Select participants and date
On the first morning the van peels away from Hobart before dawn and the Derwent River blinks in the low light. The island air grows saltier as you cross to Bruny; cliffs ahead stand like weathered pages, and the guide talks quietly about seabirds that have made those pages their permanent print. Over the next four days the itinerary moves with the coast and then inland—old-growth rainforest, windswept headlands and the odd cellar door where gin and whiskey arrive like an earned reward.

Adventure Tips
Layer for changeable weather
Tasmanian weather switches quickly—pack a breathable rain shell over insulating mid‑layers to stay comfortable on both coastal wind and cool rainforest shade.
Grip and ankle support matter
Choose sturdy hiking shoes with good tread—beach sand, boardwalks and loose rock all appear in a single day.
Hydrate and plan snacks
Lunches are provided but carry a 1–2 liter water reservoir and energy snacks for restless sections and cold, damp mornings.
Tasting etiquette and safety
If you plan to sample whiskey or gin, inform your guide—transport is provided and responsible pacing prevents problems later in the day.
Local Insights
Wildlife

History
This region carries Palawa cultural history and later European layers—from whaling and convict activity to small family farms that now operate boutique vineyards and distilleries.
Conservation
Stick to formed trails to protect fragile coastal heath and rainforest understorey; operators encourage minimal plastic use and support small local producers.
