Il meglio della Tasmania in 3 giorni – da Hobart a Launceston

Departure at 7:30am from Hobart to the spectacular Tasman Peninsula, renowned for its dramatic coastal scenery, towering sea cliffs and rich colonial history. Stop at Pirates Bay Lookout followed by a scenic walk along the Waterfall Bay Clifftop Track to the remarkable rock formations of Tasman Arch and Devil’s Kitchen. Visit the Tasmanian Devil Unzoo to watch the Tasmanian Devil feeding and observe the local wildlife. Continue to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Port Arthur Historic Site, including a harbour cruise around the Isle of the Dead and free time to explore Australia's most famous former penal settlement. Return to Hobart in the late afternoon with a stop in the historic village of Richmond, home to Australia's oldest stone bridge still in use. Around 18.00 I return to Hobart.

Departure at 7:30 am from Launceston, travelling through the charming Georgian villages of Evandale and Campbell Town, with time to explore the historic centre and the fascinating Convict Brick Trail. Continue to Freycinet National Park, where a short and easy walk along the Cape Tourville Lighthouse circuit offers spectacular coastal views.

The tour continues with the climb to Wineglass Bay Lookout, one of Tasmania’s most iconic viewpoints. For those with a good level of fitness, it is possible to extend the walk down to Wineglass Bay Beach. In the afternoon, a stop is made at the scenic Devil’s Corner Cellar Door to enjoy the views and taste local products (at own expense). Arrival in Hobart in the late afternoon.
Arrival at Launceston at about 18.00.

Departure for Cradle Mountain at 7.30. Designed for active travellers in good physical condition.

Departure from Launceston with a stop in the rural village of Sheffield, renowned for its impressive murals, before continuing to Cradle Mountain National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its iconic scenery and extensive network of walking trails. During the 4–5 hours spent in the park, the itinerary is adapted according to weather conditions and the abilities of the participants. Walks include the easy 20-minute Great Short Walk along Pencil Pine Creek, followed by time at Dove Lake, where there is a choice between an easy to moderate 6 km circuit or, for more experienced hikers, a more challenging 4 km trail with steep sections. There is also time to relax, enjoy lunch, take photographs and, with a little luck, spot the friendly wombats in their natural habitat. On the return journey to Launceston, brief stops are made at a local ice creamery and a raspberry farm.

What to bring: comfortable walking shoes, warm layered clothing with a waterproof jacket, hat, sunscreen, a large refillable water bottle, snacks, packed lunch (or purchase one during the day), and a camera. Around 18.00 I return to Launceston.
