Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time to visit Tasmania?

Tasmania promises stunning weather and unforgettable experiences no matter when you choose to visit. Summer brings warmer weather and longer days that are perfect for outdoor adventures. Meanwhile, winter brings enchanting snowfall and a higher chance of seeing the Southern Lights, Aurora Australis, a magical natural phenomenon that dances across the night sky.      

Is Tasmania a good road trip destination?

Absolutely! Renting a car or hiring a campervan is one of the best ways to explore Tasmania at your own pace. The roads are well-maintained, the scenery is breathtaking, and there’s plenty to see and do along the way.
 

How much time do I need to explore Tasmania?

We recommend at least a week to fully appreciate all that Tasmania has to offer, but even a few days will give you a taste of its beauty and charm.
 

Can I swim in the ocean around Tasmania?

Yes, but be aware the ocean gets pretty cold down here; it’s not exactly tropical Queensland! If you do choose to take on these brisk waters, be sure to always swim in designated areas where lifeguards are present. If you’d prefer to swim somewhere other than Tasmania’s chilly ocean, you’ll also find many beautiful inland lakes and rivers that are perfect for a relaxing dip.
