5-Day Island Icons Tassie Day Tour Bundle — Cradle Mountain, Wineglass Bay & Bruny Island
A five-day sweep through Tasmania’s must-see landscapes and history: Cradle Mountain’s alpine walks, the postcard arc of Wineglass Bay, Bruny Island oysters and the convict ruins of Port Arthur—all linked with included transfers and guided interpretation. Ideal for travelers who want maximum variety without planning the details.
The Experience
Before You Go
Layer for sudden weather
Tasmania’s microclimates flip fast—carry a breathable waterproof and a warm midlayer even on sunny mornings.
Comfortable footwear
Expect boardwalks, gravel trails and rocky scrambles; supportive hiking shoes with good traction will make optional ascents like Mt Amos safer.
Hydrate and snack
Daily outings include 1–4 hours of walking—bring at least 1–2 liters of water and energy snacks for remote stops.
Book Salamanca day smartly
If you want Salamanca Market, schedule the Hobart Highlights day for a Saturday; the market is busiest mid-morning.
