Top Experiences

Mount Field National Park
Walk beneath some of the tallest trees in the world to Russell Falls, perhaps the best waterfall in Tassie? Keep your eyes peeled for platypus.
Franklin Gordon Wild Rivers
This is untouched wilderness that feels far away from Australia’s golden beaches. Stroll along the wild Franklin River, surrounded by dense rainforests.
Cradle Mountain
One of Tassie’s most famous landscapes, hike up to Marions Lookout for views across the National Park. Or meander more leisurely around Dove Lake.
Bay of Fires
Famous for its orange lichen-covered granite boulders and impossibly clear turquoise water, this beach is completely unique.
Tasmanian Wildlife Sanctuary
Get up close to Tasmania’s most famous native animal at a feeding session that’s equal parts fascinating and ferocious.
Freycinet National Park
Today’s the day for Tassie’s most famous lookout. Hike up above Wineglass Bay then spend time on the beach itself. Well worth the climb back up.
Great Eastern Drive
Expect ocean views around every bend, with plenty of opportunities to stop and take it all in. From coastal roads to wineries, this is the best road in Tassie.
Cape Hauy Track
Wind through forests and along coastal cliffs, this 4-hour hike makes up the final leg of the renowned Three Capes Track and is spectacular.

Forget cookie-cutter hotels – this tour beds down in some of Tasmania’s most scenic corners, from wild west coast lakesides to secluded bush cabins and laid-back east coast towns. Here’s where you’ll rest your head each night.

Your Tasmania Itinerary

Waterfalls, Wilderness & the Wild West

An early start from Hobart sees us heading deep into the wild west coast of Tasmania. After passing through the town of New Norfolk, we explore Mount Field National Park by walking amongst some of the tallest trees on the planet, standing beneath the beautiful Russell Falls, and searching for platypus. Our drive passes through the Tasmania Wilderness World Heritage Area with a stop at Franklin Gordon Wild Rivers National Park where we’ll stroll along the Franklin River and under Nelson Falls. We’ll then explore the eerie historical mining town of Queenstown before reaching Tullah in the afternoon. You’ll have free time to explore the beautiful lake Rosebery.

Wombats, Bush Cabins & Campfire Nights

Our day starts with a scenic drive though temperate rainforest and arrival at the spectacular Cradle Mountain National Park. Get your cameras ready because we’ll be spotting wild wombats before hiking the popular Dove Lake Circuit or Marions Lookout for the adventurous. An afternoon drive then brings us to our secluded accommodation nestled in the bush, providing a great opportunity to see Wildlife in Tasmania such as Wallabies, Wombats, Quolls, Birds and more. Enjoy an BBQ dinner with the group (included), campfire and marshmallows.

Fire-Red Coastlines & Devilish Encounters

We start our day with a scenic drive to visit Bay of Fires where you’ll get to enjoy the many beautiful beaches it has to offer. Explore the beach, rock hop amongst the iconic orange lichen covered granite boulders and enjoy the crystal clear turquoise water. In the afternoon, we stop in at a wildlife sanctuary to watch a ferocious Tasmanian Devil feeding experience. We finish our day with a drive to Bicheno (known as the next Bryon Bay) arriving early to explore the blowhole, coastal loop walk and whales lookout. You also have the option to go on a Little Penguin guided tour at dusk (pre-booking required).

Postcard Beaches & Scenic Drives

A short drive from Bicheno sees us arrive at Freycinet National Park – home of the famous Wineglass Bay. We have the option of hiking Wineglass Bay Lookout and Beach, or Hazards Circuit or Mount Amos (weather dependent). We then stop in at Cape Tourville before completing the Great Eastern Drive back to Hobart with a lunch stop at a winery with ocean views (lunch/wine at own expense).

A Wild Island Escape

Set off on a breathtaking ferry to the remote and enchanting Maria Island, where untouched wilderness and rich history await. Spend the day immersed in nature as you explore Maria Island National Park on foot, guided by an expert who brings the landscape to life.

Wander to the remarkable Fossil Cliffs, where ancient marine history is etched into dramatic rock faces, and marvel at the swirling patterns and colours of the iconic Painted Cliffs—one of Tasmania’s most photogenic natural wonders. Stop in the historic township of Darlington and learn fascinating stories of the island’s past. As you explore, keep an eye out for abundant wildlife. You may spot wombats grazing, pademelons darting through the bush, along with wallabies, kangaroos, echidnas, and a variety of birdlife in their natural habitat.

Sea Cliffs & Salamanca Sendoff

Step into one of Australia’s most dramatic coastal landscapes on an unforgettable journey to the Tasman Peninsula—a region famed for its towering sea cliffs, wild ocean views, and raw natural beauty.

Your adventure begins in the heart of Tasman National Park at the pristine shores of Fortescue Bay. From here, set out on a rewarding 4-hour return hike to Cape Hauy, a must-do experience for active explorers. This iconic trail forms the final section of the renowned Three Capes Track, guiding you through diverse landscapes of forest, coastal heath, and rugged clifftops.

