16 Top-Rated Attractions & Things to Do in Tasmania
Written by Karen Hastings Updated Dec 24, 2023 We may earn a commission from affiliate links ( )
For those who haven't visited Australia's smallest state, Tasmania or "Tassie," seems shrouded in mystique. Perhaps it's the state's far-flung location, some 300 kilometers south of the Australian mainland across stormy Bass Strait. Maybe it's the vast expanses of windswept wilderness. Almost half of Tasmania's land mass lies in national parks and World Heritage Areas, with sparkling alpine lakes, wild rivers, and mist-cloaked peaks.
Perhaps it's the bizarre wildlife – from real life Tasmanian devils to the extinct thylacine, the Tasmanian tiger. Or is it the haunting convict history and beautifully preserved heritage towns, which seem frozen in time? Today, this mystique lures more and more tourists who are discovering the island's many jewels.
Shaped appropriately like a heart, Tasmania is also a foodie's delight. Gloriously creamy cheeses, crisp fruits, and succulent seafood are just some of the mouthwatering local treats on offer, and hanging out at a waterfront café or restaurant is one of the top things to do in the port city of Hobart.
If you're looking for a unique way to arrive on the island, you can travel from Melbourne to Devonport by sea on the Spirit of Tasmania . Best of all, you can bring your car with you. If you choose this option, check out a Tasmania attractions map, and plot a scenic road-trip.
Explore this enchanting state with our list of the top attractions and things to do in Tasmania.

In the north of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park is the jewel in the crown of the state's many natural wonders. Glacier-carved crags; glittering lakes; beech forests; alpine heathland; and jagged dolerite peaks, including 1,616-meter-high Mount Ossa (the highest point on the island), are some of its most breathtaking features.
Hiking in Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park is legendary. Favorite day walks include the Lake Dove Walk , with magnificent views of Cradle Mountain (1,545 meters), and the Weindorfer Walk , a six-kilometer circuit through dense forests.

Tasmania's capital has transformed itself from a sleepy backwater with a turbulent convict history to a hub of cutting-edge culture. Its beautiful setting between the sea and the soaring peak of kunanyi/Mount Wellington has, no doubt, inspired many of its talented artists in all genres.
Opened in 2011, MONA: Museum of Old and New Art pushes the art world envelope with its provocative and confronting exhibits, while the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery takes a more traditional look at the country's art, as well as its natural history.
Foodies will also find plenty to smile about. The city's waterfront precinct buzzes with hip cafés and restaurants, and you can eat around the world on the restaurant strip in North Hobart.
Delving into the city's rich convict history is another one of the top things to do in Hobart. Visit the Hobart Convict Penitentiary, and explore the historic sandstone warehouses at Salamanca Place , now filled with shops, cafés, and antique dealers. From here, you can also follow the Battery Point Sculpture Trail to see elegant convict-built architecture.
Natural attractions are also never far away from the city buzz. Climb kunanyi/Mount Wellington to really appreciate Hobart's picturesque setting, and gaze out at the World Heritage wilderness in the distance.

The old convict settlement of Port Arthur offers a sobering look at Tasmania's turbulent past. About an hour's drive southeast of Hobart, the ruins are part of the Australian Convict Sites World Heritage Property . Here, in 1830, Governor Sir George Arthur established a brutal penal settlement where convicts were forced to hew coal in the mines and fell timber.
In spite of a devastating fire in 1897, the remains of many buildings still stand, including the guard tower, church, model prison, and hospital. You can also browse fascinating documents and relics of the penal settlement in the museum, or visit the nearby Coal Mines Historic Site. Admission tickets give you two days to explore all the attractions here, and they also include an introductory walking tour and 25-minute harbor cruise.
Looking for unique things to do in Tasmania? Consider joining an evening lantern-lit "ghost tour" of the ruins .
After touring Port Arthur, take a drive along the coast to explore the soaring sea cliffs and sheltered coves of the spectacular Tasman peninsula.
Address: 6973 Arthur Hwy, Port Arthur, Tasmania

