HOBART GUIDED TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Wild Island: Seven Days Through Tasmania’s Rainforests, Peaks and Pristine Coastlines
A 6‑night, 7‑day small‑group eco‑certified journey from Hobart that stitches together Cradle Mountain, the West Coast wilderness, Bay of Fires and Freycinet.
Wild Island: Seven Days Through Tasmania’s Rainforests, Peaks and Pristine Coastlines.
This guided, eco‑certified circuit departs Hobart and threads Tasmania’s most elemental landscapes — ancient rainforests and alpine peaks, wild west‑coast fjords and coral‑tinted beaches — into a single seven‑day itinerary that balances trekking, wildlife encounters and cultural stops.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Cradle Mountain’s alpine backbone
The itinerary includes a visit to Cradle Mountain — a UNESCO‑listed alpine area offering classic walks such as the Dove Lake circuit and Marion’s Lookout — and anchors the trip’s high country exploration.
Bay of Fires and Wineglass Bay
The route puts two of Tasmania’s most luminous coastal landscapes on view: the orange‑laced beaches of the Bay of Fires and the curved sweep of Wineglass Bay inside Freycinet National Park, both reached as part of the east‑coast day stages.
Tasmanian devils, penguins and Port Arthur
Wildlife encounters are built into the program — from a visit to Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary to possible penguin sightings at Bicheno — and the cultural arc culminates with the historic Port Arthur site on the Tasman Peninsula.
