Cần Quan Tâm
Cradle Mountain National Park
Sheffield
After leaving Launceston we stop in the quirky town of Sheffield, the town of murals, a unique open air art gallery. From there we head into the mountains along winding roads fringed by rainforest to arrive at Cradle Mountain National Park.
Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park
Cradle Mountain’s jagged silhouette is unmistakable. Standing 1545 metres above sea level amongst glacial lakes, alpine moorland and World Heritage Listed wilderness, this iconic mountain is pure untamed Tassie. On this full day tour, you’ll score front row seats. We begin our adventures with an easy guided walk to the stunning Pencil Pine Falls. A great introduction to the National Park. After that it’s onto our main walk of the day, Dove Lake Circuit, an easy 6km circumnavigation of the stunning lake that sits at the bottom of Cradle Mountain. The views are epic. If you’re up for a challenge, tackle the hike to Marion’s Lookout. An uphill climb rewards you with breathtaking views of Cradle Mountain, Little Horn, Smithies Peak and so many mirrored lakes.
Christmas Hill Raspberry Farm
Our last stop is Van Diemen’s Ice Creamery and Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm for well-earned treats crafted from the finest Tasmanian dairy and produce. A sweet end to a heavenly day.
Wineglass Bay and Freycinet National Park
Campbell Town
After leaving Launceston, we enjoy a short stop at the Georgian township of Campbell Town for supplies and convict relics.
Freycinet National Park
From there we head east, greeted by a spectacular view of The Hazards as we enter Freycinet National Park. A short-but-sensational 20 minute walk along the Cape Tourville Lighthouse circuit reveals 360 degree views before we hike to the Wineglass Bay lookout as a group.
Wineglass Bay Lookout
The 45 minute ascent to Wineglass Bay gets the heart pumping before revealing one of the best vistas in the Southern Hemisphere. Gaze out over treetops to a sweeping vista of white sand and turquoise water, soaking in the beauty of Wineglass Bay. Depending on how active you’re feeling, you can extend your hike down to the beach for swimming, relaxing and dolphin spotting or return from the lookout with your guide to check out Honeymoon Bay.
Devil's Corner Cellar Door
The afternoon brings us to Devil’s Corner winery, perched high on a hill overlooking Freycinet. It’s the ideal place to kick back with a glass of wine, fresh seafood platter, woodfired pizza, tea, coffee or artisan gelato before ending our day in Hobart.
Port Arthur and Tassie Devils
Tasman National Park
Travel with us from Hobart to the Tasman Peninsula, where the might of the Southern Ocean has carved spectacular caves and arches into solid rock. Meet Tassie’s coastline at its rugged finest. It’ll take your breath away. Spend the morning walking along 300-metre-high clifftops, pausing at majestic lookouts to watch giant waves crash against dolerite spires. Visit Pirates Bay, Waterfall Bay, Tasman Arch and the famous Devil’s Kitchen, ticking all the best views off the list.
Tasmanian Devil Unzoo
The Tasmanian Devil Unzoo is up next. Tasmanian Devils are carnivorous marsupials that can only be found in Tasmania. They look like a small bear and are just as feisty, with one of the most powerful bites in the animal kingdom. You’ll get up close and personal with these iconic critters in a snarling feeding frenzy! You can also feed wallabies by hand, attend a Birds of the Bush presentation, and learn about local wildlife from the Unzoo’s passionate staff.
Port Arthur Historic Site
Next stop is Port Arthur Historic Site, where impeccably preserved ruins offer a chilling glimpse of life as a Tasmanian convict. You will have around 2 hours exploring this World Heritage open air museum, including a complimentary harbour cruise around the Isle of the Dead and fascinating site talks.
Richmond
Our last stop is the unmissable Richmond, a historic village filled with quaint stone buildings, ye olde lolly shops and Australia’s oldest bridge! This sandstone beauty was built by convicts and is thought to be haunted. You be the judge. A devilishly good day out.

5.00This tour is awesome. It's an excellent way to maximize a short time in Tasmania. The Crad mountain portion is a must for any nature afficionados
Overall good but needs tweaking

4.00Overall a good experience but could be better. Confusion with pickup as even though I registered my hotel had to walk to main pick up point as I booked on Tripadvisor not their website. So many unnecessary stops each day. Sheffield a waste, Campbelltown had one good cafe and Richmond was the best in stops, as the bakery was superb. Graeme and Nick were good guides, but sometimes too much talking while in car. We were left to walk ourselves and wonder, except Graeme did walk up with us to Wineglass bay lookout. Day 2 was my favourite. Had to ask to see Raspberry farm as was not an option but such a beautiful setup why only give people the ice creamery option? Cradle mountain weather too warm to see its beauty. The cruise at Port Arthur a waste and was expecting something different. Mgt responded to emails except for main complaint. A lunch on day 2 at winery with group would compliment trip as a bit disruptive with changes to group and bus after building bonds with others. Smaller buses also too cramped.
Very good and...

5.00Very good and comprehensive tour across areas in both Launceston and Hobart. The guides were very knowledgeable, eager to impart information and deftly handled logistics in every area visited. They were also very perceptive in terms of adjusting itineraries depending on the skill level of those in the group, while making sure people don’t miss out on the experience. Would recommend overall if you want to just enjoy this trip without having to think of the smaller details, especially with driving through steep and winding roads.
A worthwhile tour if it is your first visit to Tasmania

5.00A worthwhile tour to go on if it is your first visit to tasmania! Weather was good for us and we got to visit all the places as stated in the itinerary! These places are beautiful and definitely worthwhile to go. Our tour guides Graeme and Clinton were superb guides as well, in particular Clinton. He made us feel at home and share many convict stories with us. Thumbs up to tours tasmania! Hope that you can arrange more of such tours for the western side of tasmania!
Beautiful locations, knowledgeable guide. I would do it again!

5.00The mountain goat, lol was the best tour guide. Knew his stuff, lived there his whole life. Was a very Intimate tour. Lots of hiking but we were even able to squeeze in a couple extra locations. Views were worth it! I speak highly of this tour to anyone who asks about what my favorite part of the trip was.

5.00Graham and Trevor were our guides for The Big Three. Both were very personable and professional. We got super lucky with the weather at Cradle Mt./Dove lake. Would recommend to all.
A great way to explore Tasmania!

4.00Pick up and drop offs to hotel door or very close by and very prompt. Tour guides were fab… very knowledgable not just about the areas we were visiting but the whole island. Kudos to Graham for supplying us all with rain coats; cloths and hats for the Cradle Mountain tour we would have hit very very wet otherwise. I would suggest anyone doing this tour to take a spare pair of clothes with them just in case! Overall very good value for money and throughly an enjoyable three days !
Overall a good experience

4.00Decent way to get from Launceston to Hobart and the big 3, guides were friendly and knowledgeable. It was raining pretty much constantly during our first two days (cradle mountain and wineglass bay) but we still had a good time, the views were awesome despite the rain and fog. We also got to see lots of wombats which are really cute. The third day to Port Arthur is the only reason we didn't want to give the tour five stars. I wish we could spend more time in Port Arthur instead of the Unzoo (which was okay but unremarkable) and Richmond (lovely town but by the time we got there most shops have already closed). The Port Arthur ferry was also really underwhelming.
Awesome,well worth doing

5.00Some good organisation has gone.into these tours and some options offered. Our tour guides.were all very good, had good knowledge of the places. Tour guides were laid back and good company on tour. Lunch was reasonably organised and gave opportunity to buy food for later or advised where we could buy something. Catered for a wide range of people.