World Heritage-listed Freycinet National Park, on Tasmania's relatively sunny east coast, is one of Australia's oldest nature reserves and one of its most beautiful. Hiking the many scenic trails here is the best way to explore the park.
The star of this picturesque peninsula is the perfect curve of powder-white sand and azure sea at Wineglass Bay – one of the top beaches in Australia . Wander through pristine bushland to secluded bays and lookouts, or tackle the Wineglass Bay Circuit, one of Australia's top hikes . Along the way, keep a look out for some of the many birds in the park. Black cockatoos, kookaburras, and sea birds are just some of the resident species.
Take the 20-minute walk from the lookout to the southern end of Wineglass Bay to admire beautiful views of the Hazards , three striking pink granite crags rising out of the sea. The peaks are best photographed at sunrise and sunset when their color deepens in the golden light.
At the entrance to Freycinet National Park, the little beach resort of Coles Bay is a good base for walks and climbs in the surrounding hills, and you can also explore the entire region on the East Coast Escape scenic drive.

Undulating to the west of Hobart, the comforting presence of 1,270-meter-high kunanyi/Mount Wellington is a constant reminder of the unspoiled wilderness that lies on the doorstep of this waterfront capital.
Follow a winding 21-kilometer mountain road to the Pinnacle, often sprinkled with snow, for breathtaking views over Hobart, the Derwent Valley, and the D'Entrecasteaux Channel. At the summit, boardwalks lead to panoramic viewpoints, and a pavilion displays old photographs of Hobart and Mount Wellington.
The mountain is a popular spot for biking and hiking through the temperate rain forests, and the distinctive Organ Pipes , a dolerite cliff, is renowned for its excellent rock climbing. Standing atop the summit and admiring the sweeping views is one of the best free things to do in Tasmania, but dress warmly as the weather here is notoriously fickle.

On the wind-lashed Tasman Peninsula, 56 kilometers east of Hobart, Tasman National Park protects some of Australia's most spectacular coastal scenery. If you look at a map of Tasmania, this park cloaks the far southeast tip of the state, with nothing but ocean between here and Antarctica.
It's a place of raw beauty. Towering dolerite cliffs plunge 300 meters to the sea, islands shimmer just offshore, waterfalls tumble to the sea, and contorted rock formations wear the relentless forces of wind and water.
The Blowhole and Tasman Arch are two of the park's most famous features. Other top sites include Remarkable Cave , Waterfall Bay , and the Devil's Kitchen – a collapsed rock arch.
Wildlife also scores top billing here. Apart from many species of rare birds, the area plays host to Australian fur seals, dolphins, whales, fairy penguins, and possums. A popular way to explore this stunning national park is by hiking the Three Capes Track (see below).
You can also explore some of the top attractions by car, or hop aboard a boat to glimpse the soaring cliffs from sea level, or cast a line – fishing can be excellent here. In the southern end of the park, climbers scale the dolerite cliffs, and Pirate's Bay is popular with hang-gliders.
Nearby lies the World Heritage-listed Port Arthur , one of Australia's most poignant historic sites.
Official site: http://www.parks.tas.gov.au/indeX.aspX?base=3868
Starting and ending in World Heritage-listed Port Arthur, the stunningly scenic Three Capes Track slices through more than 48 kilometers of awe-inspiring wilderness in Tasman National Park . A boat delivers you to the trailhead from Port Arthur, where you'll walk along the edge of the continent, with breathtaking views of the Tasman Sea from the cliff-top trail.
Along the way, you'll walk through pristine eucalyptus forests and windswept heathland; see spectacular dolerite columns rising from the sea; encounter wildlife like wombats, wallabies, and echidnas; and stay in comfy eco-friendly cabins.
Every hiker receives a guidebook with maps and notes about the journey, as well as stories to read as they sit on strategically placed benches along the track. This four-day, three-night hike is suitable for all levels of hikers – even children. It's one of the best things to do in Tasmania in spring, fall, or summer, although hardy hikers could also tackle it in winter if they dress appropriately.

A mere 15-minute stroll along the river from Launceston's city center, the wild and romantic Cataract Gorge is a deep chasm carved over many centuries by the South Esk River. Offering striking scenery, the gorge is one of the top attractions in Launceston .
Precipitous walking paths, first built in the 1890s, cut into the cliff face on both sides of the gorge, offering heart-stopping views of the river far below.
The less adventurous can hop aboard the world's longest single-span chairlift, and the Kings Bridge and Gorge Restaurant also afford fine views. On the south side, you can relax at a café and paddle in the bush-fringed swimming pool.
At Cliff Grounds on the northern side, lies a beautiful Victorian garden replete with ferns, strutting peacocks, and wallabies. River cruises offer another perspective of this popular attraction.
If you're looking for things to do in Northern Tasmania, Cataract Gorge deserves a spot on your travel itinerary.

