Situated in the far south of the gorgeous Huon Valley, a scenic 90-minute drive from Hobart is Hastings Cave and Thermal Pools. This mysterious underground world will open your eyes with its natural wonders (stalactites and stalagmites) and fascinating history.

If you are not into hiking, joining an ATV/Quad Bike tour with All 4 Adventures in Coles Bay is the best alternative to exploring the uniquely beautiful Freycinet National Park. It definitely adds a huge sense of adventure and an adrenaline rush to your memorable day!

We get a lot of visitors here in Hobart who ask if they can visit Launceston in a day from Hobart. While it is definitely doable in a day from Hobart there are so many things to see and do in and around Launceston that it deserves a few days.

Getting the timing right on waterfalls sometimes just comes down to that serendipitous sunny day that peeks out after a week of grey and grumbling downpours. This summer has been wetter than most but has made for some spectacular views of the many waterfalls Tasmania has to offer visitors.

Despite the unparalleled beauty of the Three Capes Track, with the highest dolerite cliffs in the Southern Hemisphere, their dramatic yet breathtaking views over a great variety of landscapes and striking sections of coastlines, my personal favourite day walk on the Tasman Peninsula is the track to Crescent Bay Beach.

Spring is here in Tasmania and you can see native flowers like wattles blooming everywhere. I figured it was the perfect time to take my partner and dog Charlie on a break from the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy the pristine coastline in the North West of the state.
