About this tour
This seven-day small-group tour traces Tasmania's perimeter, linking the alpine terrain of Cradle Mountain with the dramatic coastlines of the Bay of Fires and Wineglass Bay. You'll walk portions of Tasmania's renowned short trails, encounter Tasmanian devils at a wildlife sanctuary, explore the convict past at Port Arthur, and finish in Hobart. The operator holds eco-certification and handles all park entries and accommodation across six nights.

What to expect
Expect a mix of moderate to challenging walking each day, with sections ranging from one to three hours across varied terrain—forest, moorland, coastal paths. Mornings often start early to maximise daylight. You'll travel by coach between regions, staying in different towns each night. Wildlife viewing happens in controlled sanctuary settings rather than the wild. Weather on Tasmania's coast shifts quickly; layered clothing is essential. Group sizes remain small, so pace accommodates all fitness levels within the moderate-to-good range.
Good to know
Minimum moderate fitness required; unsuitable for spinal injuries, pregnancy, or poor cardiovascular health. Gratuities not included. Hobart CBD pickups available. Bring waterproof layers and sturdy footwear. Book well ahead for peak season.
