can you help me build an itinerary for two and a half days that does not involve renting a car , however I would still like to see the Freycinet National Park ? Is uber an option ? Also what hotels and restaurants do you highly recommend ?

Hi Sasmrita :)

If you’re not planning on renting a car, you can easily fill two days exploring Hobart, or spend one day exploring Hobart and then jump on a day tour for the other; I would recommend Pennicott Wilderness Journeys, they have some fabulous day tours that leave Hobart in the morning, and bus you over to explore Bruny Island, or the Tasman Peninsula (I just did the Tasman Peninsula cruise tour and it was incredible!)

Their website is https://www.pennicottjourneys.com.au/

Freycinet is two and a half hours drive from Hobart, so I don’t think uber would be an option unfortunately. They probably would do it, but you’d be looking at $277 – $370 for just a one way ride, at which point you could rent a vehicle for around $60. (That’s based on a quote I just did up quickly off the Uber website).

So I would explore Hobart for the two days, or do one day and look at Pennicott Wilderness Journey’s for a tour for the second. Look up images of the Tasman Peninsula, because it’s just as stunning as Freycinet, so you wouldn’t be disappointed :)

Re hotels and restaurants, what’s the budget range you’re looking for? ie Budget / mid range / splurge? Easier for me to recommend knowing that info, because otherwise I might recommend places that aren’t right for you :)

Hope you enjoy your time in Tasmania!

Hi Megan, thanks for this. Is very helpful. Just wondering if this is possible to do without a car, any bus service that you would recommend?. I drive in the other side of the road and I’m bit scared of start trying there.

Hi Loreto, so glad our post was helpful for you :)

Buses for getting around the State are honestly pretty limited, but check out http://www.tassielink.com.au – if you’re wanting to go from Hobart to Freycinet, you can catch a Hobart – Bicheno bus, and then connect onto one that goes from Bicheno – Coles Bay. The 737 leaves Hobart city at 4 pm and gets into Bicheno at 7pm – it should cost between $35 – $40 AUD.

The other option would be doing day tours from Hobart – http://www.wineglassbay.tours runs day tours up to Freycinet – it’s a long day to do it this way, but it’s an option if you’re not planning to drive. Worth noting that I haven’t personally taken one of their tours, but they seem to get excellent Tripadvisor ratings :)

Looks great! We’re traveling to Hobart for the first time, staying 3 nights 4 days.

Do you think going from Hobart to Freycinet and back can be done in one day? We’d love to hike wineglass bay, but not sure if it can ask be done in a day?

Hi Samantha :) It’s logistically possible, the drive from Hobart to Freycinet is 2 and a half hours, so if you left around 7 am for instance, you’d get there by 10 am.

To then do the hike, it’s roughly 45 minutes up to the lookout, roughly a 1 and a half hour return. To continue walking down to the beach and back again (from the lookout) the whole hike to and from the carpark would be around 2 hours return (without spending any time at the beach though so plan for extra leisure time).

Keep in mind the heat of the day, which at the moment in summer is around 2-3 pm. If you got there by 10, spent 3-4 hours on the hike + time at the beach itself, and then started the drive back by 2 pm you’d miss the heat of the day, and you’d get back to Hobart around 5 pm in time for dinner :) Right now, during summer, it’s light out until around 8 pm. As you get further into January / Feb though this starts falling back.

It’s a big day and it’s a lot of driving, so you’d need to make sure you pack food, plenty of water, and sunscreen (because a long drive back when you’re sunburned is terrible – been there done that lol!!)

Hope that helps! Xx

3 Day Tasmania Tour with Cradle Mountain Itinerary

Let’s kick off our trip in a way that you’ll never forget our beautiful Tassie! We start the tour by travelling through the beautiful wilderness of the World Heritage listed Mount Field National Park. On the way, you’ll get to discover the picturesque waters of Russell Falls and wander between some of the tallest trees on the planet. Keep your eyes peeled for Tasmanian Pademelons as you go.

The next stop this day is Lake St Clair, Australia’s deepest lake, where you might be able to catch a glimpse of an elusive platypus, if you’re lucky. From there, we’ll take you up Franklin-Gordon Wild River National Park with magnific rainforests and mountains. And before we go to Strahan, where we will sleep for the next two nights, we make a stop at Queenstown. Here you can learn more about Tassie’s mining history.

