Wild Coasts and Rainforest Roads

Tasmania is bigger than it looks on a map. This trip is designed to cover a lot in six days, so several travel days are long. The route does not include much time in Hobart, so travelers who want to explore the capital properly should add time before or after the trip.

There is plenty of walking on varied terrain. Most walks are short or moderate, and joining a walk is always your choice, but the trip is best suited to travelers with good mobility and a reasonable fitness level. Sturdy walking shoes and comfortable outdoor clothing are strongly recommended.

Tasmania's weather can shift quickly, especially in mountain areas and at higher elevations. Nights can be cold, and snowfall is possible near the start or end of the season. Pack for warm, cold, dry and wet conditions rather than assuming one kind of weather.

Travelers wanting a different pace can choose from other Tasmania routes, including shorter or longer Comfort-style trips and more walking-focused itineraries.

Visa information tools may help, but they may not include every full entry requirement or service fee. Travelers are responsible for checking the rules for their own passport.

Accommodation is hotel-based for five nights. The accommodation style shown in the itinerary is a guide and may change if preferred properties are unavailable. If a change is needed, a similar standard will be used whenever possible.

Properties are asked to prepare rooms before the group arrives, especially when arrival is earlier than normal check-in. Immediate check-in is not always possible, so luggage may be stored while the group explores or waits for rooms.

Joining point: Travelodge Hobart, 167 Macquarie Street, Hobart, Australia.

From Hobart Airport, airport code HBA, you can take the twice-hourly Skybus transfer to stop 4 on Collins Street. Ask the driver to announce your stop; from there, it is about a 5-minute walk to the hotel. A taxi or Uber from the airport usually takes 25 to 30 minutes depending on traffic.
