Tasmania sits at the bottom of Australia, separated from the mainland by Bass Strait, and that separation has produced one of the world’s most concentrated collections of wild landscapes, unique wildlife, and extraordinary food and drink. Our guides cover every major experience the island offers — from a day walk to Wineglass Bay to a six-day Overland Track expedition, from an oyster tasting at Bruny Island to a single-malt whisky trail across thirty distilleries. Whether you have seven days or a weekend, this is where to start.