On the second day, we’ll explore the wild wild West Coast of Tasmania. We’ll head to Tarkine rainforest and Tasmania’s highest waterfall, Montezuma Falls. After you’ve refuelled, we’ll make a pitstop at the Henty Dunes, where you can marvel at stunning views of the Southern Ocean. Instead of a visit to the dunes you can discover the Gordon River by joining the cruise (own expense). Next is Ocean Beach where you can take in some of the freshest air in the world! And eventually we will go back to Strahan for another nice night of sleep.

On the final day, we’ll head to the jutting heights of Cradle Mountain! Here, you’ll have the chance to take a hike or explore in your own time. Walk to Dove Lake Circuit or for a more adventurous activity hike to Marion’s Lookout. On our way back to Launceston (our final destination) we stop in Sheffield, one of the most creative and arty spots in Tasmania. We’ll then finish our tour in Launceston for some traditional Tasmanian tasty treats and enjoy the landscape of Cataract Gorge that sits in the heart of the city.

Tasmania tours, testimonials.

"This was a great tour and made exceptional by our guide/driver Morgan who has a vast knowledge of Tasmania & it's history & was engaged and caring with our group. I would highly recommend Fun Tassie Tours to anyone. We met 2 other Fun Tassie coaches & their guide/drivers who were friendly, particularly 'Santa Claus' I think his name is Dean. Thanks Morgan for an unforgettable tour & sharing Tasmania's history as I am a lover of history."

Well where do you start, this tour is the best thing we could have done to see as much as possible in a short time frame. Everything was very well organised, meals, accommodation, walks, pit stops and free time in each location. Big thank you to Dean and the occasional meet ups with Morgan. Both full of knowledge off Tasmania, history, fauna and to present day. We learnt so much. Totally enjoyed every moment off this tour. Big 👍 for Dean who made this tour so memorable and special. Thank you

The Ultimate 3 Day Tasmania Road Trip Itinerary

To be honest, when my sister and I were first laying the groundwork for our big trip to Australia, Tasmania wasn’t even on our radar. I am ashamed to admit that we actually thought it was a different country entirely. It wasn’t until we were actually throwing together a loose itinerary and planning our excursions that I revisited the idea of the tiny island 240 kilometers south of mainland Australia, which, it turns out, is actually Australia’s southernmost state . Oh.

Upon a quick consultation with Meredith and a cursory glance at ticket prices, we were officially planning our stay in Australia’s most exotic destination. And it does seem more exotic, somehow, that sparsely populated, mountainous, isolated island, roughly the size of Ireland, often overlooked by travelers anxious to experience the renown of Sydney or the night life of the Gold Coast.

Tasmania is dreamy, it is scenic, it is full of opportunities for adventure. The air quality is some of the best on the entire planet because of the state’s dedication to maintaining its World Heritage-worthy wilderness. And it is slow-paced, so you’ll fit right in if you want to explore the island leisurely. However, if you only have a short amount of time, here is my best advice for seeing all the best parts of this enchanting state.

Getting Around

Depending on your ability to analyze context clues, you can probably guess that the best way of getting around Tasmania, by far , is via car (hence the post title, The Ultimate Tasmania Road Trip). Renting a car is incredibly affordable right from the Hobart Airport, ranging from $30 to $50 US per day, depending on what size car you get and how early you make your booking.

For some reason, despite paying for a compact car, the Hobart Airport decided to gift me an upgrade: a giant, non-maneuverable white SUV, the dashboard over which I could barely see. This is exactly what happened when I rented a car in Ireland; the clerk flashed a megawatt smile as he handed me the keys to what I figured was going to be my grisly demise, so pleased that he was able to do some good for a customer. SUVs are not good. SUVs with a steering wheel on the wrong side trying to navigate the narrowest roads known to man are not good. I was terrified, especially knowing that this time, I had precious cargo in the form of a 22-year-old sister. But, naturally, I smiled, thanked the clerk for his generosity, and prayed that our untimely deaths-by-car-flipping were not forthcoming.

Obviously, we survived, as I am not typing this from beyond the grave. If I can navigate the roads of Tasmania without incident, I who crashed my car within months of getting my driver’s license 10 years ago, I’m convinced that anyone can do it.

