6-Days Discovery Tour of Tasmania - Comfort Style

Departing Hobart/nipaluna, we quickly begin to venture into the rugged Western Wilds. Our first stop in the rainforests of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area is to see the beautiful Russell Falls in Mount Field National Park.

As we continue west and climb into the alpine region, we’ll stop at Australia’s deepest freshwater lake, Lake St Clair.

Scenes of mountains and buttongrass plains abound as we travel through the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park and stop to see the tannin-coloured waters of the Franklin River and take a short walk into the lovely Nelson Falls.

As we near the historic mining town, Queenstown, take in the impressive views of the Iron Blow Lookout, Horsetail Falls and Mt Lyell. We’ll enjoy a group dinner and settle in for the night.

Before departing Hobart, we begin our tour with a visit to vibrant Salamanca Markets. Grab some breakfast on-the-go, and check out the local handicrafts and produce.

This fantastic river cruise includes a guided boardwalk through the UNESCO World Heritage rainforest as well as a guided tour of the harshest penal settlement in Australia at Sarah Island.

See the workings of a huon pine sawmill to further appreciate the history of this picturesque town.

The Gordon River Cruise begins and ends in Strahan which is a picturesce harbourside village. Strahan is a gateway into the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. It sits within Macquarie Harbour and you'll be able to experience the lovely waterfront area before we depart to Tullah.

We'll travel from Tullah on the West Coast to Cradle Mountain National Park. Discover the alpine and glacial landscapes of Cradle Mountain – Lake St Clair National Park, part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. Your guide will help you make the most of a diversity of options to experience around the park, such as looking for wombats at Ronny Creek and visiting Waldheim Chalet to learn about the Park’s history. You may wish to walk the outstanding Dove Lake Circuit - this 6km walk around the glacial lake beneath the peaks of Cradle Mountain is considered the best short walk in Tasmania.
