Find life on a human scale and nature on a grand scale with this breathtaking 6-day self-drive package that takes you through Tasmania’s southern-most edge, where the Southern Ocean lashes the South West Wilderness. This package is perfect for couples wanting to get away from it all, to experience some of Tasmania’s best nature walks while indulging in the Island’s famous food and wine.
A journey through southern Tasmania is framed by water and defined by river and sea. Kayak the dark, tannin-rich waters of the Lune River, hike to the edge of the world in South Cape Bay, soak in mineral-rich thermal pools at Hastings Caves, and walk through the treetops at Tahune, where, on a clear day, you can look out over the entire Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. A walk in the Hartz Mountain National Park reveals alpine lakes and snow-capped peaks, while a detour by ferry to Bruny Island is worth it for abundant wildlife, just-shucked oysters and farmhouse cheeses. Pause at Australia’s southern-most edge – next stop, Antarctica.
Throughout your journey, swing by the cider houses and farm gate stalls of the Huon Valley and take meals at charming pubs and wineries that have been family owned and run for decades. Feast on fresh, local produce including line-caught seafood, grass-fed beef and home-grown fruit and vegetables. This part of Tasmania is just as much about the food as it is about the nature.
This self-drive package includes 5-nights in handpicked, boutique accommodations in Hobart, Dover and Wattle Grove on a twin share basis.
