DISCOVERING TASMANIA
The island of Tasmania is separated from mainland Australia by the Bass Strait. The island is a place of natural
beauty and has more than 2000 km of walking tracks and 18 national parks. If you go on a tour, you’ll discover a
wild and beautiful place where the people are friendly and the food is delicious. If you don’t like walking, there
are other tours you can choose from including a river cruise and cycling. You can also combine your tour with
fishing, sailing or sunbathing on the beach.
One of the most incredible places to walk is along the Tarkine coast which is located in the north-west of
Tasmania. It’s such a wild and remote area that you can easily complete your walk without seeing anyone apart
from the members of your group and your two guides. The area contains the largest temperate rainforest in
Australia which is home to more than 50 endangered species. It is also home to many Aboriginal Heritage Sites.
Your guides will provide you with plenty of information about the area as you complete that part of your tour.
During your tour, you’ll come across rivers, mountain ranges, spectacular waterfalls, wildlife, and long wild
beaches. It will be an experience you won’t easily forget.
Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: You’re picked up from your hotel in the town of Launceston and driven to the Tarkine. You then
complete a three-hour walk through the forest before arriving at your camp at Mystery Creek. There you will
enjoy a delicious meal cooked by your guides. Day 2: After breakfast, you continue deeper into the rainforest,
passing some of the tallest trees in the world as you go, and stopping for lunch and then camp in the evening.
Day 3: The highlight of today’s trek is the Tarkine Falls, a beautiful 15 metre waterfall. Day 4: Today you can stay
at the camp and bathe in the Tarkine Falls, or you can go for a day trek for more fantastic views of the forest.
Day 5: After a last trek through the forest, you are picked up at about 4.00 p.m. and you arrive in Launceston
at around 7 p.m. The tour includes two professional guides, transport to and from the rainforest, all food while
on the tours and all safety equipment. You should buy or hire recommended camping equipment including:
backpacks, sleeping bags, sleep mats, head torches, rain coats and trousers.