Salamanca Place, with its lovingly restored sandstone buildings, is a tourist hub in the heart of Hobart's historic waterfront. Built by convicts between 1835 and 1860, these beautiful Georgian buildings were once warehouses along the commercial center of old Hobart. Today, they house art galleries, cafés, restaurants, and shops.
You can dine alfresco along this cobblestone strip; shop for antiques and souvenirs; or visit the galleries, performing arts venues, and ateliers of the Salamanca Arts Centre . Every Saturday, tourists and locals alike flock to the Salamanca Markets , where more than 300 vendors sell everything from handcrafted jewelry and woodwork to fresh produce.
Nearby Constitution Dock is a favorite spot to buy fresh seafood, and one of the most popular things to do in December here is watch the yachts cruise in after the iconic Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.
From Salamanca Place, you can also descend Kelly Steps to Battery Point , a picturesque seaside suburb with heritage houses.
About 55 minutes from Hobart by car and ferry, Bruny Island is a popular day trip from the city for foodies and nature buffs. The island lies across the D'Entrecasteaux Channel from the seaside town of Kettering. It's famous for its delectable gastronomic treats, such as handmade chocolates, local berries, artisan cheeses, and succulent seafood, which you can sample on island tasting tours.
South Bruny National Park, on the island's southern tip, offers beautiful coastal scenery, with soaring green sea cliffs, sheltered beaches, and challenging surf breaks.
You can explore the park on an eco-cruise or hike the many nature trails. Keep an eye out for wildlife. Fur seals and fairy penguins swim offshore, and wombats, wallabies, and echidnas are often spotted on land. Built by convicts between 1836 and 1838, Cape Bruny Lighthouse offers beautiful views of the surging Southern Ocean.
Cutting edge and controversial, the MONA (Museum of Old and New Art) in Hobart made a splash on the Aussie art scene when it opened in 2011. Its Tasmanian owner, David Walsh, described the thought-provoking collection of art and antiquities as a "subversive adult Disneyland."
After entering the museum's foyer at ground level, art lovers descend a spiral staircase to a subterranean gallery, where exhibits range from Sidney Nolan's Snake to an Egyptian sarcophagus and a machine that turns food into brown sludge. Portable touch screen devices provide commentary on the works.
Also on-site are entertainment venues, a trendy restaurant, library, cinema, and accommodation pavilions. The most popular way to travel to MONA is a 30-minute ferry ride along the Derwent River, which drops you off directly at the museum's steps.
Note that you need to buy tickets in advance. Check the website for details and opening hours.
Address: 655 Main Road, Berriedale, Hobart, Tasmania

