End the day in the charming west coast town of Strahan, where you’ll stay overnight.

Day 3 – Cradle Mountain
Head inland to the alpine wilderness of Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair National Park, part of the Tasmanian World Heritage Area.

Day 4 – Bay of Fires & East Coast
Travel to the East Coast to explore the stunning Bay of Fires, known for its white sands and orange-tinged rocks. Learn about the palawa, Tasmania’s Aboriginal people. Follow the coast to Bicheno, where you may spot the adorable little penguins that come ashore each night. Overnight in Bicheno.

Our guide Justin was amazing – knowledgeable, funny, friendly, helpful, versatile, and very committed to our enjoyment of the tour. I would highly recommend him as a guide and the company. The play ‘The ship that never was’ is not to be missed if you are going to Strahan. Tasmania is a beautiful state!
Brendan is such a professional tour guide who treated guests like friends. I visited the wonderful places of Tasmania. What a nice tour.
It would be desirable if the next day’s stage was announced a little more in advance in order to be able to adapt to the respective options.
It was breathtaking. We got to know Tasmania in so many different ways. We saw so many beautiful places. Bredon was just great. He had a lot of energy to bring us closer to his home. We would do this again at any time. Best regards
Loved the tour- our tour guide Brendon was really nice. He remembered all our names really fast! Also our group had a drone- he always gave us the advice if the next stop is a good places to fly and take some pictures.. The best activity’s were the bay of fires- loved it, we had enough time to take some pictures and go for a swim. All the beaches were pretty coool and we also had enough time in the evening for eating and playing cards. We always had the possibility to choose between cooking and dining out- loved it Thanks Brendon and the team for the trip and the smooth running- if I’m coming back I will book with you guys again
The 5-day tour of Tasmania was absolutely fantastic I really appreciated that we had different hiking options every day, so there was something for everyone, no matter their fitness level. Despite the rain on the 3rd The day of the hike in the Cradle Mountains was awesome The accommodations (single rooms in the hostel) were all good. The best part, of course, was our guide Brendon. He told us about beautiful Tasmania with a lot of humor and gave us many tips and interesting facts about the individual stations. Brendon made this tour the absolute highlight of my trip to Australia
