Make sure you get to Bay of Fires in time to see the (epic) sunset!.Here you’ll be able to witness white sand butting up against stunning rock formations covered in a red moss that makes the scene look simply otherworldly. Next, continue north for a couple hours to Bay of Fires. Missed out on a campsite? Stay in Coles Bay or in the several private campgrounds outside the park.ĭay 3: Bay of Fires The stunning Bay of Fires should be on every Tasmania Itineraryįrom Freycinet, head north and make a quick stop to check out Diamond Island north of Bicheno (be prepared to wade through water, as the tide often covers the sandbar giving access to the island!).Have an RV? Make sure you arrange ahead of time to snag a campsite within the park itself ( info here).Better, yet, spend a day doing a hiking loop through Freycinet National Park. Don’t just stop at the viewpoint like many tourists! The quick hike down to the beach itself is worth it.Spend at least on day here exploring the park, and taking in the famous vistas of Wineglass Bay. Rental Cars: Discover Car Hire (comparison site)ĭay 2: Freycinet National Park Yes, the view from Wineglass Bay Lookout really does look like this!įrom Hobart, it’s about a 2.5 hour drive to Coles Bay, the launching point for exploring Freycinet National Park: a must-see spot for any Tasmania road trip.Campervans & RVs: Motorhome Republic (comparison site) or Outdoorsy (Airbnb style peer-to-peer rentals).

Check out the pretty neighborhood Battery Point, take a stroll to browse fresh produce or grab some ice cream at the Salamanca Market, and be sure to spend an afternoon exploring the thought-provoking exhibits at the MONA (Museum of Old and New Art). But, as excited as you may be to get out into the wild, I would suggest to make sure to build in some time to take in this incredible city as well. Since Hobart is both the main airport for the island and the base for most campervan and car rentals, many people will start and end their Tasmania road trips here. Have more or less time than 10 days? Extend this itinerary to 14 days by slowing down (there’s a lot to take in!), or skip a few stops to stay time. In my opinion, 10 days is a solid amount of time to set aside for your Tasmania itinerary. You can support us by purchasing via the affiliate links on this page, which may earn us commissions.
