5-Day Tasmania's West and East Coast Tour from Launceston

An early start means we are the first to the Wineglass Bay lookout, beating the crowds and the heat for that postcard photo. Relax on the secluded beach or choose the more challenging Mt. Amos or a beach walk. We continue our journey south passing the coastal villages of Swansea and Orford before arriving back to Hobart.

We leave Hobart and drive through Derwent Valley – traveling east to west across the island. You’ll see the beautiful Russell Falls, walk among Mt. Field National Park Tall Trees, and visit Australia’s deepest freshwater lake, Lake St. Clair. Explore the pristine Franklin-Gordon Wild River National Park and end the day in Strahan.

In the untouched wilderness of Tasmania’s West Coast, we will explore the shifting sands of Henty Dunes. Then, we continue into the Tarkine Rainforest and walk to Tasmania’s highest waterfall – Montezuma Falls. Or you can choose to join the world-famous Gordon River Cruise (optional, at your own expense).

Around 950m above sea level is the World Heritage site Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, where you can choose a walk to suit you. With an extensive range of tracks, stroll around Dove Lake or challenge yourself with a hike to Marion’s Lookout. A short drive takes us through Sheffield, the ‘town of murals’ and then to Launceston.