Day 1 – Hobart

Drive up Mount Wellington for the sunrise

Mount Wellington is the first thing to come up when you Google “what to do in Hobart,” and super touristy spots are not necessarily high on my list when I visit a new place. But the thing about Tasmania in general is that it just isn’t that touristy. Elbowing foreigners in crowds in an attempt to get a great photo just doesn’t happen. You walk through the center of Hobart (or Hofart, as we affectionately referred to it) and it almost feels like home.

We were in Tasmania in May, which is the pioneering month of Australia’s backwards winter. It was frigid, which probably helped to drive tourists away, so we weren’t complaining. We woke before the sun on our first day in Hobart, climbing, with effort, into the seats of what had to be the tallest SUV in the state, and headed up towards the peak of Mount Wellington.

Halfway up, the road was blocked due to ice, and we figured it was probably closed for the season. We were disappointed, but we still stood at the side of the road, admiring the view as the sun peered over the horizon.

We were about to get back in the car and drive back down the mountain when a couple sped by us in their cute, compact, in-no-danger-of-flipping-over car, up the mountain road. Meredith and I looked at each other, figuring they’d see the road closure and be back within minutes. We waited and waited, took a few more photos of us looking off into the distance pensively, and the couple had yet to return. We ran to our big rig, hauled ourselves inside, and drove up the mountain, rejoicing when we saw the road had opened as the world brightened.

And thank Jesus we waited. Despite gale force winds that bit at our cheeks and knotted our hair, the view from the top of the mountain was the most breath-taking view I have ever seen in my entire life. That’s a bold statement, I realize, but I am confident in its sincerity. Unless it is seriously icy, do not, under any circumstances, miss the sunrise from this spot. It was like heaven.

Breakfast at Jackman and McRoss

If you want to grab a bite at a place that is popular with locals, Jackman and McRoss is the place. A bakery offering a wide variety of breads, pastries, and hot drinks, it turned out to be the perfect place to relax and get a taste of the mellow and laid-back lifestyle enjoyed by the people of Hobart. Meredith and I split this pastry, called a “scroll,” sat by the window, and people watched away an hour.

MONA (Museum of Old and New Art)

I was a bit hesitant about MONA, considering my apprehension when it comes to ultra modern art (and, frankly, my inability to understand it), and the fact that the museum came with a $28 AUS price tag. Having lived in DC for almost two years, the land of free museums, I generally avoid museums with entry fees, but all the hype led us to believe that MONA was too good to pass up.

And actually, it was. It was just so damn weird. There was an exhibit made up solely of over 70 sculpted vaginas, there were traditional paintings, interactive exhibits, an entire room with lights that flickered in time with your heart beat. There was a room with a hundred screens of people clad in 80s garb singing Madonna in unison, there was art from Ancient Egypt. Some of the exhibits made me feel sick to my stomach. It was a full-body experience, and I would implore anyone not to miss it for the world (and to set aside at least a few hours to enjoy the museum to its fullest). The MONA is truly one of a kind. And the view from its terrace is nice, too.

Scallop pies at Salamanca Market

If possible, try to plan your trip so that you’re staying in Hobart on a Saturday. This is the only day that the stalls of Salamanca Market are open for business, selling everything from fresh produce to Tasmanian-made chocolates, handmade clothing and jewelry, and, most importantly, scallop pies.

Smith’s Pies has been making pies every Saturday for over 35 years, offering fresh juicy scallops in a flaky puff pastry crust. As the biggest seafood lover in my life, my sister almost orgasmed over this pie. It’s what Salamanca is known for, so be sure to get your little mitts on one.

Walk along the water

Hobart’s waterfront is absolutely beautiful, especially down at Battery Point, the city’s oldest suburb and home to many extravagant houses and apartment blocks. Talk about bougie. Because Hobart is such a small city, it is unlikely that there will be many people walking the streets, so hanging out down at the water makes for a very peaceful afternoon.

Flights at Cascade Brewing

Meredith and I aren’t ones to miss a good brewery, so it is only natural that we tracked down the one brewery in all of Tasmania and set up shop. Cascade was actually established in 1824, making it the oldest continually operating brewery in Australia.

When you first arrive, the building looms over you, soaring into the clouds like an old, gigantic, haunted factory. Across the street is Cascade’s brewpub, where you can sit inside or on the patio and enjoy a selection of their beers. They consider themselves to be a pioneer of the craft beer renaissance, so you can’t miss their fruity, barrel-aged Northwest Sour Ale during your visit. Many of the beers they offer are only available on the island of Tasmania.

