Description
This Australia travel package allows visitors to explore the unique island of Tasmania on a relaxing self-drive from Hobart to Launceston. This scenic route provides a taste of Tasmania’s beautiful East coast: white sandy beaches, swimming lagoons, wildlife, and amazing history. Tasmania is the 26th largest island in the world surrounded by several other smaller islands. Known for its undisturbed wilderness, clean air, more than 1000 mountain peaks, lush green valleys, low populated towns, local seafood and wine, and distinct four seasons, Tasmania is a treasure not to be missed.
The route starts at Hobart and follows the coast passing through Freycinet National Park with breathtaking views of St. Helens, while finishing up in the small yet bustling city of Launceston. This Tasmania package is a great way to sample the island and a perfect add-on to any Australia vacation itinerary.
