Welcome to Tasmania
There's no wonder Tasmania has been a firm favourite of APT guests for so long. From the
charm of Hobart and Launceston to the staggering vistas of Cradle Mountain and the
compelling stories of Port Arthur Historic Site, you couldn't leave without paying a visit to some
of the island's true stalwarts. Going off the beaten track, hidden gems such as Sarah Island
and the Tarkine provide a unique glimpse into a wilder side of Tasmania.
Told in a windswept history of flawless national parks, maritime endeavour and convict
struggles, Australia's island state is romanticised at its very essence. With the wild Bass Strait
as an endless salty backdrop, visitors are spoiled with some of Australia's finest produce from field to fork. The bounty of
seafood, cheeses and wines simply don't need introduction.
Perhaps above all, this is a place for you to rediscover a childlike sense of awe. Feel humbled in rolling acres of greenery, skirt
the rugged coast of the Freycinet Peninsula and marvel at the largely untouched wilderness as you cruise the Gordon River.
It's all there for every adventure.
There is no operator better equipped to take you to the Apple Isle than APT, the pioneers of luxury escorted holidays
across Australia. Throughout your journey, a range of included dining and sightseeing options, a host of memorable stays
and a number of carefully chosen Signature Experiences await.
So I encourage you to explore Tasmania's endless possibilities with APT and experience an unforgettable island adventure.
Warm regards,
