Tasmania, Australia

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Tasmania is Australia's only island state, situated about 240 kilometres south of the mainland across the Bass Strait, and is renowned for its dramatic and largely untouched wilderness. Nearly half the island is protected as national parks or World Heritage Areas, including the iconic Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair and Southwest National Park, drawing hikers, wildlife watchers, and adventure seekers from around the world. The island is famous for unique wildlife — including wombats, wallabies, and the Tasmanian devil — as well as world-class food and cool-climate wine produced in its fertile valleys. Hobart, the compact and characterful capital, anchors a thriving arts scene headlined by the internationally acclaimed MONA museum.

Tasmania East Coast Highlights — Self-Launched Edition (Launceston to Hobart, 5 Days)

A self-launched version of AAT Kings' guided coach tour along Tasmania's east coast, rebuilt for independent travellers. You'll self-drive or ride public/shuttle transport from Launceston through Bicheno and Freycinet National Park, then on to Hobart via Richmond and Port Arthur. Fixed on the itinerary are the real highlights: Cataract Gorge, Bridestowe Lavender Farm, the Legerwood carved trees, Freycinet's Wineglass Bay lookout, historic Richmond, the Port Arthur penal settlement, and the Tasman Peninsula's coastal blowholes and arches. All accommodation has been swapped to hostels, motels, and budget cabins, and every stop uses self-bookable or walk-up options. Costs are approximate 2024/2025 backpacker rates in GBP.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Tasmania, Australia yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
