On arrival at Coles Bay, board the Naturaliste for a spectacular sea cruise down the peninsula to Schouten Island (weather permitting).

Day two is a peaceful walk through forests and beaches to the renowned Wineglass Bay, or you can choose to tackle the more challenging walk to the top of Mount Graham, descending via the spectacular Quartzite Ridge to Wineglass Bay. Explore Bluestone Bay on day three then journey through pristine bushland via secluded cliff-tops to the Southern Friendly headland. Follow the white sands of Friendly Beaches home to the Lodge. After breakfast on day four, there are walking options around the Lodge's 130-acre property, or you may wish to relax on the deck with a book from the extensive library. After lunch at the lodge, a stroll along Friendly Beaches brings you to Isaac's Point. Here, you are met by our vehicle for the journey back to Hobart.

Tasmania, Australia’s island state, provides a rare opportunity to encounter unique and endemic wildlife. Renown as a prime area for marsupial spotting, Tasmania is a crucial habitat for many species, including quolls, kangaroos, wallabies, wombats and the most famous resident, the Tasmanian Devil. Tasmania provides sanctuary for an abundance of birdlife, including the twelve endemic species, as well as marine mammals and the only two types of egg-laying mammals in the world, echidna and platypus. Our focus on this small-group tour is to observe wildlife in the wild. It is a soft-adventure tour focusing on wildlife and wilderness but offers a level high level of comfort.

From the top of Hobart’s Mt Wellington through to stunning Freycinet National Park and Cradle Mountain, we’ll discover the state’s checkered history, explore dense rainforests and deep gorges, take in iconic vistas and sample sumptuous fresh produce. Our small group tours connect people, places and cultures.
