What are the best things to do in Tasmania?

Tasmania's highlights include Cradle Mountain and the Overland Track, MONA (Museum of Old and New Art), Freycinet National Park and Wineglass Bay, the Port Arthur Historic Site, Bay of Fires coastal walk, Bruny Island food trail, and the stunning Southwest Wilderness. Hobart is the perfect base.

How many days do you need in Tasmania?

We recommend 5-7 days minimum. A 5-day tour covers Hobart, Cradle Mountain, and either the East Coast or West Coast. A 7-10 day trip allows you to explore more thoroughly including the Bay of Fires, Freycinet, and Southwest National Park. Tasmania rewards slow travel.

What is the best time to visit Tasmania?

December to March (summer/autumn) offers the warmest weather and longest days, ideal for hiking and outdoor activities. Tasmania can be cool year-round so always pack warm layers. Autumn (March-May) brings stunning foliage colours and fewer crowds.
