Tasmania: Australia's Wild Little Secret

Tasmania packs a continent's worth of drama into an island you can lap in a week: sea cliffs among the highest in Australia, a rock that literally breathes, convict ruins on cold beautiful harbours, and chocolate foundries where the history gets delicious.

Bruny Island's wilderness cruises are the headline, seals, sea caves and albatross from a wave-piercing boat, with Port Arthur's story and the Tasman Peninsula's coastline close behind. Come in any season; Tassie doesn't do boring weather.

Good questions, straight answers

What is the best boat tour in Tasmania?

Bruny Island's three-hour wilderness cruise is the state's most awarded, sea cliffs among Australia's highest, deep caves, the 'Breathing Rock', and seals, dolphins and albatross along the way. A bus-and-ferry package from Kettering makes it car-free.

Is Port Arthur worth visiting?

It's Tasmania's most visited site for a reason, a whole convict settlement preserved on a beautiful, haunting harbour. Day tours from Hobart add Eaglehawk Neck, Remarkable Cave and (crucially) a chocolate foundry.

How do you get around Tasmania without a car?

Day tours cover the heavy hitters from Hobart, Bruny Island, Port Arthur and the Tasman Peninsula, with pickups included, so a few well-chosen bookings replace a rental entirely.
