Travel Information

You can choose the transport option to suit your needs. Tasmania has all types of transport from rental cars to sailing ships.
While coach services and airport shuttles are excellent and may meet all your needs, your own vehicle will give you the freedom to visit communities off the main routes and explore the Island’s more remote and wild natural attractions.

It's worth remembering that although Tasmania is small, its landscape is diverse and its population decentralised.

The Island is 315 kilometres (189 miles) west to east and 286 kilometres (175 miles) north to south, and is comparable in size with the Republic of Ireland, West Virginia (USA) and Hokkaido (Japan). It covers an area of 68,331 square kilometres (26,376 square miles).
