Itinerary

ITINERARY CHANGES Our itineraries are updated regularly throughout the year based on customer feedback and to reflect the current situation in each destination. The information included in this Essential Trip Information may therefore differ from when you first booked your trip. It's important that you review this information prior to travel so that you have the latest updates. Due to weather, local conditions, transport schedules, public holidays, political unrest or other factors, further changes may be necessary to your itinerary once in-country. Your group leader or local representative will keep you up to date with any such changes once your trip is underway. OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES A selection of optional activities that have been popular with past travellers are listed in the day-to-day itinerary. This isn't an exhaustive list and should be used as a guide only for some of what might be available. Prices are approximate, are for entrance fees only, and don’t include transport to and from the sites or local guides unless indicated. All activities are subject to availability, and maybe on a join-in basis. It may not be possible to do all the activities listed in the time available at each destination, so some pre-planning for what you are most interested in is advised. When it's recommended that travellers pre-book these activities, look for a note in the Special Information section of the day-to-day itinerary. For most, they can either be organised independently on the day, or let your group leader or local representative know you are interested at the Welcome Meeting and they can assist. Where activities are considered medium or high risk, we work with operators whose safety and credentials we have sighted and assessed. Although it is possible that you may find the same activity cheaper with another operator on the ground, we cannot vouch for the safety or quality of that operator. Medium and high-risk activities not listed above have not been assessed by us and as such our staff and group leader or local representative are unable to assist you with organising these activities. Activities that contravene our Responsible Travel policies are also not listed. Please remember that the decision to partake in any activity not listed is at your own discretion and risk.

Welcome to Hobart! After checking into your hotel, you’ll have a welcome meeting at 6 pm at your hotel where you'll get to know your fellow travellers and local leader.

After your meeting, head to a local restaurant for a welcome dinner, setting the tone for an incredible Tasmanian adventure!
Day 2 - Mt Field National Park
This morning, head to Mt Field National Park where you’ll take on the Three Falls Circuit – a beautiful walk that includes the iconic Russell Falls where you can stop for photos and to take in the gorgeous natural surroundings. The trail will have some short, steep sections and steps, but the lush rainforest and cascading waterfalls make it well worth the effort! Tonight is free to kick back, relax and share stories with your fellow travellers.

Day 4 - Hartz Mountains National Park
Today is all about exploring the rugged beauty of Hartz Mountains National Park – forming the eastern edge of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, this park is one of Tasmania's most accessible alpine areas!

For those keen on a challenge, a steep climb to the summit of Hartz Peak offers panoramic vistas in every direction.
Day 5 - Bruny Island
After a short ferry ride to Bruny Island this morning, you’ll begin your walk along the Cape Queen Elizabeth track, which features white sand beaches and headlands with breathtaking coastal views.

Day 6 - Bruny Island / Hobart
Wake up on the gorgeous Bruny Island today and explore the Fluted Capes track at Adventure Bay, which known for its dramatic coastal scenery.
