Description

Five days out west Is the ideal tour to experience Tasmania’s wild and remote west coast. We aim to stay away from the crowds, from camping in the bush to sleeping beside the ocean under the stars. Spend the first day exploring the caves and glow-worms of Marakoopa. Enjoy bushwalks through Cradle Mountain, the Tarkine and Lake St Clair. Cross the west coast’s Pieman River at Corinna, a remote settlement and camp beside the Southern Ocean. Marvel at Tasmania’s tallest waterfall, Montezuma Falls and drive through Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park. Visit some of Australia’s tallest trees in the Styx Valley.
Each day we participate in bush walks from 1- 5 hours and travel by four-wheel-drive troop carriers and Landrovers which are ideal to access remote areas. Each night we experience bush camping and delicious meals with campfire cooking. When we camp we use tents or you can sleep under the stars and we supply cosy swags. We see and appreciate Tasmania’s unique wildlife in the wild.
