Tasmania is Australia's island state, sitting off the southeast coast across the Bass Strait, and it feels like a different country: cool-climate wine, convict-era history, alpine parks, white beaches with orange lichen-covered boulders, and some of the cleanest air on the planet. Getting there means one extra flight after the Pacific crossing, and our experts make sure the connections and the driving loop fit your dates.
Why Tasmania for your vacation
Almost half of Tasmania is protected wilderness, including a World Heritage area that stretches across the west and center of the island. Hobart, the capital, sits below Mount Wellington on the Derwent River with a Georgian waterfront, the Saturday Salamanca Market and a world-famous private art museum reached by ferry. The east coast has Freycinet's pink granite peaks and Wineglass Bay, the Bay of Fires' white sand and turquoise water, and the convict site at Port Arthur. In the north, Launceston's Cataract Gorge and the Tamar Valley vineyards lead toward Cradle Mountain. Tasmania is also a food destination, known for oysters, salmon, cheese, whisky, cider and cool-climate pinot noir.
What's included in a Tasmania package
- Round-trip international flights on major airlines from your US city to Sydney or Melbourne, plus domestic flights to Hobart or Launceston.
- Accommodation at well-known resort brands and independent hotels: waterfront hotels in Hobart, boutique inns in Launceston, coastal lodges at Freycinet and wilderness lodges at Cradle Mountain.
- A rental car from our car rental desk for self-drive loops, or guided touring with a driver.
- Experiences such as a Wineglass Bay cruise, a Bruny Island wilderness cruise, a Port Arthur historic site visit, a Tamar Valley wine tour or a guided Cradle Mountain walk.
- Optional extras: a Sydney or Melbourne stopover, a Tasmanian devil sanctuary visit, a multi-day guided walk, and premium cabins across the Pacific.
Inclusions vary by season and property. Call for current pricing on your dates and we will quote the whole trip as one figure.
Best time to visit Tasmania
Tasmania has a cool temperate climate with four distinct seasons, reversed from the US. Summer, December through February, brings the warmest days in the 60s and 70s Fahrenheit, long evenings and the best conditions for beaches and hiking; it is also the busiest season. Autumn, March through May, is a favorite of our experts for calm, clear weather, golden deciduous beech in the highlands and harvest time in the vineyards. Winter, June through August, is cold with snow on the mountains and a cozy festival in Hobart, and it can be wonderful for aurora watching in the south. Spring, September through November, brings wildflowers and waterfalls but changeable weather. Pack layers whenever you go.
Where to stay: areas and resort styles
Hobart is the natural base, with waterfront hotels around Sullivans Cove and Salamanca Place, boutique stays in Battery Point and apartment hotels in the center. On the east coast, Coles Bay and Freycinet offer coastal lodges, cabins and a luxury lodge with bay views, while Bicheno and St Helens serve the Bay of Fires. The Tasman Peninsula has small hotels near Port Arthur. Launceston combines heritage inns and modern hotels, and the Tamar Valley has vineyard cottages. Cradle Mountain has a cluster of wilderness lodges and cabins at the park entrance.
Things to do in Tasmania
- Hike to the Wineglass Bay lookout in Freycinet and cruise beneath the Hazards' pink granite cliffs.
- Walk the Dove Lake circuit beneath Cradle Mountain and spot wombats at dusk.
- Explore the Port Arthur convict settlement and take the harbor cruise past the Isle of the Dead.
- Take the wilderness cruise along Bruny Island's sea cliffs to see seals, dolphins and albatross.
- Browse Hobart's Salamanca Market on Saturday and ride the ferry to the famous art museum.
- Drive the Tamar Valley wine route and see Launceston's Cataract Gorge.
- Photograph the orange boulders and white sand of the Bay of Fires.
- Meet Tasmanian devils at a conservation sanctuary and taste oysters, whisky and cheese along the way.
Getting there from the US
Fly from the US to Sydney or Melbourne, roughly 14 to 15 hours nonstop from Los Angeles or San Francisco and roughly 16 to 18 hours from Dallas, Houston or New York, then connect to Hobart or Launceston on a domestic flight of roughly 1 to 2 hours. Our experts often route you into Hobart and out of Launceston, or the reverse, so your drive is a one-way loop with no backtracking. You cross the International Date Line, arriving two calendar days after departure. US passport holders need an electronic travel authority obtained before departure; verify requirements before travel. Australia uses the Australian dollar and English. Tasmania observes daylight saving from October to April, so it is 14 to 16 hours ahead of US Eastern Time depending on the season.
Who this package suits
Couples and honeymooners love the lodges of Freycinet and Cradle Mountain and the food and wine around Hobart. Families enjoy wildlife sanctuaries, easy walks and beaches, and seniors appreciate guided touring, short driving days and our senior travel reservations. Hiking clubs and extended families can use group travel flights, and travelers making the long Pacific crossing often choose business class or first class. First-timers to Australia usually pair Tasmania with Sydney or Melbourne, which we arrange as one itinerary.
