Journey to the edge of the world in Wild West Tasmania, with this 7-day self-drive package that features some of the state’s most scenic drives, walks and cruises. This package is perfect for nature lovers looking to get off the beaten track, with highlights including Cradle Mountain and the Tarkine Rainforest.
Gateway to Tasmania’s Wilderness World Heritage Area, Tasmania’s West is one of the world’s last true wilderness frontiers. Ancient forests, majestic rivers and rugged mountains contrast with historic mining towns and fascinating convict heritage. Yet, despite its remoteness, it is easy and safe to visit – and you can still enjoy the best of Tasmania’s quality accommodation and fine dining.
Starting from Launceston or Devonport, hit the road to seek untamed wilderness, follow in the footsteps of pioneers and uncover wild stories of mining booms and busts. You’ll drive two of the state’s Great Drives including Tarkine – through Australia’s largest temperate rainforest – and the Great Circle Route across the heartlands. Along the way, you’ll traverse some of Tasmania’s Great Walks including Cradle Mountain’s Dove Lake and Crater Lake, Stanley’s The Nut, Tarkine Rainforest’s Huon Pine and Savage River, and the ‘Edge of the World’, where you will find the longest uninterrupted expanse of ocean on Earth. You’ll also cruise three of Australia’s last truly ‘wild’ rivers - the Arthur, the Pieman and the Gordan. Only by boat can you access history rich locations such as the sunken wreck of the SS Croydon and Sarah Island (the site of a harsh penal settlement).
This action-packed 7-day, self-drive package includes 6-nights in boutique accommodation on a twin-share basis. Your accommodation has been carefully handpicked as the best of its kind in this remote part of Tasmania. Select meals are included as well as activities and experiences as per the itinerary.
Get off the beaten track and discover Tasmania’s Western Wilds at slow pace – and in style. This is a road trip you will never forget.
