Set out on a six-day adventure from Tasmania’s trendy capital, capes and coastlines to its ancient interiors and oldest townships. Discover UNESCO World Heritage-listed national parks, from the coastal heath and sand dunes that meet the rainforest in Takayna/Tarkine to the glacier-sculpted terrain of Cradle Mountain. Connect with First Nations culture with a local Palawa guide by your side and try some bush tucker. Stroll along Wineglass Bay in the shadow of Freycinet’s pink peaks and count the bright colours that make up the world-famous Bay of Fires. Go in search of the island’s unique endemic wildlife, from Tasmanian devils to fairy penguins and discover the freshest homegrown grapes and flavours of Tassie.
