Discover Tasmania
Tasmania may be Australia’s smallest state, but there’s still plenty of ground to cover. More than 68,000 square kilometres to be exact, so if you want to get a real taste of what the island state is all about, a multi-day trip is a must. AAT Kings ‘Guided Holidays’ bring Tasmania to life with a smorgasbord of activities, experiences and unforgettable memories. From wild rugged coastlines and lush rainforests to the mighty Cradle Mountain and the port capital of Hobart, Tassie will leave you wanting more…

A taste of perfection
With its rich soil, clean air and pure water, Tasmania produces some of Australia’s finest fresh produce. Famous for a kaleidoscope of produce, on the AAT Kings Perfect Tasmania tour you’ll enjoy exclusive access to some of Tassie’s best – think boutique wineries, artisan cheese factories, salmon farms and more. You’ll also get the chance to cruise across iconic Wineglass Bay, sail around the windswept Tasman Peninsula and get lost in the lush rainforests of Mt. Field National Park.

A Tasmanian toast
Tasmania’s crystal clear spring water makes for some seriously delicious artisan cider, whisky and gin. And don’t worry, you’ll get to clink your glass to it all. AAT Kings give you the opportunity to inhale the savoury aromas of Tamar Valley pinot noir, sip on sparkling wines and get behind the scenes access to a string of boutique breweries, distilleries and cellar doors.

Untamed Tasmania
Sitting off Australia’s south coast, Tasmania has always harboured an untamed reputation. Cities like Hobart and Launceston are enchanting, but ask any local and they’ll testify that getting out of the city is half the fun…

Armed with local guides and decades of experience, AAT Kings unlocks access to Tasmania’s wildest corners. As well as seeing Hobart highlights, the 10 day Tasmanian Wonders introduces you to the monumental Cradle Mountain National Park and stepping back in time at historic Port Arthur.

Or if you’re wanting something a bit shorter, then the Tassie Wilderness Icons 6 day tour is just for you while still leaving you inspired and refreshed.
