Tasmania is rugged and thickly forested, and there are many sections of spectacular coastline that are inaccessible to conventional vehicles. These are the special places that most visitors will never discover, but in a four-wheel-drive they are yours for the exploring. One of the great attractions of off-road touring in Tasmania is that distances between tracks are short.
You can choose to travel with an experienced four-wheel-drive operator or join a tag-along group.
Some of the best places to explore are in forest reserves managed by Forestry Tasmania.