If you’re lucky, the bartenders will host a beer pouring competition, where you get to test your pouring skills. I will tell you a lot of people embarrassed themselves as they walked away with a glass of one part beer and 8 parts foam, wearing sheepish, shit-eating grins on their faces.

Day 2 – Freycinet National Park

Breakfast at the Machine Laundry Cafe

Meredith and I, despite being the least hipster-like human beings on the planet, appreciate novel and unconventional concepts, especially when it comes to our dining experiences. When we heard about the Machine Laundry Cafe, where people bring their dirty clothing to launder at one of their many machines, and then meander over to the dining room for a hearty breakfast, we knew we had to go. Though a little pricey, we found our meals to be more than worth it. Especially that bacon. OH BOY.

Ice cream at the Pondering Frog Cafe

We ran across the Pondering Frog Cafe purely by chance; it sat on the side of the road between Hobart and the Freycinet Peninsula and the friendly looking frog was enough to make me slam on the brakes and swerve into its deserted parking lot. The staff was almost too friendly, and we enjoyed a cold snack as a way to break the drive up the eastern coast of the island in half.

Explore Freycinet

Freycinet National Park is a 125 kilometer and 3 hour drive from downtown Hobart, and as Tasmania’s first national park, it earns its place as my favorite place in the state. The park consists of stretches of the pink granite peaks that make up the Hazard Mountains, bright blue bays in secluded coves, and white sand beaches, as well as tons of hiking trails of varying lengths and difficulties. Entry into the park for a 24 hour pass is $24 per vehicle. Coles Bay is a small town right outside of the park’s limits that is a great place to base yourself out of for the night after a long day of exploring.

Here are some of our favorite spots in the park, but the visitor center will provide you with a map and help point you to your own favorites.

Honeymoon Bay

Honeymoon Bay is part of Coles Bay, and it is sequestered near the front of the park. It is popular for picnicking and snorkeling, but we just sat there and enjoyed the gorgeous views over the granite mountains and the quiet and solitude that came with it.

Wineglass Bay

Wineglass Bay is perhaps Freycinet’s most well-known landmark, as it was rated among the world’s ten most beautiful beaches, and for good reason. It is ridiculously blue and perfectly framed by the rippling summits in the distance. I am an obsessive freak when it comes to nature. There are several different hikes that will allow you access to this view:

• The Wineglass Bay Lookout: Distance: 3 kilometers Time: 1 – 1.5 hours from the Wineglass Bay Car Park and back Though the hike is a little steep in some places, it is the least strenuous of all the climbs around this particular bay. Meredith and I still ended up ripping off our sweatshirts halfway through as sweat poured down our backs, but we are naturally sweaty people. The view is more than worth getting a little stinky.
• Hazards Beach: Distance: 11 kilometers Time: 4 – 5 hours from the Wineglass Bay Car Park and back This circuit takes you through a lush forest, offering a good view of other Freycinet bays, and then spits you out on Hazards Beach, which will lead you right to the turquoise water of Wineglass Bay. You’ll then climb up to the Wineglass Bay Lookout and head back down to the car park from there.
• Mount Amos: Distance: 4 kilometers Time: 3 hours from the Wineglass Bay Car Park and back This trek is not for the faint-hearted, as it requires a lot of scrambling and can be slippery and treacherous in wet conditions, but with some strong will and strong biceps, you will be treated to a stunning bird’s eye view of the bay. Mount Amos is the highest peak in the Hazards, and there is no better place to see the park, as long as you have some decent hiking shoes with you.

Day 3 – Cradle Mountain National Park

Cataract Gorge Reserve

Cataract Gorge Reserve is a naturally formed river gorge that is literally right outside the city of Launceston. I would recommend staying in Cole’s Bay outside of Freycinet the night before, or driving into Launceston and staying there overnight instead for quick access to your next destination.

There are several walking trails, the world’s longest single-span chair lift, and a suspension bridge over the gorge. Meredith and I were pleasantly surprised by its unassuming beauty. We were also surprised at the number of peacocks just walking around through the park casually, as if gigantic peacocks wandering wild right next to the public toilets is totally normal and not at all shocking for visitors who have never seen a peacock up close, especially strolling through Baltimore, Maryland, USA.

