Tasmania--after Oz/NZ cruise??

[bornfreenowexpensive]

I am thinking about adding on a few days here after the cruise. Anyone ever use a tour company here?

 

Thanks

You can manage Tasmania on your own very easily as long as you are willing/able to drive while there.

Tasmania is small, very rugged and primarily a big attraction to hikers, campers, cavers and nature lovers. It has more diverse scenery and wildlife than I think Australia proper. Its geology wild.. You will need to have good mobility and a sense of adventure.... no 5 star places... but this is not why you come here

 

Places like Mole creek karst.( Look up That)... or other natural wonders.

 

Get a guide book and dig into the region I would give it not less than 3 days. Roads are small and it is not that easy to get around fast.

try and get to Port Arthur. Amazing place.

bornfree - We used an excellent tour agency in Tasmania, Let's Show You Tasmania Tours. http://www.showyoutasmania.com.au/

 

The owner, Heather Henri, a delightful woman, is one of the most experienced (and may well be the most experienced) guides on the island.

 

As her website declares, whether you are there for 8 hours or two weeks, she wants you to enjoy her lovely island state.

 

When we return, we will certainly use her services again.

I can vouch for Heather as well. The tour we had was excellent and covered most of the important sites. It has given us a taste and when we decide to go back to Australia and do a land tour, we would like to spend more time in Tasmania.

That sounds great. I am the only driver and not willing to drive on this trip. That's the reason for a tour person
