The island of Tasmania is characterised by scenic splendour, geographical diversity and cultural charm. Plentiful, fruitful farming and a general rustic bliss lie behind its nickname of the 'Apple Isle', yet it also has some of Australia's most formidable tracts of wilderness.

On the rugged West Coast lies the pretty village of Strahan, near the mouth of one of the most pristine waterways in Australia - the Gordon River. An area characterised by wild and beautiful landscapes, the West Coast draws adventurers from all over the globe. Tasmania's east coast, on the other hand, has a more tranquil ambience, typified by the sweeping white sandy beaches and rocky shores of the Freycinet Peninsula. More towards the centre of the island state, Cradle Mountain is an Alpine wonderland characterised by glacial carved lakes and massive granite peaks.

Tasmania is also known for its fine food and wine. Some of Australia's best cheeses, beers, wines and delicacies are sourced from various regions in Tasmania. We invite you to discover all that Tasmania has to offer on our 12-day Wilderness Escape.
