More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The coach eases out of Hobart before dawn and the city’s waterfront yields to hills that blur into rainforests and coastal slab. Over ten days you move through Tasmania the way locals do — by road, by ferry, by boarded boat — waking each morning in a different landscape: buttongrass plains that flex under wind, granite headlands that throw back surf, and glacial lakes that lie like old mirrors beneath peaks.
