Day 1
- Mt Field National Park & Russell Falls
- Lake St Clair
- Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area
The majestic rainforests of Mount Field National Park and beautiful Russell Falls kick off our Wild West experience. If you’ve come to see wildlife, your guide will point out animals that are only found in Tasmania, such as the very cute Pademelon.
Continuing north we visit the hydro-electric town of Tarraleah, with it’s wonderful lookout perched atop Tasmania’s Central Plateau. Shortly afterwards we reach the famous Lake St Clair, on the eastern edge of Tasmania’s World Heritage Wilderness Area. It’s the deepest lake in Australia, so soak in the scenery and enjoy the peacefulness of lunch by the lake side (you might even see a platypus :-)
From here we begin a drive through the stunning Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. The incredible views from Donaghy’s Hill stretch in all directions. Walking to the top, you’ll see the quartzite peak of Frenchmans Cap, and the iconic Franklin River winds its way through the valley below.

Day 2
- Montezuma Falls (Tasmania's tallest waterfall)
- Strahan
- Henty Dunes (sand dune jumping!)
An action packed day today in the heart of Tassie’s wild West Coast. First up we hit the walking track to Montezuma Falls - Tasmania’s highest waterfall. The track winds its way through lush rainforest, following the route of an old railway.
The beautiful fishing town of Strahan is our lunch stop today - take the opportunity to immerse yourself in the history of what was once one of the most remote outposts of the British Empire.
Just north of here are the massive Henty Dunes - climb to the top for a wonderful view across the Southern Ocean and a great Jumping experience! Below lies Ocean Beach, Tasmania’s longest. The waves crashing on this beach last touched land on the other side of the world.
