If your time to travel in Tasmania is limited, but you still want to take in some of the State’s spectacular coastal scenery, then embark on a 3-night tour from Hobart to Launceston via the Freycinet Peninsula, taking in some of Tasmania’s top attractions - award-winning vineyards, local producers and white sandy beaches - along the way.
Touring
Tasmania is perfect for touring by car – the roads are good, traffic is generally light and distances are comfortably short, so you won’t need to rush – there’s plenty of time to pause and enjoy highlights of the journey along the way.
The scenery is remarkably varied – the East Coast’s long white beaches, steep and rugged peaks in highland wilderness, the West Coast’s ancient rainforests and dark rivers.
Ideally, you should plan to select a key destination as a base and experience all that the region has to offer – then move on to discover somewhere else, completely different.
