Things to do in Hobart
Located at the northern end of the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, Cradle Mountain is one of the most popular natural attractions in Tasmania. Belonging to the Tasmanian World Heritage Wilderness Area, the surrounding landscape of Cradle Mountain is extremely diverse, including rainforest, grassland, and ancient plants. The park is also home to an abundance of local wildlife, such as Tasmanian devils, platypus, echidna, quolls, and several bird species. With many great walks to choose from, this is an opportunity for everyone to explore firsthand, the rugged and wild beauty of Tasmania.
Home to wild rivers, ancient pine trees, and giant dunes, the west coast of Tasmania is famously wild. If you're chasing the rush of adrenaline, experience a white-water rafting expedition down the infamous Franklin River. For something more laid back, cruise down the magical Gordon River or hike past 1000-year-old Huon pines in one of the last temperate rainforests in the world. Known as one of Australia's last wilderness frontier's – be sure to include a trip to this region on your next Tassie road trip.
On the east coast of Tasmania lies Freycinet National Park. Explore the wild beauty of this peninsula as you traverse the pure white beaches, azure bays, and pink granite mountains. The towering pink mountains, known as the Hazards dominate the landscape of this National Park, and below them lie the placid blue waters of Wineglass Bay. Keen hikers flock to the coastal forests, while foodies indulge in local seafood and wines.
The Tasman Peninsula can be seen on a day trip from Hobart, but we recommend carving out a few days of your trip to really explore this picturesque spot. Only a 1.5-hour drive from Hobart, escape the city for a jam-packed weekend of unreal scenery, native wildlife, and local cuisine. Home to pristine beaches, rolling hills covered in gum trees, towering sea cliffs, national parks, and an abundance of native animals, there is something for everyone. While you are here, visit the Port Arthur Historic Site, do a wilderness cruise and get up close with the Tasmanian devils.
Nature is what Tasmania does best. With 19 national parks scattered throughout the state, from quiet beaches, bush walks, towering mountains, curious wildlife and an abundance of flora and fauna - Tasmania's national parks are a nature lover's paradise. As well as Freycinet, Cradle Mountain, and the Tasman Peninsula, there are even more incredible and notable national parks to explore on your Tasmania Road trip.
Although an all-year-round park, Ben Lomond truly shines in winter. Home to one of Tasmania's two ski fields, snow sports enthusiasts can spend their time here skiing the slopes of their majestic mountain. If you are visiting after the snow melts, be inspired by the beauty of the rocks set against incredible views. There are great walks and rock-climbing experiences to better acquaint you with this off-the-beaten-track gem.
Just over an hour out of Hobart lies Mount Field National Park. As Tasmania's first national park, and one of the most accessible in the state, Mount Field is not one to miss! With stunning views, great walks, and abundant wildlife, Mount Field is a popular spot for all kinds of nature lovers and travellers.
A wildlife sanctuary and off-shore retreat, Maria Island is a must-see spot for anyone travelling to Hobart and Tasmania. Located off the east coast of Tasmania, and only accessible by ferry, Maria Island is the perfect spot for a day trip. Spend your time here exploring the many walks through buildings and ghost towns, before discovering the peaceful shoreline and its wealth of tidal zone marine life.
