Meet & Greet & Welcome Meal

Day 1

Welcome to Tasmania! We know flying days can be a lot of effort and with people arriving at different times, we’ll be spending the first night in Hobart so you relax and recharge before an incredible week ahead.

Check into the YHA in Hobart from 2pm and later that afternoon say hello to your Welcome to Travel host who’ll be joining you and your fellow group travellers for a meet & greet presentation. We’ll be giving you a run down of everything to expect from the week, as well as a chance for you to get to know the group you’ll be spending the best week of your life with!

After the meet & greet, you’ll head out for dinner together and get an early night to get ready for tomorrow’s adventures…

From here, the afternoon is yours. You can continue exploring Hobart at your own pace or join an optional trip to MONA, one of the most unique and talked-about museums in the world. Whether you’re into art, architecture or just want the wild ferry ride there… it’s always an experience.

In the evening, we’ll bring everyone back together for an included group dinner — the perfect chance to swap stories, enjoy some Tassie flavours and get excited for what’s still to come.
