Island of Tasmania Tours

Island of Tasmania Tours, based in Hobart, Tasmania, offers immersive small-group touring experiences designed for travellers seeking iconic landscapes, wilderness encounters and a deeper understanding of Tasmania’s nature and history within limited timeframes. The business specialises in 2-hour, half-day and full-day journeys that balance comfort, insight and exploration, ideal for well-travelled visitors, campervan explorers, cruise ship passengers and nature lovers alike.

What sets Island of Tasmania Tours apart is its focus on thoughtful storytelling, local knowledge and carefully paced itineraries. Tours are designed to reveal Tasmania’s wild beauty without rushing, combining scenic driving with gentle walks and time to absorb the surroundings. Experienced local guide David brings geology, history and culture to life, offering context that enriches each stop. Small group sizes allow travellers to experience natural places, whether arriving in Hobart by cruise ship, aircraft or road.

Journeys often pass through Tasmania’s most celebrated landmarks such as Mount Wellington, and stunning, less visited places including the South West National Park, Lake Pedder and the Gordon Dam. Proximity to Hobart enables efficient access to natural wonders, making these tours well suited to short visits. Many routes highlight protected areas and world-heritage wilderness. With roots in local guiding and a passion for Tasmania’s untamed character, Island of Tasmania Tours invites travellers to go deeper into the island’s landscapes and return with a richer sense of place.
