Upon your arrival, begin with a visit to Cataract Gorge Reserve and walk on the historic suspension bridge over the South Esk River for stunning views of the unique natural formation. Next, jump aboard a sightseeing Cataract Gorge Cruise to admire the scenic riversides and lush bushlands of the Cataract Gorge that lie just downstream from Launceston. Admire views of Kings Wharf and the Seaport as you glide along Launceston’s riverfront, then sail beneath the spectacular cliffs of the Cataract Gorge, enjoying unobstructed views from the purpose-built cruise ship. After a relaxing lunch (at own expense), visit the Tasmanian Gourmet Sauce Company, which was established over 20 years ago and offers a unique experience to visitors. You’ll be guided through the delicious range of products, such as a variety of berry fruit sauces, chocolate sauce and savour the award-winning chutneys, mustards, pasta sauces and jams.
This morning, proceed to Sheffield, a town which proclaims itself the Mural Capital of Australia. There are over 60 huge murals around town along with an annual Mural Fest, where the winner’s masterpiece will be added to the collection. Thereafter, head to the Tasmanian World Heritage Wilderness Area and its jewel, the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park. Immerse yourself in the picturesque landscape and abundance of wildlife. Go deep into the Tasmanian forest and experience the solitary wilderness of waterfalls, glacial lakes, rainforest, wildlife and unsurpassed beauty of this World Heritage-listed National Park. Discover many walks throughout the rainforest – catch your breath as you first glimpse the craggy outcrop of majestic Cradle Mountain towering above sparkling Dove Lake plateau. Seize the opportunity to take a short stroll around Dove Lake as you take in views of the powerful and majestic Cradle Mountain (weather permitting). On the return to Launceston, visit Ashgrove Cheese Farm for some famous Tasmanian cheese. View the cheesemaking and maturing area, then taste and buy a range of cheese, which include exotic flavours of wild wasabi and native pepper berry.
Start the day with a visit to Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, home to Tasmania's largest 24/7 Wildlife Rescue Service with a team of volunteers dedicated to help protect endangered species. Get ready for your up-close encounter with the iconic Tasmanian Devil and other native animals. This is an amazing opportunity to learn more about the unique wildlife and hand-feed the animals that roam free. Continue on your journey to the picturesque historic town of Ross – make sure to try the famous scallop pies at Bakery 31 and explore the town. Have a photo stop at the historic Ross Bridge, the 3rd oldest bridge still in use in Australia that was built by convicts in 1836. Next, depart for Hobart, the capital and most populous city of Tasmania. Thereafter, proceed to Mount Wellington. The 21-km drive to the summit passes through temperate rainforest to sub-alpine f lora and glacial rock formations, ending in panoramic views of Hobart, Bruny Island, South Arm and the Tasman Peninsula.
Note: Mt Wellington will be replaced with Mt Nelson if it is closed due to any icy conditions or snow.
Set off to the World Heritage–listed Port Arthur Historic Site for an in-depth look at Australia’s penal history at this former convict colony. Explore and see the ruins and restored buildings, as well as the surrounding natural beauty of the Tasman National Park on this day out. On your way to the site, you’ll be able to enjoy stunning views of Hobart’s countryside from your window. Upon arrival at Port Arthur, enjoy an introductory 40-minute guided walking tour to familiarise yourself with this expansive site before exploring at leisure. After exploring the port, hop aboard your vessel, sit back and relax as you make your way to view the Isle of the Dead. On our return to Hobart, we travel via the historic township of Richmond. As we arrive in the late afternoon, you will have time to meander the streets, stop for a coffee and walk across Australia’s oldest bridge still in use – a convict-built sand-stone bridge.
This morning, visit the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), known as much for its underground labyrinth-like architecture as for its art collection. Owned by entrepreneur David Walsh, experience Australia's largest private collection of art. Experience the heavenly and the controversial as you explore ancient, modern, contemporary art and thought-provoking exhibits. Thereafter, visit Salamanca Place, a historic docks area of Hobart lined with a row of simple Georgian-era sandstone warehouses built in the 1830s. These mellow north-facing buildings that once stored grain, wool, whale oil, apples and imported goods from around the world have been converted into a plaza of restaurants and shop, with pubs, artists, galleries, craft shops and nightlife, adding to the relaxed atmosphere of the place after sundown. Next, enjoy some free time strolling through the exquisite Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. These gardens are home to the largest collection of mature conifers in the Southern Hemisphere and it also has the only subantarctic plant house in the world.
Enjoy the day at your leisure and explore the streets of Hobart at your own pace. Rich in art, culture and history, the city pulses with vibrancy. Alternatively, you may wish to join an optional tour to Bunny Island or a Tasman Island coastal wilderness cruise at your own expense.
Spend the morning at your leisure before boarding your homebound f light. We hope you enjoyed your vacation with our company and we look forward to seeing you again on your next trip.