About 80 kilometers from Hobart, Mount Field is one of Australia's oldest national parks. Here, you can explore magnificent rainforests, tall swamp gums, alpine moorland, and stunning waterfalls.
Beautiful walking trails wind throughout the park, which is often dusted with snow in the high moorlands until summer. The short Russell Falls Nature Walk to these triple-tiered cascades is suitable even for wheelchair-users. You can also hike around Lake Dobson , and experienced bushwalkers have a choice of more challenging routes.
One of the popular things to do in Tasmania in winter is cross-country skiing, and this is an ideal place to indulge, only a 90-minute drive from Hobart. In the fall, the park ignites with yellow, orange, and red-leafed trees. This is also the site where the last Tasmanian tiger was captured in 1930.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the spectacular Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park has become a symbol of one of Australia's most famous conservation victories. In the 1970s and 80s, this majestic mountain region of primeval rainforest, steep gorges, and wild rivers was the subject of bitter controversy over a proposal to dam the Franklin River. The opponents of the scheme, with their battle cry "No dams!" were victorious, and the wild beauty of the Franklin River and its surrounding wilderness remains.
Today, the national park is the nucleus of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area , which also includes the rocky 1,443-meter peak of Frenchman's Cap . Its Aboriginal sites are evidence of a rich Indigenous heritage stretching back more than 36,000 years.
White-water rafting enthusiasts come here to tackle the tumultuous Franklin River, one of the top outdoor adventures in Australia , and hikers enjoy the short walks. A highlight is Donaghys Lookout Walk . You can also explore the park by car on the Lyell Highway. Better still, hop aboard a river cruise from the west coast village of Strahan .
Official site: http://www.parks.tas.gov.au/indeX.aspX?base=3937
In a land of wilderness escapes, Maria Island truly stands out. Sitting off the east coast of Tasmania, this pristine, car-free island is a nature-lover's Eden. Among the top tourist attractions are the island's Painted Cliffs . Etched with russet-hued swirls of sediment, the Painted cliffs are a favorite subject for photographers. But you can also explore rugged mountains; wild, windswept beaches; fossil-flecked limestone cliffs; and dense forests.
Are you an animal lover? You'll find plenty of wildlife to ogle here, too, from wombats and wallabies to Tasmanian devils, ringtail possums, pademelons, and potoroos (small marsupials). Maria Island is also one of the top places to visit in Tasmania for bird-watching .
Other popular things to do on Maria Island include hiking the scenic trails, biking around the island, snorkeling and diving (if you can brave the cold waters), and exploring the area's rich history. While you're here, you can visit World Heritage-listed convict sites and learn about the Indigenous Puthikwilayti people, custodians of the land and surrounding waters for more than 40,000 years.
Want to stay overnight? Maria Island accommodation is limited. You can stay in basic bunks at the Penitentiary in Darlington, or pitch your tent in a campsite. But most visitors come here on day trips from Hobart.
If you're traveling here on your own, the ferry ride from Triabunna to Darlington, the island's main settlement, takes about 45 minutes. You won't find any shops here, so you'll need to bring everything you need with you, and pack it all out.
About 25 kilometers northeast of Hobart, Richmond is a kind of living open-air museum. Of all the early settlements in Tasmania, it presents the most complete and homogeneous picture of a Georgian colonial town. It was founded soon after the landing of the first settlers in Risdon Cove in 1803 and soon developed into the commercial center of a very fertile grain-growing district.
Richmond was also an important military post. Inmates from the town's penal colony constructed many of the buildings, as well as the Richmond Bridge , which dates from 1825 and is the oldest bridge in Australia.
Often seen in the background of bridge photos is the timber-topped St. Luke's Church , with beautiful stained-glass windows. It was so well constructed that the convict carpenter responsible was pardoned. A short distance to the north, the neo-Gothic St. John's Church , dating from 1837-59 is the oldest Roman Catholic Church in Australia.
Other historic highlights include Richmond Gaol and the well-preserved heritage buildings of Bridge Street. Traveling with kids? One of the top Tasmania attractions for families, the Old Hobart Town model village recreates life in the 1820s.
Many day trips to Richmond from Hobart also include a visit to Bonorong Wildlife Park in Brighton, where you can get up close to favorite Aussie animals like kangaroos, koalas, wombats, and Tasmanian devils.
On Tasmania's northwest coast, the Nut is a 143-meter-high volcanic plug, which looms over the picturesque heritage town of Stanley . Matthew Flinders, who viewed it in 1798, thought it was reminiscent of a Christmas cake with its steep, rounded sides and flat top.
You can climb the steep path to the Pinnacle, which takes about 15 minutes, or hop aboard a chairlift for fantastic photo opportunities. At the top, trails of varying lengths lead visitors through fern-fringed forests and to scenic lookouts with 360-degree views of the curving coastline, the quaint hamlet of Stanley, and surrounding farmland. Look for pademelons and wallabies along the trails, and take a jacket, as the top can be quite windy.
We recommend these wonderful hotels in Tasmania's top tourist spots:
- Saffire Freycinet is a luxury eco-hotel on the Freycinet Peninsula, with spectacular views and floor-to-ceiling glass-encased rooms.
- The mid-range Grand Chancellor Hotel Hobart is in a great location, with harbor views, a pillow menu, and a fantastic restaurant.
- Salamanca Inn is a family-friendly all-suite hotel on Hobart's waterfront, steps from Salamanca Place. Choose from one- or two-bedroom suites with full kitchens.
- About a 10-minute walk from Cataract Gorge and Launceston's CBD, The Mews Motel is a budget hotel in a heritage building. Chat with the friendly management, cook your own meals in the well-equipped outdoor kitchen, then snuggle into a comfy bed at this home away from home.

