On this tour, you'll visit some incredible places throughout Tasmania, with the opportunity to get off the bus to explore whenever possible. While most of these trips are active in nature, the guides aim to offer walks that cater for all types of fitness with easy, medium and hard walking options.

Some walks are guided, while others are unguided (free walking)

In many locations, there is a choice between an easier or more advanced option. Essentially, you can make this as active or as easy as you like; all walks are optional and range from 20 minutes up to 4 hours.

Bring clothing that suits the season, while including warm clothes (it can get cold in the mountains), comfortable walking shoes, toiletries, a towel, hat, sunscreen, waterproof jacket, swimsuit, water bottle and camera. Luggage is restricted to one normal pack, bag or case (20kg) plus a small day pack.

All tours are self-catering; there are plenty of food stops where you can purchase from restaurants, cafes, takeaways or even supermarkets should you be accommodated in a hostel and wish to use the hostel’s kitchen facilities. Some tours include samplings of local foods as per the itinerary. 

This tour gives you the flexibility to choose where you eat and to enjoy local seasonal produce, while supporting local farmers and businesses.

Your guides can give you recommendations to help you try Tasmanian food and produce.

The tours on offer are designed to help you see as much of Tasmania as possible with like minded travelers. There is no maximum age provided you have a good sense of adventure and a reasonable level of fitness, however, there is a minimum age of 8 years old to ensure all passengers get the most from the tour!

The maximum group size is 24 passengers plus the tour guide. These small group sizes allow you plenty of time to get to know your fellow passengers and guide.

Tours are conducted in modern, comfortable air-conditioned buses. By having small groups, it means you can spend as much time as possible outside the bus exploring the wonderful sights of Tasmania.
