About the Trip

Tasmania has become one of the world's great luxury destinations, and this seven-day journey gathers its finest lodges, wildest landscapes and most celebrated food and wine. From the harbour of Hobart to an award-winning coastal sanctuary at Freycinet and the alpine wilderness of Cradle Mountain, it is the island at its most refined.

You'll dine on just-shucked oysters over Great Oyster Bay, gaze down on the perfect arc of Wineglass Bay, walk with wombats beneath Cradle Mountain's jagged peaks, and explore the audacious MONA museum. All-inclusive luxury lodges, private guiding and gourmet dining make every day effortless.

It is wilderness without compromise — the wild heart of Tasmania, wrapped in exceptional comfort.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this a luxury journey?

Everything is private or exclusive — signature lodges and five-star hotels, private guides and transfers, gourmet dining and once-in-a-lifetime experiences such as helicopter flights and private charters.

Are most meals included?

Yes. At the all-inclusive lodges, breakfast, lunch and dinner (and often fine wines) are included; elsewhere daily breakfast plus curated signature lunches and dinners are part of the package.

Are transfers and touring private?

Entirely. You travel with your own guide and driver, or by private charter, helicopter or seaplane where the itinerary calls for it.

Do I need a visa for Australia?

Most visitors need an ETA or eVisitor visa, applied for online before travel. We can guide you to the right one for your nationality.

Can this be tailored further?

Of course — the lodges, experiences and pace can all be personalised, and we can add private dining, spa days or extra nights. This is bespoke travel at its finest.

What does all-inclusive mean at the Freycinet lodge?

At the coastal lodge, all meals, fine Tasmanian wines and a choice of guided experiences are included — you simply relax and enjoy. Elsewhere, breakfast and signature meals are included.

Will we see Tasmanian devils?

Yes — a sanctuary visit guarantees it, and around Cradle Mountain you are very likely to spot wombats, pademelons and echidnas in the wild too.
