4 Day Tasmanian Tour

This tour explores the Stunning East Coast of Tasmania with a small group of active, like minded travellers.

Travelling in a 4WD with no more than 10 other passengers be treated to the best bits of the east coast in an active tour with plenty of hiking and outdoor activites.

Not a luxury tour by any stretch of the imagination, (although you will enjoy a roast dinner at camp!) this tour is all about getting out into Tassies spectacular wilderness and coatal destinations. See the wonderfull views of Wineglass Bay from Mt Amos, feel the cool, crisp winds comming straight off the Southern Ocean (last stop antarctica) at Cape Raoul and sit around a campfire with a group of other backpackers after a hard day of hiking and exploring.

This tour begins in Hobart and ends in Launceston. If you really want to experience the astonishing variety of Tasmania's mild side in a small group camping tour, away from the cowds and into the remote wilderness areas, then we highly reccomend this tour.

National Parks visited on this tour include the Tasman National Park, Freycinet National Park and Bay of Fires Conservation Park.For more information on Tassies National Parks visit: Parks Tasmania.

Tasmanian 4 Day Tour Itinerary

Day 1, 4 Day 4WD Tasmanian Tour

There is no point in sleeping in when there is adventure to be had, and the 4 day Tasmanian Tour is no exception. Pick ups from the various hostels and hotels in Hobart start at 6.30am, after which any ticketing is completed then it's on the road, heading for the magnificant Tasman Peninsula.

The Tasman Peninsula, named after the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman, is a large peninsula to the South East of Hobart and connected to the Tasmanian Island by a thin strip of land about 150 metres wide known as Eaglehawk Neck. The peninsuala is home to one of the most famous convict prisons called Port Arthur, and realistically only the Eaglehawk Neck needed to be guarded for prison escapes off the Peninsula.

The destination for day 1 is Cape Raoul, which is a rugged and spectacular dolomite pillar cape located within the Tasman National Park. The cape Raoul hike is around 5 hours return and much of it follows the rugged cliff tops and offers spectacular panoramic views of Cape Raoul, the Tasman National Park and Southern Ocean.

Day 2, 4 Day 4WD Tasmanian Tour

The destination for day 2 is the Freycinet National Park located 125kn NE of Hobart. Freycinet is the oldest National Park in Tasmania, it was founded in 1916 and named after French navigator Louis de Freycinet, I doubt he ever imagined the extent of the Wine Glass Bay Tours which would take place years later!

The most Famous icon with the park is probably Wineglass Bay, which has been voted by several travel authorities as one of the world's best ten beaches and is a magical place, a classic azure bay with white sandy beach.

The 3hr+ hike up Mt Amos offers outstanding views of Wineglass Bay. Mt Amos is part of the range of granite mountains, known as the Hazards, which dominate the coles Coles Bay landscape. The Mt Amos walks is quite steep but the view from the summit are worth every step.

After the Mt Amos hike a hearty lunch is follwed by more exploration of the East Coast where there are more stunning beaches and waterholes for a quick swim

• Freycinet National Park
• Wineglass Bay (Views)
• Hike: Mt Amos 3hrs +
• Camping: Bush Camp.
