Tasmania Day Tours from Hobart
Top day trip destinations accessible from Hobart include Port Arthur Historic Site (1.5 hours south), Bruny Island, the Huon Valley, and Kunanyi/Mount Wellington overlooking the city. See all Hobart day tours.
Day Tours from Launceston
Top day trips from Launceston include Cradle Mountain (about 2.5 hours, a long but popular day out), Freycinet Peninsula, Bay of Fires, and the Tamar Valley wine region. See all Launceston day tours.
Multi-Day Tasmania Tours
Multi-day itineraries unlock the east coast, Freycinet, Walls of Jerusalem, and the remote southwest. The typical range is 3 to 7 days. Wilderness multi-day tours often run in small groups due to the nature of the terrain. Good for those who want to cover more ground without the constraints of returning to a city each evening.

Best Time to Visit Tasmania
Summer (December to February): warmest weather and longest daylight hours. Busy. Book ahead. Best for hiking and coastal day tours.
Autumn (March to May): mild weather, wine harvest season in the Tamar and Coal River valleys, fewer crowds.
Winter (June to August): cold and short days. Some alpine roads close. Worth visiting for MONA’s Dark Mofo festival in June, and Cradle Mountain at its most dramatic.
Spring (September to November): wildflowers, building towards summer crowds, reasonable weather across most of the state.
