Tasmania's dolerite sea cliffs at Cape Pillar rise close to 300 metres straight out of the Southern Ocean, the tallest in the Southern Hemisphere. The island sits roughly 240 kilometres south of the Australian mainland, severed by Bass Strait when sea levels rose some 12,000 years ago. That severance decided much of what followed: endemic species, a small population gathered on two rivers, and the plain fact that nearly every visitor arrives by air. Tasmania holiday packages including flights grew out of that geography rather than any marketing idea. About a fifth of the state lies inside the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, inscribed in 1982 and covering roughly 1.58 million hectares of cool temperate rainforest, buttongrass moorland and glacial tarns. Freycinet National Park was gazetted in 1916, among the first two national parks declared in Australia; its pink granite peaks, the Hazards, enclose the white arc of Wineglass Bay. The sand there is quartz-white because the granite behind it weathers clean. Further south, the Port Arthur Historic Site occupies the Tasman Peninsula as one of eleven Australian Convict Sites added to the UNESCO list in 2010. The Tasman Island lighthouse, first lit in 1906, still marks the peninsula's outer edge, and Tasman Island wilderness cruises pass beneath it. Scale explains the shape of the touring here. Hobart to Launceston runs a little over 200 kilometres of highway; the route west to Cradle Mountain and Strahan is slower, threading the Central Highlands past hydro lakes and dolerite plateaux. Distances read as modest and drive as long. Tasmania holiday packages including flights tickets therefore tend to be sold across several days, and a guided Tasmania multi-day tour from Hobart usually gathers the east coast, the Tasman Peninsula and the west into one moving line. Entry to the state itself costs 0 AUD; individual attractions charge separately. Wildlife is the quieter argument for the journey: Tasmania holds the last wild population of Tasmanian devils, alongside eastern quolls, pademelons and twelve bird species found nowhere else on Earth. Hobart's airport lies twenty minutes from the waterfront and takes direct services from Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, which is why Tasmania holiday packages including flights tours read less as convenience than as the practical answer to 68,401 square kilometres of island.
"Bass Strait did not only separate Tasmania from the mainland — it preserved what the mainland lost."
A step-by-step walkthrough of the visit — what you'll see, how long each stage takes, and the details that matter.
You leave Hobart at eight, the Derwent still flat, and the coach turns east through Richmond, where you cross the 1823 sandstone bridge and walk the gaol yard before the light hardens. By mid-morning the road narrows onto the Tasman Peninsula. You stop at Eaglehawk Neck, stand on the tessellated pavement while the tide fills the joints, then reach Port Arthur and take the loop past the penitentiary, the church and the view out to the Isle of the Dead. If your Tasmania holiday packages including flights tour includes the wilderness cruise, you trade the lawns for a yellow open boat, zip the supplied jacket to your chin, and run beneath Cape Pillar's columns with albatross tracking the wake. Other days point north-east instead. You climb the granite staircase to the Wineglass Bay lookout, pause at the saddle where the bay opens below the Hazards, and drop to Coles Bay before the coach turns inland toward Richmond again. The five-day itineraries push west after that — Cradle Mountain's boardwalks, Strahan's harbour, the Gordon River running black with buttongrass tannin. You come back to the waterfront near dusk each evening, boots wet, camera full, having covered more of the island in a week than most residents manage in a year.
