Day 1 - Devonport or Launceston to Bicheno
We travel north east of Launceston to the beautiful Bridestowe Lavender Farms; where everything conceivable is made with lavender! We then continue our journey through the changing landscape of heritage farms, forests and mining towns until we arrive at the spectacular St Columba’s Falls (pumping an average 42,000 litres of water per minute!). We finish our day at the breathtaking Bay of Fires, with a stroll along the pristine white sands or a swim in the sparkling turquoise water (weather permitting). We stay overnight in the seaside township of Bicheno. After dinner, take an optional tour to see little penguins nesting (at own expense). (LD)

This morning we climb up Mount Amos in Freycinet National Park for fantastic views over Wineglass Bay. You may choose to hike to Wineglass Beach via the lookout. We travel south to Port Arthur enjoying a rain forest walk on the way. Tonight enjoy the Port Arthur Ghost Tour (at own expense). Overnight Port Arthur (BLD)

Day 3 - Port Arthur to Hobart
The morning is spent exploring the Port Arthur Historic Site, which served as a penal colony from 1830 to 1877. Enjoy an introductory guided tour of the site as well as a boat cruise around the harbour, viewing the 'Isle of the Dead' where more than 1100 convicts and soldiers are buried.
