What can I do in Tasmania and how do I begin planning?
Many people come to Tasmania for four or five days, quickly discover they need much more time, and return to explore the island further.
To start planning, ask yourself the basics:
- How long do I have?
- Do I want to bring my car or rent a car?
- Do I want to take a guided tour?
- What can I see and do?
- What are the must sees?
Once you have an idea about how you intend to travel around our Island, order our latest guide.
A good way to plan your holiday is to focus on one of your interests:
- if you enjoy visiting wineries, spend time around our southern wineries or the Tamar Valley wine route.
- your interests may be as diverse as mountain biking or gardening.
We also have a wide range of itineraries for anyone who likes to drive themselves:
- If you have more than a week and you don’t want to skim the island’s most popular attractions in a circuit, you might like to try one of our longer geographical areas itineraries.
- But if four or five days is all you have, why not follow one of our diverse and fascinating touring route itineraries. These bring you in touch with the true essence of smaller areas.
