Discover wild landscapes, fresh flavours and unforgettable experiences on a Tasmania holiday.
A holiday to Tasmania delivers a refreshingly different Australian experience. Australia’s island state is famous for its unspoiled wilderness, dramatic coastlines, intriguing history and unique wildlife, including the iconic Tasmanian devil. From coastal walks and national parks to vibrant local markets and heritage towns, Tasmania blends natural beauty with culture and charm.
Tasmania is also one of Australia’s standout food destinations. Cool‑climate wines, farm‑fresh produce, artisan cheeses, sweet berries and exceptional seafood are all part of the experience. Whether you’re tasting your way through cellar doors, visiting local farms or enjoying paddock‑to‑plate dining by the water, food plays a central role in any Tasmania holiday.
Thanks to its compact size and scenic roads, Tasmania is perfect for a self‑drive holiday, especially for Kiwi travellers. In a week, you can explore rainforests, beaches, mountains and historic sites, all within easy driving distance. With more time, slow the pace and uncover hidden bays, national parks and charming regional communities.
Adventure and relaxation go hand in hand. Kayak along sheltered coastlines, hike world‑class wilderness trails, take a river cruise or join guided tours that showcase Tasmania’s rugged landscapes. In Hobart, don’t miss MONA - the Museum of Old and New Art - one of Australia’s most talked‑about cultural attractions.
Easy to reach from New Zealand and less crowded than mainland destinations, Tasmania appeals to couples, families and travellers seeking a slower, nature‑focused escape. From food and wine to wild scenery and culture, a holiday to Tasmania offers something truly special.
From wine regions and wilderness to coastal drives and cultural icons, a holiday to Tasmania is whatever you want it to be. Speak to our Tasmania travel specialists and start planning your best holiday ever.

The best times to visit Tasmania are during summer (December to February) and early autumn (March). These periods provide the warmest weather and longer days, perfect for exploring natural landscapes and historic towns.
Hobart is 2 hours behind New Zealand (or 3 hours during daylight saving). This small time difference is easy to adjust to, making for a seamless transition.
You
know how some people collect handbags or shoes, well I have a love of
collecting passport stamps! I developed a bit of a passion for adventure travel
since working in the States at a summer camp in my early 20’s. I have travelled
to over 40 countries, doing everything from eating scorpions in China,
snorkelling the Silfra fissure in Iceland, to skydiving in Namibia.