When to Go to Tasmania
Tasmania’s weather is very different from what most people think of when they think of Australia. Tasmania experiences four seasons and parts of the island see snow in winter. Christmas through to early February is peak time on the island as it is school holidays and temperatures are the warmest – a comfortable low 20s (C). If you are looking to avoid the crowds, the shoulder seasons are a great time to travel (March-April and October-November). Winter offers the best value, but will require lots of layers and winter clothing.
Weather in Tasmania can be very variable and change quickly regardless of which time of year you visit. Pack lots of clothes to layer and be prepared for swift weather changes. We experienced 12 degree weather and lots of rain at Cradle Mountain, even in January.
Tasmania Itinerary + Map
Tasmania is Australia’s smallest state and with a maximum width and length of 300 km, it is manageable to explore many of the highlights on one visit. You could race around and see the east coast sights in one week, but 10-14 days will give you a chance to slow down and explore a little bit deeper. This 1 and 2 week itinerary includes the Tasmania must see highlights and the best places to visit in Tasmania.
1 Week Tasmania Itinerary: Hobart, Port Arthur, Wineglass Bay (Freycinet National Park)
2 Week Tasmania Itinerary: Hobart, Port Arthur, Wineglass Bay, Bay of Fires, Launceston, Cradle Mountain National Park

Hobart is the capital and largest city of Tasmania with a population of 220,000. It’s walkable, has a relaxing vibe, a huge arts and culture scene and plenty of farm to table foodie restaurants. It’s harbourside setting with mountains and valleys surrounding the city make it a great base to explore the outdoors.
Start your visit by wandering the city, climbing Kelly’s Steps to the Battery Point neighborhood with its quaint cottages and views.
Hobart is famous for being home to MONA, the Museum of Old & New . This Hobart attraction is a privately funded museum that the owner describes as a “subversive adult Disneyland” and for many, it is the highlight of their time in Hobart. MONA is open from 10-6 in the summer, closed on Tuesdays and the entrance fee is $30/adult. It is located 11 km outside of Hobart. You can take a ferry or arrive by road.
Mawson’s Hut Replica Museum is a recreation of the hunt that Sir Douglas Mawson’s team built for their Antarctica expedition in 1911-1914.

Port Arthur and the Tasman Peninsula
Port Arthur is the best preserved convict site in Australia and was actually a penal colony for the penal colony. It is located 1.5 hours from Hobart, so you can visit on a day trip. However, the Tasman Peninsula in which Port Arthur sits on is worth spending a night or two.
Port Arthur is a fascinating place due to its historical significance not just from the convict era, but in more recent times as well. In 1996, 35 people lost their lives at the tourist site of Port Arthur as a gunman went on a shooting spree. Australia quickly took action and amended their gun control laws prohibiting semi-automatic weapons. Twenty years on and the government’s action has proven successful with a decline in mass shootings and firearm deaths.
Practical Information: Port Arthur is open every day of the year, 9 am to dusk. Tickets cost $40 AUD/adult, $18/child, $102/family (up to 6 children). There is a canteen on site serving meals, drinks and snacks.
Learning, learning, lots of learning.
While most visitors come to the Tasman Peninsula to visit Port Arthur, there are many other interesting things to see on the Peninsula. You can camp and hike at Tasman National Park at Fortescue Bay and visit many geological wonders including the Tesselated Pavement, Tasman Arch, Devil’s Kitchen, and Eaglehawk Neck. You can also take a boat cruise, visit a lavender farm and enjoy delicious Tasmanian cuisine.

Where to Stay Port Arthur
Stewarts Bay Lodge – within walking distance to Port Arthur Historic Site, this is the best accommodation if you want to be really close to Port Arthur. The lodge is cozy and homey with its own private beach and spacious cabins. Click here to check the latest prices.
Camping – We recommend staying at Fortescue Bay in Tasman National Park. The camp sites are located right near a beautiful beach and is a jumping off point for hikers doing multi-day hikes. Facilities are basic, but the wildlife opportunities are worth it. Note that the campground is 12 km off the highway, down a rough unsealed road. This is a popular campground, so booking are essential. Sites are $13-16/night. It is 17 km from the campground to the Port Arthur Historic Site.
Freycinet National Park – Wineglass Bay
Freycinet National Park surrounds Coles Bay on the east coast of Tasmania. The National Park is best known for Wineglass Bay, a gorgeous stretch of sandy beach and turquoise waters dotted with pink granite cliffs. It is one of the most popular things to see in Tasmania, so be prepared to share this special spot with other visitors.
The most common walk is to the Wineglass Bay Lookout, a 2.4 km return loop that takes 1-1.5 hours. From the lookout you can continue your hike down to Wineglass Bay, which will add 3.5 km return and another 1.5 hours. While Freycinet National Park is synonymous with Wineglass Bay, there are many other incredible places to explore in the National Park.
Where to Stay Freycinet National Park
You have a few choices of where to base yourself when visiting Freycinet National Park. You can stay in Coles Bay , or nearby Bicheno or Swansea .

