Which part of Tasmania is the best?

Tasmania is known for its 6 distinct regions. Each offering unique adventures & experiences. Want to know which part of Tassie is the best? Here’s the lowdown.

North West Tasmania

Most under-discovered region

Where the whispers of ancient forests mingle with the salty breeze of rugged coastlines. Cradle Mountain, the Tarkine, dramatic coastlines at Table Cape. You’ll be spoilt for choice.

Hobart & the South

The most popular travel region

Find winding roads leading to hidden coves, dramatic Dolomite cliffs and picturesque towns.  Revel in Hobart’s history, gastronomy, and edgy art scene.

The Central Highlands

Remote, peaceful & untravelled

Go where the tourists don’t. Snowy vistas, windswept tarns and pristine wilderness await. Fish for trout in the Great Lakes and hike the Walls of Jerusalem, every step taking you further into Tassie’s great unknown…

Launceston & the North

Foodie haven

Heritage, good food and even better wine converge in the North East. Ride the trails at Derby, down a pint at the Pub in the Paddock, tour the Tamar. Pinot Noir anyone?

The West Coast

Iconic nature

The Western Wilds is certainly that. Puff your way up the wilderness railway. Glide along the Franklin-Gordon River. Spin your wheels on Queenstown’s trails Whatever your fancy, grab your raincoat and your camera, you’re in for a wild ol’ time.

The East Coast

Beachside eatin’ seafood 

Paddle the azure waters lapping white sandy beaches. Tuck in to glistening red lobster washed down with a flawless cool climate wine. Walking along flaming shorelines gazing out at an ocean that stretches all the way to Antartica. It’s all romance and good times in the east.

Tasmania Travel FAQs

Is Tasmania worth visiting?

Absolutely. Tasmania is unique from the rest of Australia. It’s amazing wildlife and spectacular landscapes, coastline and beaches make Tassie a must visit. The diversity of natural attractions packed into one little island will astound you.

It’s also a world class producer of wine, gin, whiskey, and craft beer.

Plus, if you like to breathe, come and gulp down some of the cleanest air on Earth.

What is the best way to travel around Tasmania?

Tasmania is hard to travel around without a car. There’s just not the population here to warrant large investments in public transport within it’s cities and towns.

There are inter-city buses / coaches to transport people around the island. Kinetic (Redline) is one of the main coach services. There are no passenger rail services.

Taxis into regional airports (Devonport, Burnie) have to be booked ahead. You won’t find them waiting at the airport to pick up passengers. The same goes for taxi travel from Launceston Airport.

What is the best month to visit Tasmania?

Donec rutrum congue leo eget malesuada. Vestibulum ac diam sit amet quam vehicula elementum sed sit amet dui. Nulla porttitor accumsan tincidunt. Donec sollicitudin molestie malesuada. Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et

How long does it take to travel around Tasmania?

If you want to loop around Tasmania by car, we recommend at least 10 days. You won’t get to see everything. And you’ll miss swathes of Tasmania’s stunning interior – the Central Highlands especially. 

10 days will give you the highlights of the entire island. You’ll get to see a snapshot of Hobart and surrounds, main East Coast attractions like Wineglass Bay and the Bay of Fires. You’ll also see parts of the West Coast, Cradle Mountain, and some attractions in the North West.
