You’ll enjoy seeing the old mining town of Queenstown before arriving in the harbourside village of Strahan.

Day 2:
WILD WEST COAST
The untouched wilderness of Tasmania’s West Coast is today’s playground.

Later at Ocean Beach we’ll breathe the world’s freshest air.
Overnight: Strahan

Day 3: CRADLE MOUNTAIN
At the alpine and glacial carved World Heritage-listed Cradle Mountain National Park, choose a walk to suit your fitness. The Dove Lake circuit is one of the best short walks in Australia, while the scenic climb to Marion’s Lookout is more challenging.

Freycinet is Tasmania’s most famous coastal National Park, and today you’ll explore its beaches, forests, coves, and lookouts. See the pink granite Hazards mountain range from tranquil Honeymoon Bay. Then, you may be keen for a challenging climb to the summit of Mt Amos. Alternatively, you may prefer to walk to the lookout to view the curved white sands of Wineglass Bay and continue to the beach below. Finally, we’ll take in the stunning ocean and mountain views from Cape Tourville before returning to Hobart via the Great Eastern Drive.
Overnight: Hobart
