Planning a trip to Tasmania next year?
Tasmania coastal scenery
This post will surely whet your appetite and inspire you to plan your next holiday on this exquisite island whether you are planning a camper holiday or an escorted motorhome tour with us!
You’ll love Tassie. It may be Australia’s smallest state but this immensely beautiful island of ancient forests, snow-capped mountains and wild coastline will delight all of your senses. Tasmania can take you from ancient World Heritage listed forest one day, to a vibrant and exciting city, or wandering along a deserted white beach the next.
As unique as it is breathtaking, Tasmania offers an extraordinary range of experiences, possesses some of the most pristine and untouched environments in the world as an astonishing one third of the island is covered by National Park and World Heritage Areas, protecting the unspoilt landscapes and enormous diversity of native plants and animals.

With its pristine environment, the ‘Apple Isle’ is a foodie’s paradise and boasts some of Australia’s best produce, food and wine. It will charm you with its tiny fishing villages, vibrant cities and spectacular natural wonders. Uncover the fascinating convict history, cultured cities and vibrant arts scene and enjoy the sheer diversity of scenery that unfolds before you…..every turn literally taking your breath away.
Take in panoramic views from lighthouses, chairlifts and the tops of waterfalls! Devour freshly baked scallop pies and cherries straight from the tree. Sip award winning cool climate wines. And you’ll love meeting the natives…devils, wombats, penguins…even a glow-worm or two!

When setting off on your holidays here, you’ll set out from Hobart. Delightful Hobart is voted again and again as one of the world’s favourite cities. Nestled in the foothills of majestic Mount Wellington at the entrance of the Derwent River, Tasmania’s capital city will charm you with its perfect fusion of heritage and cosmopolitan lifestyle. The small city centre is lined with beautiful Georgian buildings which house cafes, galleries and micro-breweries. You’ll love the historic essence of the city, the vibrant food and wine scene and the world-class attractions, such as the avant-garde MONA Gallery.
So if you’re planning on hiring a campervan you’ll pick up your camper from Hobart and will need an idea of itinerary!
