Discovering Tasmania
The island of Tasmania is separated from mainland Australia by the Bas
Strait.
The island is a place of natural beauty and has more than 2000 kilometers of
walking tracks and 18 national parks. If you go on a tour, you’ll discover a wild
and beautiful place where the people are friendly and the food is delicious. If you
don’t like walking, there are other tours you can choose from including a river
cruise and cycling. You can also combine your tour with fishing, sailing or
sunbathing on the beach.
One of the most incredible places to walk is along the Tarkine Coast which is
located in the north-west of Tasmania. It’s such a wild and remote area that
you can easily complete your walk without seeing anyone apart from the
members of your group and your two guides. The area contains the largest
temperate rainforest in Australia which is home to more than 50 endangered
species. It is also home to many Aboriginal Heritage Sites. Your guides will
provide you with plenty of information about the area as you complete that part of
your tour. During your tour, you’ll come across rivers, mountain ranges,
spectacular waterfalls, wildlife and long wild beaches. It will be an experience you
won’t easily forget.
Tour Itinerary
Day 1:
You’re picked up from your hotel in the town of Launceston and driven to the Tarkine.
You then complete a three-hour walk through the forest before arriving at your camp
at Mystery Creek. There you will enjoy a delicious meal cooked by your guides.
Day 2:
After breakfast, you continue deeper into the rainforest, passing some of the tallest
trees in the world as you go, and stopping for lunch and then camp in the evening.
Day 3:
The highlight of today’s trek is the Tarkine Falls, a beautiful 15 metre waterfall.
Day 4:
Today you can stay at the camp and bathe in the Tarkine Falls, or you can go for a day
trek for more fantastic views of the forest.
Day 5:
After a last trek through the forest, the same bus will pick you up at about 4.00 p.m.
and you arrive in Launceston at around 7:00 p.m.
The tour includes two professional guides, transport to and from the rainforest,
all food while on the tours and all safety equipment. You should buy or hire
recommended camping equipment including: backpacks, sleeping bags, sleep
mats, head torches, rain coats and trousers.
