Wings Wildlife Park Shuttle

Tasmania has a problem .. hire cars are often not available or prohibitively expensive to hire. But! Tasmania is a place you want to find your own way and choose where you want to go. Many places you might want to visit have no public transport meaning without a hire car you will miss out on some of the best of Tasmania. The way we work at eGuide to help is simple. You work out your trip and how long you want to spend in each place and the entry city and departure city. This would be Devonport, Burnie, Launceston or Hobart. Write it down as an itinerary and we will work out the transfers and cost it all for you. Where we can use public transport we will suggest that and that you book that or if you want us to do it then we can. For example, you might want to travel from Strahan to Hobart. Not a problem as there is a flight with Par Avion. Any combination is possible. Contact eGuide and we will work with you to create your own Tasmania without a car tour.

After travelling around the back of kunanyi/Mount Wellington along an old stock route, it continues through the orchard-filled Huon Valley. Aside from visiting Latrobe, Railton and Sheffield in the state’s north, the Tasmanian Trail also takes in Arthurs Lake, Bronte Park and New Norfolk, all of which have their own attractions to explore. It can be enjoyed by hikers, cyclists or horse riders, with campsites along the trail where you can overnight.
