Are you looking for a holiday that gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace? A trip where you can chase the horizon down winding roads, from ancient rainforests to dramatic coastlines? A self-drive journey through Tasmania offers all that and more.
With a route map full of incredible options, you can design the perfect adventure. Here are four key experiences to build your Tasmanian story around.
The Iconic Cradle Mountain
No journey through Tasmania’s northern loop is complete without a visit to the iconic Cradle Mountain. As the map shows, it sits at the heart of the island’s magnificent highlands. It is a true must-see, offering a chance to immerse yourself in one of Australia’s most famous and breathtaking natural landscapes.
The Wild North-West Coast
For a journey to the rugged edge of Tasmania, follow the route to the far north-west. Here you can explore the historic coastal town of Stanley, discover the wild beauty of the Tarkine rainforest, and see natural wonders like Trowutta Arch. This loop is an adventure into the remote and untamed side of the island.
The Tasman Peninsula and Port Arthur
From Hobart, a scenic drive east takes you to the dramatic Tasman Peninsula. This area is not only known for its stunning coastal scenery but is also home to the historic site of Port Arthur, a key feature on the map. It’s a journey that combines powerful history with spectacular landscapes.
An Island Escape to Bruny Island
Just south of Hobart, the map highlights the route to beautiful Bruny Island. This side trip offers the perfect island escape, giving you a chance to leave the main island behind and discover a unique local character. It’s an essential stop on any southern Tasmanian itinerary.
With a self-drive holiday, the choice is yours. You can link these incredible destinations together to create the Tasmanian adventure you’ve always dreamed of.
