About this tour
This 8-hour adventure flies you into Southwest National Park, Tasmania's largest protected wilderness and World Heritage Area. You'll experience the landscape from both air and water: two scenic flights bookend a boat cruise through Bathurst Harbour, a sprawling waterway that dwarfs Sydney Harbour. A guided walk and lunch featuring local Tasmanian produce and wine round out the day. A rare chance to see remote southwestern Tasmania without a multi-day expedition.
Highlights
- Two scenic flights over Hobart and remote southwest Tasmania
- Boat cruise through Bathurst Harbour's vast remote waters
- Guided walk in Southwest National Park wilderness
- Lunch with Tasmanian produce and local wine included
- Live commentary from your guide throughout

What to expect
You'll start with a flight over Hobart and the southern landscape, taking in views most travellers never see. Once at the park, you'll cruise Bathurst Harbour by boat—the scale and isolation are striking. Your guide will lead you on a walk through the wilderness, pointing out what makes this corner of Tasmania distinctive. Lunch arrives with local ingredients and wine, eaten with the landscape as your backdrop. The return flight gives you another aerial perspective before you're back in civilisation by late afternoon. Bring seasickness tablets if you're prone; the harbour crossing can be choppy.
