UNESCO World Heritage Wilderness
The Tasmanian wilderness is one of the largest conservation reserves in Australia measuring approximately 1.6 million hectares. It boasts hundreds of archaeological sites, a vast diversity of flora and is home to several animals either extinct or threatened on mainland Australia. Recognised by UNESCO for its ancient forests, the best way to experience it is on foot. At Freycinet National Park, guests can walk to the Wine Glass Bay lookout, one of the world’s most photographed locations. The Fluted Cape Trek, at the southern end of the picturesque Adventure Bay, rewards you with stunning views of Storm Bay. Another beautiful trek is the walk along the Mt Beattie track which affords walkers incredible views over Bathurst Harbour, Bathurst Channel and Melaleuca Inlet.

"We set off towards Beauty Point, where we explored Platypus House and Seahorse World. Divided into three groups, we each had the opportunity to embark on the tours and also had some time to visit the gift shop or café. At Seahorse World, guests gained insight into the challenges seahorses face in Tasmania, while Platypus House allowed for an up-close encounter with platypuses and echidnas. That afternoon we visited Josef Chromy for a delightful evening of wine tasting and dinner. The charming scenery of the vineyard made it a truly enjoyable evening."

"We woke to a sunny day in Freycinet. After breakfast we set off for our walks to Wine Glass Bay beach on the Isthmus Track and Wine Glass Bay Lookout walk. During the walk we enjoyed photos and a picnic morning tea, before arriving at the Northern end of Wineglass Bay for a refreshing swim." - Expedition Leader David Keech 7/2/23

"Today marks the last day of trekking with the sensational Cape Hauy. Whilst it was challenging at times the view was well worth it! To reward ourselves for making it back to the base we enjoyed a swim at Fortescue Bay. Tomorrow we visit Port Arthur to round out the trip before returning to bid our farewells and disembark in Hobart."