Bay of Fires
Bay of Fires has gained quite a bit of attention recently as one of the most beautiful places in Australia. The unique orange covered boulders that litter the coast shine against the white sand beaches and turquoise waters, making for a photographer’s dream. Best of all, it is still off-the-beaten path so you can find deserted bays. While the water may look inviting, even in summer it never gets above 65 degrees, making for a very refreshing experience.
We spent hours climbing the big boulders, finding secret passages through the rocks, and exploring the tidal pools. The sunsets are incredible . The best way to experience the Bay of Fires is by camping, however you can stay in nearby Binalong Bay or St. Helens too.
Where to Stay Bay of Fires
Pelican Point Sanctuary – located just north of St. Helens, this quiet place really is a sanctuary. Located near the sea with abundant birdlife, the clean rooms and friendly staff, make this a great choice. Click here to check the latest prices.
Airbnb – there are a number of great airbnbs near the Bay of Fires. Burgess Cottage is a great choice.
Camping – Cosy Corner South campground is a basic free camping area with stunning views right on the water. It is first-come-first-serve and incredibly popular. There are a couple of drop toilets, but you need to bring in your own water and take out your waste.
Launceston is Tasmania’s second largest city and is best known for the beautiful Cataract Gorge. In the late 1800s, someone had the foresight to create this beautiful park around this breathtaking Gorge with walking trails, a large swimming pool, restaurants and even a chairlift across the water.
A 3.4 km walking track will take you around the Gorge and over the long suspension bridge. The free and chilly public swimming pool can be a great place to cool down or you can go for a swim in the river. You can ride the First Basin Scenic Chairlift across the river for $13/adult and $8/child, one-way. The chairlift is open everyday from 9 am.
Other ideas for things to do in Launceston include visiting the Saturday Harvest Market, City Park Launceston, Queen Victoria Museum & Art Gallery and of course the Tamar Valley wineries.
Where to Stay Launceston
Peppers Silo – this modern and comfortable hotel offers good value with great views of the city and river. Some of the rooms are located inside a renovated grain silo, making this a unique place to stay. Click here to check the latest prices.
Camping – the Big 4 Lauceston campground is very kid friendly with a playground and jumping pillow for the kids.
Cradle Mountain National Park
Cradle Mountain National Park was one of the highlights of our time in Tasmania and we wish we had allocated more than just one night here. The terrain is really unique – Lord of the Rings-like with wild alpine moorlands, glacial lakes and moss covered rainforest. The higher altitude makes it cool even in summer and it is known for its misty and moody weather. The hiking opportunities are fabulous with everything from short day hikes to multi-day epic trails.
To protect this fragile environment, the National Park provides mandatory shuttle service between the Visitor Centre and the most popular sights and hikes. A 24 hour Cradle Mountain pass costs $16.50/adult, $8.25/child, $41.25/family (2+3). Holiday passes for up to 8 weeks are also available.
The most popular hike is the Dove Lake circuit with gorgeous views of Cradle Mountain on a clear day. The circuit is 6 km and takes 2 hours. There are numerous other short hikes if you have time. You can almost guarantee that you will see a wombat in the National Park.
We only wishes we could have spent more than one night there and that it didn’t rain most of the time we were there.
Tassie is well known for its fabulous produce and food. On our 2.5 hour drive from Launceston to Cradle Mountain we did stop to sample some local foods highlighted in the Cradle to Coast Tasting Trail . We enjoyed the chocolates at Anvers Chocolates , tasted delicious cheeses at Ashgrove Cheese , sampled some yummy craft beer at 7 Sheds Brewery and visited enjoyed a lovely meal at the Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm.