See the Big Tasmanian Devil at Trowunna Wildlife Park

Like many people, I’m sure, all I knew about Tasmania was what I saw on Looney Tunes growing up. There was a Tasmanian Devil who spun around like a tornado and a roadrunner and lots of anvils falling from the sky. Something like that. I didn’t even know Tasmanian devils were real until semi-recently, I am sorry to even admit. And at first I figured they were these gargantuan, horrifying monsters who will swirl you into next Tuesday.

Well, they are certainly not gargantuan. They are actually almost cute. They’re about the size and shape of my black chihuahua Stella, only they’re marsupials, have more teeth and stronger jaws, and prey on live wombats, devouring every last scrap of carcass in their wake.

Tasmanian devils have been woefully misunderstood. In the early 1900s, they were seen as a threat to livestock and hunted, which caused them to become endangered and protected. It wasn’t until the 1940s that scientists concluded that the original concerns that the devils were a vicious threat was mostly overestimated.

Between Cataract Gorge Reserve and Cradle Mountain National Park is Trowunna Wildlife Park, an 82 acre sanctuary for Tasmania’s devils (which are now only found on the island of Tasmania). They do great work rehabilitating injured animals and providing a safe place for the endangered devils, and it is worth a quick tour if you have the time. Plus, the park is home to one of Tasmania’s only “big things,” a series of large sculptures all over Australia that have become a cult phenomenon over the years, as well as the catalyst for road trips through the country.

Explore Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park

Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park is another beauty that shouldn’t be missed. It is part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Site, and is rich with ancient rainforest and glacial lakes. If I am honest, the drive is a bit of a bitch, with winding mountain roads and endless blind curves that, somehow, oncoming large trucks are always taking at the exact same time you are. You also have to be cautious as the roads run through remote wilderness, and you want to avoid accidentally turning an adorable pademelon into bloody roadkill.

The entry fee for Cradle Mountain is $16.50 per adult, which is good for a 24 hour pass. Passes can be picked up at the visitor center at the entrance of the park.

If you want an easy day walk that offers incredible views of the iconic towering Cradle Mountain itself, the Dove Lake circuit is the perfect option. You can drive right up to the lake and park in the car park before venturing off. It was absolutely freezing the day we were there, but it didn’t stop us from spending several hours and six kilometers circling the lake. This hike is not strenuous in the slightest, but they recommend that you bring all sorts of hiking gear (think hiking sticks, hiking boots, rain gear, food and water). We wore sneakers and did just fine without any freeze dried backpacking meals (we did have a packet of hickory smoked almonds, which tasted so freakishly and nauseatingly meaty that they made us queasy and we ended up shoving them into the bottom of our bag until we got to New Zealand).

The walk around Dove Lake is among Tasmania’s “60 Great Short Walks,” and it includes a venture through the tranquil Ballroom Forest and past the adorable, frequently photographed boat house. We were greeted by fog and clouds, but near the end, the skies opened up and we were treated to a really pleasant sunset. This park was a highlight, not only of Tasmania, but of our time in Australia.

Tasmania is probably one of the most unique places I’ve ever gotten the chance to visit. It is secluded, laid-back, and brimming with impossibly beautiful landscapes filled with rare plants and animals, many of which are native only to the tiny island state. If you’re planning a trip to Australia and excluding at least a few days in Taz, you’re only robbing yourself of an opportunity for a once-in-a-lifetime road trip. Just be sure to forego the hickory smoked almonds.

this was such a delight to read!!!! heading there next month and going to use this as a rough guide, thank you guys! x

Departing Hobart/nipaluna, we quickly begin to venture into the rugged Western Wilds. Our first stop in the rainforests of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area is to see the beautiful Russell Falls in Mount Field National Park. As we continue west and climb into the alpine region, we’ll stop at Australia’s deepest freshwater lake, Lake St Clair. Scenes of mountains and buttongrass plains abound as we travel through the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park and stop to see the tannin-coloured waters of the Franklin River and take a short walk into the lovely Nelson Falls. As we near the historic mining town, Queenstown, take in the impressive views of the Iron Blow Lookout, Horsetail Falls and Mt Lyell. We’ll enjoy a group dinner and settle in for the night.

