East Coast Adventure
Tassie’s Wild Heart — Nature, History, and Remote Beauty
Venture into Tasmania’s wild west — a place where ancient forests breathe mist through mountain valleys, and time seems to move at nature’s pace. This journey isn’t polished or primped, it’s pure, powerful Tasmania.
From mirror-like lakes and rainforest walks to rugged towns steeped in frontier history, you’ll experience a part of the island that still feels wild and untouched.
This is one of Tasmania’s most scenic and soul-stirring journeys, a full-day (or multi-day) exploration designed for travellers who want more than a postcard view.
With your local guide behind the wheel, every stop becomes a story, every track a thread in Tasmania’s rich, wild fabric.

Scenery and Food
Depart
Your Journey Into the Wild Begins
Your driver-guide collects you from your Hobart accommodation for an early start and a day filled with stunning contrasts.
As you leave Hobart behind, the road takes you northwest through the Derwent Valley — where farmland gives way to forest, and winding rivers hint at the untamed landscapes ahead. Expect wide skies, earthy scents, and commentary that brings the land and its people to life.
Discover
Wild Places, Remote Towns, Deep Connections
This tour isn’t about ticking boxes — it’s about feeling Tasmania’s raw energy.
Lake St Clair: Wander the peaceful lakeshore of Australia’s deepest lake. Surrounded by forest and glacial peaks, this is the southern end of the famed Overland Track.
Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair National Park: Optional short walks like Watersmeet or Platypus Bay offer glimpses of native wildlife and rainforest scenery.
The Wall in the Wilderness (Optional): A stunning hand-carved narrative in timber, this is one of Tasmania’s most profound cultural installations.
Franklin–Gordon Wild Rivers National Park: Towering myrtle, fern-lined tracks, and optional short stops like Nelson Falls create a truly immersive wilderness moment.
Queenstown: A stark contrast — once a copper mining hub, this scarred landscape tells stories of industry, resilience, and rebirth.
Strahan: This tiny harbour town is the final stop on the edge of Macquarie Harbour. With its boats, pinewood sawmills, and gentle pace, it’s a taste of frontier life.
Optional Gordon River Cruise: Time and conditions permitting, glide through glassy waterways lined by rainforest older than the Amazon — a rare and peaceful experience.
Taste
Hearty, Honest, and Real Tasmanian Fare
This isn’t a fine dining itinerary — it’s full of comfort, flavour, and character.
Morning Coffee Stop: Pause in Ouse or Derwent Bridge for a warm drink, a bakery treat, and a breather before the forest roads.
Lunch at a Highland Lodge or Local Café: Expect something hearty and local — slow-cooked meats, warming soups, homemade pies, or seasonal produce platters.
Afternoon Tea (Optional): A café in Strahan or Queenstown may offer time for something sweet, a glass of wine, or a quiet harbour view before the return trip.
Callout: Here, the flavours are as unspoiled as the landscape — honest food, generous plates, and views to match.
Return
Scenic Silence and Stories on the Way Home
As the sun dips lower, your guide begins the return journey east. The road back takes you through mountain passes and forested valleys, with time to pause for photos or a final moment of quiet in Tasmania’s inland highlands. You’ll arrive back in Hobart in the early evening — full of fresh air, new perspectives, and a deeper understanding of Tasmania’s wilder side.
With dramatic wilderness, mirrored lakes, and remote landscapes you won’t find on the typical tour buses, this day is pure west-coast Tasmania — wild, breathtaking, and wonderfully unhurried.
