AAT Kings

Explore Tasmania’s capital on a Hobart sightseeing tour, taking in broad views from Mount Nelson, the Georgian cottages of Battery Point and the sandstone warehouses of Salamanca Place. See Constitution Dock, where yachts finish the Sydney to Hobart race.

Stretch your legs in the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, established in 1818. Hobart’s compact waterfront and colonial streets offer a close-up view of the city’s maritime and convict-era heritage.

Meet your Travel Director over dinner in Hobart and get to know the people sharing your journey around Tasmania. This hosted gathering offers a relaxed opportunity to ask questions and hear about the landscapes, towns and local experiences ahead.

Conversation around the table brings a personal introduction to the island, from its wild west coast to its historic eastern settlements. Dinner is included as part of the experience.

Walk among towering eucalypts in Mount Field National Park to see Russell Falls, where water tumbles in tiers through cool, fern-filled forest. The woodland paths offer an accessible introduction to Tasmania’s remarkable temperate wilderness.

Established in 1916, Mount Field is one of Australia’s oldest national parks and forms part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. Its mix of tall forest and mountain habitats shows how dramatically the island’s scenery can change within a single park.

Take in the mountain setting of Lake St Clair, Australia’s deepest freshwater lake. Its clear waters lie within Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair National Park, framed by forest and peaks in Tasmania’s Central Highlands.

Known as Leeawuleena to the Aboriginal people of the region, the lake occupies a landscape shaped by ancient glaciers. This scenic visit is a chance to appreciate the scale and stillness of a distinctive part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.

Cruise the Gordon River from Strahan through dark, tannin-coloured waters that reflect the surrounding rainforest. The journey includes Sarah Island, a former penal settlement, and Heritage Landing, where you can see a Huon pine around 2,000 years old.

Look out for Hells Gates, the narrow entrance to Macquarie Harbour. The cruise pairs the protected wilderness of the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park with stories of the convicts who once cut timber and built boats in this remote setting.

Explore the surroundings of Dove Lake beneath Cradle Mountain, where alpine moorland, mountain slopes and still water create one of Tasmania’s best-known wilderness scenes. Keep watch for wildlife as you take in the park’s rugged terrain.

Rising to 1,545 metres, Cradle Mountain is a landmark within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. Weather can shift quickly here, lending the lake and its surrounding highlands a different character from one moment to the next.

Join a Day Keeper tour at Devils @ Cradle to see Tasmanian devils and learn how the sanctuary cares for these threatened animals. Hear from the people working with the species and discover what goes into its protection.

Close to Cradle Mountain, the sanctuary offers a focused encounter with a marsupial found in the wild only in Tasmania. Understanding the threats it faces gives this conservation visit a purpose beyond wildlife viewing.

Pause at Table Cape Lookout near Wynyard for expansive views along Tasmania’s north-west coast. The headland rises roughly 180 metres above the sea, offering a striking perspective on the shoreline in clear weather.

Table Cape is the remnant of a volcano dating back around 12 million years. Its broad, elevated profile makes the lookout as interesting for its geology as for the coastal panorama spread out below.

Visit Ashgrove Tasmanian Farm to discover a local producer known for its cheeses. Browse the farm’s dairy products and, where offered, taste its award-winning cheese; locally made ice cream is another tempting option.

Tasmania’s cool climate and rich dairy country have helped shape its food culture. This stop puts a local name and flavour to that story, offering a contrast to the island’s mountain and coastal scenery.

Discover Cataract Gorge, a river-cut chasm remarkably close to central Launceston. Take in its rugged rock walls, bushland and cultivated gardens, where ferns sit alongside ornamental plants.

The contrast between the gorge’s natural terrain and its Victorian-era garden setting is part of its appeal. It feels like a retreat from the city while remaining closely woven into Launceston’s identity; a chairlift crossing is available as a separate optional experience.

Take a guided tour of Bridestowe Lavender Farm in north-east Tasmania and learn about the crop behind its fragrant products. The fields are most colourful and aromatic when the lavender blooms, generally from late spring into early summer.

Beyond the rows of flowers, discover how lavender finds its way into treats such as teas, jams and ice cream. The visit offers a closer look at a Tasmanian producer whose farming landscape changes with the seasons.

View the Legerwood Carved Memorial Trees, where former memorial trees have been transformed into sculptures honouring local soldiers of the First World War. The carvings give individual form to a small community’s remembrance.

Set in the village of Legerwood, this outdoor memorial invites a quiet look at the names and stories behind Tasmania’s wartime history. Its distinctive use of the original trees makes the tribute both a work of public art and a place of reflection.

Take in the coastal scenery of Freycinet National Park, where pink granite peaks and cliffs rise beside the blue waters around Coles Bay. The peninsula’s sheltered bays and rocky shoreline provide a vivid introduction to Tasmania’s east coast.

Freycinet is also an important habitat for native wildlife. Visiting this protected landscape offers a chance to appreciate the natural setting that conservation efforts help preserve, without needing to venture far from its sweeping coastal views.

Explore Richmond’s Georgian streetscape, where buildings dating from the 1820s now house galleries, boutiques and cafés. The town’s historic bridge is another reminder of its early colonial past.

Richmond retains the scale and character of a nineteenth-century Tasmanian settlement. A visit here offers a close look at the island’s built heritage, with old sandstone structures still part of everyday village life rather than set apart as museum pieces.

Meet local palawa people beside the Derwent River for a Welcome to Country and a guided introduction to bush tucker. Learn about native foods and their place in a living culture rooted in Tasmania.

Hearing directly from a local Aboriginal guide brings knowledge of Country into focus through plants, food and personal connection. This hosted experience offers a perspective on Tasmania that reaches well beyond its colonial history and scenic landmarks.

Walk among the buildings and ruins of Port Arthur Historic Site on the Tasman Peninsula. Explore the remains of a former penal settlement and consider the lives of the people held and working there.

Port Arthur is one of Australia’s best-preserved convict sites and forms part of the UNESCO-listed Australian Convict Sites. Its imposing architecture and waterfront setting give physical form to a difficult chapter of history, making this a visit that rewards time and reflection.

Glide above Cataract Gorge on its chairlift for an elevated view of the water, rock faces and greenery close to central Launceston. The crossing offers a different perspective from exploring the gorge on foot.

Suspended over this striking natural chasm, you can appreciate how abruptly the landscape shifts from city streets to rugged terrain. This is an optional experience at additional cost; ask about booking it on tour.

Visit Beaconsfield Mine to explore a different side of northern Tasmania’s heritage. The former gold-mining town offers a setting for learning about the industry and the people whose work shaped the region.

Beaconsfield’s mining history is closely tied to the development of the Tamar Valley. This alternative to Launceston’s natural attractions is optional and at additional cost; ask about booking the visit on tour.

Visit Seahorse World in the Tamar Valley for a closer look at these small, distinctive marine animals. It offers an indoor wildlife-focused alternative during your time around Launceston.

Seahorses are notable for their unusual form of parental care: the male carries the developing young. Seeing them up close adds a marine perspective to a journey largely shaped by forests, mountains and coastal views. This visit is optional and at additional cost; ask about booking it on tour.

Watch for little penguins near Bicheno on an after-dark spotting experience. From a suitable viewing area, look for the birds coming ashore from the sea under cover of darkness.

Little penguins are the smallest penguin species, and their nightly return is a distinctive part of Tasmania’s coastal wildlife. Sightings depend on nature and local conditions. This experience is optional and at additional cost and can be booked on tour.
