The beauty of our style of travel is that it caters to travellers who are travelling solo and who want to meet and share experiences with like-minded people.

Rooming is organised on a twin-share basis. We pair up solo travellers with another traveller of the same gender.

We also have an optional single supplement available on most trips for travellers who prefer to have their own room. This will apply to all nights on the tour.

A 6-day tour of the ruggedly beautiful Tasmania. Drive, walk and eat your way through gorgeous scenery, Indigenous culture and local delights.

Explore Takayna / Tarkine – the greatest expanse of cool temperate rainforest in the country (& the second largest expanse in the world). Journey into Cradle Mountain National Park – home to numerous hiking, walking + wildlife-spotting opportunities. Excellent stargazing opportunities as you stay in remote, rural Tasmanian locations. Little to no phone signal (the perfect time for a digital detox). Indulge in delicacies like locally made ice cream & cider along the Cradle to Coast Tasting Trail. Hike the Dove Lake Circuit in Cradle Mountain National Park. Learn about the rich Indigenous heritage, culture + spiritual connections.

All countries require a valid passport (with a minimum 6 months validity).

Contact your local embassy or consulate for the most up-to-date visa requirements, or see your travel agent.

It is your own responsibility to have the correct travel documentation. Visa requirements for your trip will vary depending on where you are from and where you are going.

Yes, travel insurance is compulsory on this trip.

Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.

You can have a plate of food for a street vendor for AU$10 - $20, however there are always more expensive options. From a mid-range, sit-down restaurant, expect to pay AU$20-$50 - not including alcohol. 

- Lightweight clothing. You will need to bring a mixture of lightweight clothing and layers. Long shirts and pants are useful to protect against the harsh Australian sun. Clothes should be easy to wash and dry. Maybe bring a change of smart clothes for dinner in larger cities. Australia is pretty casual, shorts or a skirt and a top, with sandals, is our usual warm weather wardrobe.

- Comfortable, closed-in shoes. These will help to protect your feet from cuts and scratches when walking through bush/grasslands and will act as a protective barrier in the rare case of a bite or sting. A pair of sandals or thongs/flip flops are great for the beach.
- Sun protection. Wide-brimmed hat, sunscreen, sunglasses.
 

Due to limited vehicle space and strictly enforced road laws regarding transport of baggage, your main piece of luggage must be soft-sided, compact and weigh no more than 15kg/33lb. The Operator is unable to carry large suitcases or bags, particularly hard/externally framed suitcases as they are difficult to store and can damage equipment and other travellers' belongings.

All Accommodation: Hotel (4 nights), Cottage (1 night).

On some occasions, alternative arrangements may need to be made due to the lack of availability of rooms in our preferred accommodation. In these cases, we will use a similar standard of accommodation.

Throughout the trip, we request that our properties prepare rooms in time for our arrival, especially if we're arriving prior to normal check-in time. However, this isn't always possible which means we won't be able to check-in immediately on arrival at some hotels. Instead, we can store our luggage and explore our new destination or on some trips, have use of shared day rooms until all rooms are

The Operator will try their very hardest to accommodate all dietary requirements, but in some out-of-the-way places, it can be very difficult to guarantee. They will let you know if there are places on your itinerary where this is the case. Please let them know at the time of booking of any food requirements or allergies, and they'll pass the information onto your leader. It is also a great idea to bring a card with your dietary requirements written in the local language for those times you are eating away from the group.
