Journey through Tasmania’s iconic landscapes on a 9-day small group tour with Premier Travel Tasmania. Experience pristine bays, rugged mountains, and unique wildlife up close.
Tasmania offers a compact yet fiercely wild playground for adventurers seeking rugged coastlines, ancient forests, and unique wildlife. Premier Travel Tasmania’s "9 Tage Höhepunkte Tasmaniens Kleingruppen Tour" takes you on a meticulously crafted 9-day journey through this island state’s most striking natural landscapes, accessed in an intimate group limited to eight guests. Starting from the historic city of Hobart, travelers are immersed in Tasmania’s varied regions, from the crystalline waters of Wineglass Bay to the stark alpine drama of Cradle Mountain National Park.
The tour’s small group size allows for a personalized experience that blends active exploration with cultural insights and local flavors. Guests cruise along the glittering Schouten Passage, spotting dolphins and seabirds before anchoring at the iconic Wineglass Bay, known for its distinctive horseshoe-shaped bay lined with pristine white sands and dense eucalyptus. Inland, Cradle Mountain offers a contrasting terrain: glacially scoured lakes, temperate rainforest, and rugged peaks where wombats and elusive Tasmanian devils roam.
The hike around Dove Lake provides exceptional photo opportunities and a chance to absorb the raw wilderness. Another highlight includes Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, a key conservation site that nurtures injured and endangered native species. Meeting these animals face-to-face deepens your understanding of Tasmania’s delicate ecosystems.
The tour also follows the eastern coast’s rugged beauty with stops at the fiery orange granite outcrops of Bay of Fires and historic towns like Richmond, rich with colonial heritage. Premier Travel Tasmania's commitment to small groups, local expertise, and sustainable practices makes this tour a standout choice for adventurous travelers who want both breadth and depth in Tasmania’s great outdoors.
