Evan Thomas was a fantastic guide, full of fun facts & dad jokes, making the trip very fun & in my opinion making us all feel included. The variety of experiences was great, including experiencing small towns and learning local history & when hiking was involved a good range of options were given to fit differences in ability. The Bonorong Sanctuary is in my opinion a must see & the Cradle hike is also well worth the time, effort & money. Considering Tasmania is so amazing, experiencing it as a group on a coach such as this is in my opinion great financially, time wise & socially as you get to know others and experience things together. I stayed in the dormitory accomidation and found them to be great, plenty of space and only one night we shared with individuals not on the trip. The Bicheno accomidation in particular was fantastic. All in all, as a solo or couple/ group travelling Tasmania with a week(maybe 10 days) I cannot think of a better way to experience Tasmania

I booked the 7-day tour with a motel and private bathroom, and I have to say, I don't regret it at all. It was one of the best tours I've ever taken. The accommodations were all fantastic and clean—way better than I expected. The tour group was very diverse, ranging from young to old, and we all came from different parts of the world. It was a great mix, and we had an amazing time together. One of the main reasons for this was our tour guide, Justin! He was phenomenal. The tour was so well-organized that we had plenty of time to enjoy the incredible landscapes and wildlife. On top of that, he kept us entertained during the bus rides with fascinating stories and an awesome music playlist. The hours on the bus flew by. Not to mention his photography and selfie skills! He was the best tour guide I've ever had. Thank you, Justin, for this experience—one I'll always remember. I highly recommend this tour; you won’t regret it!

Frequently asked questions

How active is this tour, and do I have to complete the harder walks?

This is an active, nature-based tour, but you will usually have a choice of walks to suit different fitness and confidence levels. Walks range from short, easy options of around 20 minutes to longer adventures of up to four hours across steps, rocks, sand and uneven tracks. The walks are optional, and your guide will explain the available choices before you set out, so you can enjoy the scenery at a pace that feels right for you.

Is this tour a good choice for solo travellers?

Yes. Solo travellers regularly join this tour, and the small-group format makes it easy to meet people while exploring Tasmania together. You can choose a multishare room with guests of the same gender or book a single room for more privacy. Twin and double rooms require two people travelling together, as solo guests are not paired into these room types.

Are meals included during the seven days?

Meals are not included, giving you the freedom to choose local cafés, restaurants, takeaways and supermarkets according to your taste and budget. Regular food stops are built into the journey, and lunches are often purchased earlier in the day so there is more time to enjoy the national parks and attractions. Evenings provide opportunities to dine locally or self-cater where facilities are available. After booking, please contact us with any dietary requirements.

Can I fly out of Hobart on the final day?

Yes, provided your flight departs at 7.30pm or later. The tour begins with Hobart pickups from around 7am on Day 1 and aims to return to Hobart at approximately 5.30pm on Day 7. An airport drop-off can be arranged on the return journey for guests with a suitable evening flight. You will need to arrive in Hobart at least one day before the tour begins.

How much luggage can I bring?

You can bring one backpack or suitcase weighing up to 20kg. Your main luggage is stored securely in the trailer during the day and unloaded when the group changes accommodation. We also recommend bringing a small daypack for water, a jacket, sunscreen, your camera and anything else you want close at hand.

What is the maximum group size, and who usually joins?

The tour has a maximum of 24 guests plus the guide. Groups commonly include solo travellers, couples, friends and families from a mix of countries and age groups. The shared interest in nature, wildlife, walking and local history usually creates a friendly and social atmosphere. The minimum age is eight, with reasonable fitness and mobility more important than belonging to a particular age group.

Should I choose the guided West Coast walk or the Gordon River Cruise?

Choose the guided walk if you want an active morning exploring temperate rainforest and the windswept Henty Sand Dunes. The optional Gordon River Cruise offers a more relaxed journey through Macquarie Harbour, with Sarah Island, World Heritage wilderness and ancient Huon pine forest along the route. The cruise is an additional cost, while the guided walk is part of the tour. The day then continues to Ocean Beach.

Brendan was an excellent guide. As a solo traveller not sure where to go in Tasmania, we were taken to the best spots for some unbelievable scenery and met some great friends along the way. You can’t go wrong with this tour.

This tour was perfect for discovering all the riches of Tasmania! Anthony was attentive to recommending places to eat and have a coffee at each stop, and his passion for Tasmania and its history was very tangible and therefore very enjoyable. Thanks again to him!
