About Tasmania
Why Visit Tasmania With Us?
Tasmania is quite literally the land that got away. Considered one of our last great wilderness frontiers, Tassie is a thriving life raft for animals found nowhere else on earth with vast areas of uninhabited wilderness and a tiny population for the landmass. So challenging is its landscape and so rich is its diversity that creating a holiday in Tasmania is akin to doing a 10,000 piece jigsaw puzzle. We have spent over two decades unearthing its innermost secrets - no one knows it better.
"Simply wonderful. We cannot fault anything. We loved the wildlife, the wilderness and a brilliant array of accommodation and great hospitality. Susie has a wealth of knowledge so you can trust her to plan and book it for you."
Where is Tasmania?
Tasmania lies just 150 miles south of the Australian mainland and only a 45-minute flight from Melbourne, or under 90 minutes from Sydney with regular connections to the two main cities, Hobart in the south and Launceston in the north. There are also direct flights from Adelaide and Perth.
How To Get To Tasmania
Travelling to Tasmania is considerably easier than you may think given that it is rightly regarded as one of the world's last wilderness frontiers.
Tassie's Regions
Tassie, as the island is affectionately known, is Australia's only island state after separating from the mainland 15,000 years ago and consists of five different regions.
Island Hopping
Despite being known as Australia’s only island state, Tasmania is, in fact, an archipelago of 334 islands, all of which are hugely diverse, offering a wide range of habitats to birds and mammals.
A visit to one of Tasmania’s offshore islands will a very special dimension to your holiday and with access ranging from a 15-minute ferry ride to a 25-minute flight, it is considerably easier than you might imagine.