This fantastic river cruise includes a guided boardwalk through the UNESCO World Heritage rainforest as well as a guided tour of the harshest penal settlement in Australia at Sarah Island. You’ll cruise through the treacherous Hells Gates which is a narrow passageway into Macquarie Harbour and enjoy lunch aboard the ship featuring Tasmanian produce. See the workings of a huon pine sawmill to further appreciate the history of this picturesque town, before departing for an incredibly scenic drive through to Tullah.

Travelling north we’ll stop at Waratah to see the lovely cascading falls then continue through Hellyer’s Gorge to the North West Coast of Tasmania. At Stanley you can take in the views of The Nut, the volcanic plug that sits proudly out to sea and provides sweeping views of the coast. We’ll make our way to the far North West Coast as far as ‘The Edge of the World’ at Arthur River. This region forms part of the wild Tarkine/takayna coast, and to Tasmanian aboriginal people/palawa, it is a deeply spiritual place. We’ll enjoy dinner together this evening at the comfortable lodgings at Tall Timbers.

Overnight: Tall Timbers

Today offers a deeper experience of the Tarkine. This ancient rainforest is the second largest cool temperate rainforest in the world. It is a wilderness area that holds ancient relics of animals and plants as well as palawa indigenous heritage sites from thousands of years ago. At Lake Chisolm we’ll take an easy walk among moss-cloaked myrtle forest to see the flooded limestone sinkhole and keep an eye out for platypus. Sumac Lookout offers breathtaking forest views across the Arthur River, and Trowutta Arch is an extraordinary geological wonder you’ll always remember. Returning to the North West Coast, we’ll explore several seaside stops along the way, including a visit to the idyllic Boat Harbour Beach, Table Cape, and the town of Penguin, before arriving at our accommodation in Devonport. Join us for a group dinner and then feel free to relax this evening.

Your guide will help you make the most of a diversity of options to experience around the park, such as looking for wombats at Ronny Creek and visiting Waldheim Chalet to learn about the Park’s history. You may wish to walk the outstanding Dove Lake Circuit – this 6km walk around the glacial lake beneath the peaks of Cradle Mountain is considered the best short walk in Tasmania. Before arriving in Launceston, we’ll admire the colourful murals in the town of Sheffield. Explore Australia’s second oldest city tonight at your leisure.

Visit Launceston’s stunning Cataract Gorge which is a terrific place to spot wallabies. We’ll drive to the East Coast via St Columba Falls.

Clear waters, white sands and orange boulders are classic scenes from the Bay of Fires region, and you’ll love strolling along these pristine beaches. Tonight’s destination is the charming coastal town of Bicheno, home of the little penguin. Dinner is included this evening, then you may wish to wander down to the blowhole or to the lookout for views over the Tasman Sea.

Freycinet is Tassie’s East Coast jewel, and we make sure to maximise your time here. See the stunning Hazards pink granite mountains from Honeymoon Bay.

Meet a variety of Tasmanian wildlife such as quolls, birds, wombats, kangaroos, and Tasmanian devils at Bonorong Wildlfe Sanctuary.

Enjoy seeing the heritage buildings before we make our way back to Hobart via the scenic winery region, the Coal River Valley. This afternoon, we’ll share with you some of our favourite spots in Hobart’s Wellington Park. Known fondly by locals as “The Mountain”, Mount Wellington/kunanyi is a diverse natural reserve with several trails to see fern glades, eucalyptus forests, dramatic rock columns, boulder fields, and spectacular lookouts. Tonight, unwind in one of the city’s historic pubs or restaurants.

Today we’ll discover the highlights of Bruny Island. After a short drive from Hobart, we’ll take the ferry across the D’Entrecastreaux Channel to the island. At the isthmus between North and South Bruny, we’ll climb the 279 steps to the top of Truganini Lookout. We’ll visit South Bruny National Park and take in the incredible coastline at Cape Bruny Lighthouse. At Adventure Bay, we’ll try our luck spotting white wallabies, and finish our Bruny experience by visiting a few Bruny shops where you might like to try locally sourced and crafted products like oysters, cheese, and beers. We’ll return to Hobart where you may wish to explore the historic Salamanca and waterfront area.

At the Port Arthur Historic Site, learn about the harsh life of convicts from the 1800’s at Australia’s best-preserved convict settlement. Wander around the preserved ruins and colonial gardens and take a short harbour cruise to appreciate this open-air museum and UNESCO World Heritage Listed Area.
