Freycinet National Park

With multiple soaring pink-granite peaks, lush forest and the breathtaking Great Oyster Bay, Freycinet National Park isn’t just one of the most idyllic locations in Tasmania, its one of the most beautiful destinations in the world. Make your way to the viewing deck that looks over Wineglass bay and enjoy this picturesque slice of paradise.

Cradle Mountain

Surrounded by flowing lakes, ancient rainforest and beautiful Alpine bushland, Cradle Mountain is abundant with natural beauty. There are a variety of walking tracks to allow you to take in as much of the gorgeous scenery as you feel comfortable with. The Enchanted Walk allows you to see the highlights in just 20 minutes while the famous Overland Track takes six-days to traverse.

Cataract Gorge

It is rare that you get a natural wonderland located in the heart of a city, but that is exactly what Cataract Gorge offers. Just two-minutes from the Launceston CBD you’ll find this stunning natural rock formation along the Tamar River.

MONA- The Museum of Old and New Art

A trip to MONA should be a must for any visitor to Tasmania. As the largest privately funded museum in Australia, MONA showcases some of the most interesting and ground-breaking exhibitions in the world.

Salamanca Markets

Based in the historic settings of Salamanca place and surrounded by Georgian sandstone buildings, this picturesque open air market features over 300 stalls and attracts 1000’s of visitors every weekend of the year.

Bruny Island

Bruny Island boasts a host of dolphins, seals, migrating whales, mountainous costlines, soaring cliffs and deep sea caves. Enjoy the short cruise over and then explore this pristine island wonderland.

Bay of Fires

Stretching out for over 50 kilometres along Binalong Bay, Bay of Fires is a local favourite due to its beautiful white sand and crystal clear waters. Despite being named one of the Lonely Planet’s hottest travel destinations in the world, the Bay of Fires is so well preserved that you’d be forgiven for thinking you were the first person to ever discover it.

Tahune Forest Airwalk

If dramatic aerial views are your thing the Tahune Forest Airwalk is not to be missed. Suspended 48-metres above the ground, you’ll be treated to endless panoramic views of the forest mountains below.

Mt Wellington

This mountain looms over the city of Hobart, with an elevation of 3100 feet above sea level. It is only 21 km to the summit where on a clear day delivers an extensive view of Hobart and its coastlines.

Painted Cliffs

Found on the stunning coastline of the Maria Island National Park, The Painted Cliffs features naturally decorated colourful cliff walls born out of years of sea spray hitting the rock face and crystallising.