Getting to Tasmania
Since Tasmania is an island, you have two choices of how to get here: you can fly or take a boat.
The main airports in Tasmania are in Hobart and Launceston which offer frequent directs flights to Melbourne and Sydney. Flights are 1-2 hours and cost AUD $100-200/each way.
The Spirit of Tasmania is a ferry that sails between Melbourne and Davenport in Tasmania. We opted for the ferry since we were bringing our car and thought it would be an interesting way to get across the Bass Strait. The Bass Strait is known to be a rough passage as the warm waters of the Indian ocean meet the Pacific through this narrow and shallow strait. Read our Tips For Taking the Spirit of Tasmania here. Spirit of Tasmania fares start at $89/person and $99/vehicle, but increase drastically during peak times.
Getting Around Tasmania (+Renting a Car in Tasmania)
The best way to explore Tasmania really is by car which gives you the most freedom. Many of the most beautiful spots are in between popular Tasmania tourist attractions and with your own car you can stop to enjoy a deserted beach that beckons or buy some fresh cherries from the farm stand.
Most visitors will rent a car from Hobart or Launceston. A 2WD is perfectly suitable for exploring the east coast of Tasmania. You will have to be comfortable driving on the left, but the roads are quiet and small. Similar to New Zealand, it does take longer to get around on the smaller roads.

Maps of Tasmania
Covering a land area of 68,401 sq. km, the island state of Tasmania is Australia’s smallest state that is located off the southern coast of Australia. As observed on the map, Tasmania is the most mountainous state in Australia. The central and western parts of the island state are dominated by the Central Highlands. Mount Ossa, which rises to an elevation of 1,617m is the highest point in Tasmania. The central-eastern parts of the island state are occupied by the flat Midlands. Most parts of Tasmania are covered by dense forests and the Southwest National Park supports some of the Southern Hemisphere’s remaining temperate rainforests. With an area of 3,800sq.km, Tarkine which is located in the island’s extreme northwestern part hosts Australia’s largest temperate rainforest. Due to the island’s rugged topography, there are many rivers in Tasmania such as the Derwent, South Esk, etc. Some of the notable lakes in Tasmania include Great Lake, Gordon Lake, and Pedder Lake. The lowest point in Tasmania is the Indian Ocean (0m).
Counties Map
Tasmania, an island state of Australia , lies approximately 150 miles to the southeast of the mainland, separated by the Bass Strait . Covering an area of about 26,410 square miles, Tasmania is the 26th largest island globally. It borders the Indian Ocean to the west and south and the Tasman Sea to the east. The island state comprises about 334 surrounding smaller islands.
The geography of Tasmania divides into several distinct regions, which include the West Coast, the Central Plateau, the Midlands, the East Coast, and the Southeast. Each of these regions features unique topography, climate, and natural features.
The West Coast of Tasmania is predominantly rugged and mountainous, characterized by dense rainforests and steep terrain. The region is abundant with a variety of minerals, making it a significant center for mining in the past. Major rivers in the West Coast region include the Franklin, Gordon, and Pieman Rivers. These rivers have carved deep gorges and valleys throughout the landscape, creating stunning vistas and providing natural habitats for diverse flora and fauna.
The Central Plateau, also known as the Central Highlands, is a significant elevated region in Tasmania, with an average elevation of 2,952 feet above sea level. This region hosts a variety of alpine vegetation and several glacial lakes. Great Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Tasmania, is located within the Central Plateau, covering an area of approximately 61 square miles. The region also includes the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, which is home to Tasmania's highest peak, Mount Ossa, standing at 5,305 feet.
The Midlands region lies in the central part of Tasmania and features a predominantly flat, agricultural landscape. The region experiences a drier and warmer climate compared to the West Coast, making it suitable for farming. The South Esk and the Macquarie Rivers are two significant rivers that traverse the Midlands, providing essential water sources for irrigation and supporting the agriculture-dependent economy.
The East Coast of Tasmania is renowned for its picturesque coastline, white sandy beaches, and mild climate. The region features several stunning bays and inlets, including Wineglass Bay and the Bay of Fires. The Freycinet Peninsula, a popular tourist destination, is home to the scenic Freycinet National Park. Several rivers flow through the East Coast, such as the Prosser, Swan, and Ansons Rivers, which contribute to the region's diverse and lush vegetation.
Lastly, the Southeast region of Tasmania is home to the state capital, Hobart, situated along the Derwent River. This region features a mix of coastal landscapes and rugged mountainous terrain, including the Tasman Peninsula, known for its towering sea cliffs and unique rock formations. The Huon and the Derwent Rivers are two major rivers that run through the Southeast region, providing essential water resources for both urban and rural communities.
