Hobart Return • Sep 2023 - May 2024
A great passion for nature, history, culture and food defines this little island. With some of the most magnificent untouched wilderness in the world, a rich convict legacy, world-class galleries and artisan produce, Tasmania is a treat for the senses, no matter what your appetite.
From the salty dockside Salamanca Point to the extraordinary art housed in MONA, you’ll fall in love with Hobart before heading south to the World Heritage-listed convict enclave of Port Arthur. History and art combine with a visit to the incredible ‘Wall in the Wilderness’, before you go deep into the wilderness with visits to the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers and Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Parks.
Explore many of the quaint little towns scattered across the island, sampling the finest in Tassie hospitality before heading back to the wilds of Freycinet National Park. The extraordinary Wineglass Bay will capture your imagination before you make your way back to lovely Hobart.