As you walk, the scenery unfolds in breathtaking fashion with panoramic ocean vistas, dramatic rock formations, and the untamed power of the Tasman Sea crashing far below.

After your hike, unwind back at Fortescue Bay with a well-deserved break by the beach—perfect for a refreshing rest and reflection on the day’s adventure.

The experience continues into the afternoon as you explore more of the Tasman Peninsula, with opportunities to sample some of Tasmania’s celebrated local produce.

Your day concludes with a scenic return to Hobart at approximately 5pm, where you’ll say goodbye to your fellow travellers. Airport drop-offs are available, or if you’re staying a little longer, don’t miss the vibrant Salamanca Markets—a Saturday favourite showcasing the best of local food, art, and culture.

Officially for all ages, but specifically catered towards anyone aged 18-39 who wants to see Australia properly. Whether you’re on a Working Holiday Visa, travelling as a tourist or just looking for the adventure of a lifetime, this tour is built for people who want to explore more of Australia then just the East Coast.

Yes! Your guide will also be your driver for your time on tour. They’ll be there to bring the vibes, share their expert knowledge on the area and make sure you know what you’re doing. This is a fully guided group tour.

This tour runs a little bit differently and is run by our local trusted partner in the area. Group dynamics change for every departure, so while there’s a good chance you’ll be traveling alongside other Welcome to Travellers, it isn’t guaranteed. Not to worry though, we’ve done a strong vibe test, so if you’ve loved our tours, you’ll love this tour too!

Absolutely! This tour is designed for solo travellers so you’ll meet other backpackers wanting to explore more of Australia just like you. Your guide is there to help bring the group together and make sure everyone on the tour is having a great time!

We’ve partnered with our expert local partners to bring you the best group experience to explore further afield in Australia. The guys here are total experts, they know these places like the back of their hands, so you’ll be with the best people to explore this stunning part of Australia.

All your accommodations, heaps of amazing activities and some meals are included in the tour. Please check the itinerary above for more details.

Group trips work best when everyone chips in and helps along the way. Your guide will be in charge of all the important stuff, but when you’re cooking meals as a group, you’ll likely be asked to help with the cooking and washing up as you go. And other small tasks to help keep everything running smoothly – it’s a great way to bond with the group and make memories along the way.

These are active tours so a basic level of fitness will make it much more enjoyable! You don’t need to be an athlete but happy to walk/hike comfortably for 5-10km on a range of terrain and weather. Please check the itinerary above for more details of the tour and expected walking distances.

Please get in touch by emailing [email protected] to discuss any accessibility requirements, and we can chat through accessibility specifics for you and your tour choice and adapt as required where possible. We’d love to help you explore more of Australia.

You’ll meet in Hobart’s city centre bright and early on your first morning. As it’s such an early start, we highly recommend arriving a day or two early to explore the city of Hobart and be ready for your early morning pick up.

We’ll be staying in hostels, lakeside lodges, bush cabins and motels to make the most of our unique locations. All accommodation is multi–share, with private upgrades available upon request.

The best way to see Tasmania’s varied landscape is by hiking! We’ll be taking in a few hikes along the way, and shorter walks too throughout the 6 days. The longest hike option will be when we visit Cradle Mountain on Day 2. Don’t worry though, you don’t need hiking boots, a good pair of trainers will do you fine.

We hope so! We’ll try our best to spot wombats in Cradle Park National Park, and along the way we should hopefully see wallabies and if we keep our eyes peeled an echidna.

We’ll return to Hobart on our last day at around 5pm, if you’ve got a late-evening flight, airport drops off may be possible on request. However, if you’d like to stay an extra few nights to explore more of Hobart, we can get those organised for you.

Absolutely! We’re happy to help get you some extra nights organised. Get in touch with the community team by emailing [email protected] and we’d be happy to help book extra nights before and after your tour.

We can! We cater for vegetarians, vegan and gluten free – if you have more specific dietary requirements please let us know.

Nope! These are included in your tour price, so there’ll be no hidden extras along the way.

Payments plans are on request and depend on a few factors including how soon your trip is. If you’d like to set up a payment plan to book your tour, please reach out at [email protected] to see what options are available.

You’ll need to organise your own transport to arrive on time for your tour as unfortunately flights are pretty much the only thing we can’t book! We always suggest checking budget airline Jetstar or Virgin Airlines for the cheapest flights.

As you’ll be travelling to some remote parts of Australia, phone coverage can be patchy – we recommend letting friends and family know of your adventure, and then send them all the photos at the end of your travels. Your guide will have a satellite phone for emergencies.

Absolutely! This is your chance to tick off another Australian state with a great group of likeminded backpackers and a guide who’ll be with you the whole way. A well-planned itinerary, a great group, and genuinely good value – it doesn’t get much better than that.

With all your accommodation included, transport in a private mini-bus and an expert guide every step of the way, this tour is great value for money. When travelling to more remote parts of Australia a group tour always offers the best value.

Your accommodation, transport and some meals are already included, you’ll need to budget for most of your meals – you can keep costs down by cooking together in the hostel or can enjoy eating out as a group too. We recommend about $300-400 for your extra spends while on tour.
