Tasmania, Australia

2 itineraries · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Tasmania is Australia's only island state, sitting roughly 240 kilometres south of the mainland across the Bass Strait, and is renowned for its vast, largely untouched wilderness. Nearly half the island is protected as national parks, World Heritage Areas, and nature reserves, making it a magnet for hikers, wildlife enthusiasts, and adventure travellers. The Overland Track, Freycinet Peninsula, and Cradle Mountain are among its most iconic destinations, while the capital Hobart draws visitors with its vibrant food scene, MONA (Museum of Old and New Art), and historic Salamanca Market. Tasmania's cool climate, rugged coastline, and reputation for clean air and produce make it a standout destination for those seeking dramatic landscapes and authentic experiences.

Best of Tasmania: Self-Launched 10-Day Adventure

Tasmania is one of Australia's most jaw-dropping destinations — ancient rainforests, glacial lakes, convict heritage, and wildlife you won't find anywhere else on Earth. This self-launched itinerary follows the same route as On The Go Tours' Best of Tasmania trip, looping from Hobart through Queenstown, the Gordon River, the wild northwest coast, Cradle Mountain, the Bay of Fires, Freycinet, Bruny Island, and Port Arthur — all on your own terms. You'll hire a car (essential in Tassie), book your own budget accommodation, and self-book entry tickets directly, saving over £1,000 compared to the guided group tour. Costs are approximate estimates based on current budget traveller rates.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Tasmania, Australia yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
