We are based in Perth, Western Australia and we would like to explore Tasmania for 5 to 7 days, and especially those aspects of Natural beauty that are not there is Western Australia like snow clad mountains, southern lights (for sure), flower valleys and stunning beaches if they fall in the way. If we can have a one to two nights in a cruise, it will be great. We are targeting around the 10th of July, 25. We are three male adults and will go for a single room and an extra bed.

Tassie's East Coast Highlights departing 10th of July 2025 are not available anymore. The next available departure for this tour is 29th of September 2025.

I have mobility issues and I will need help and I am not sure I am appropriate for your tours. I would like a better idea of whether I could participate in a way that is meaningful.

This tour requires a low to medium level of fitness. Please note that there is a 500-metre circuit walk at the Port Arthur Historic Site. Additionally, all guests must be able to ascend and descend steep steps to board and disembark from the coach without assistance. If this may present a challenge, we kindly recommend travelling with a trusted companion who can assist you as needed.

I want to visit Australia on a tourism and would like help in the process including invitation letters and other documents to back it up at the embassy

Not enough time at Port Arthur, I advise not to do the boat trip included it's a waste of precious time, also the guide in Port Arthur very well informed but again to time consuming as you only got limited time to RUN to see everything, which is so unfortunate.Show more

The tour was great due to the efforts of our bus driver, Tom, and Gary out tour leader/commentator. I felt that it was a bit misleading that the tour said 5 days when it was in fact only 4 days with a drink the night before. The content of the trip was great and I will be back to do the East Coast highlights. Loved Launceston, Bicheno, Freycinet National Park and Wineglass Bay. Not so keen on Port Arthur but I guess it's a must see.Show more
