Trip Overview
Venture Down Under—Where Wild Beauty Meets Vibrant Culture
From cosmopolitan harbors to the edge of the Earth, this journey through Australia and Tasmania blends the best of city life with the awe of the untamed.

Wombats, wallabies, kangaroos, Cape Barren geese, and other wildlife roam freely across the island.
We’ll choose from several hiking options and explore striking geological formations such as the Painted Cliffs and Fossil Cliffs. We’ll also have an opportunity to visit Darlington, the island’s remarkably preserved convict settlement.

DAY 11
This morning, we embark on an award-winning wilderness cruise along the spectacular Tasman Peninsula.
As we travel through the wild waters of the Tasman Sea, we’ll gaze up at the towering cliffs of Cape Pillar—the highest vertical sea cliffs in the Southern Hemisphere.

The surrounding waters and cliffs support an impressive variety of marine and birdlife. We’ll watch for fur seals, dolphins, migrating whales, diving gannets, albatross, sea eagles, cormorants, and peregrine falcons. Seeing the cliffs from sea level offers an entirely new appreciation for their extraordinary scale.
This afternoon, we visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Port Arthur Historic Site. Spread across 100 acres and containing more than 30 historic buildings and ruins, Port Arthur is Australia’s most intact and evocative former convict settlement. A guided tour introduces us to its layered and often difficult history, followed by time to explore the grounds.

DAY 12
Today, we journey to nipaluna / Hobart, Tasmania’s lively and historic capital. Upon arrival, we visit Salamanca Market, one of Hobart’s most beloved traditions. More than 300 vendors line the streets beside the city’s historic sandstone warehouses, offering locally crafted homewares, artwork, jewelry, clothing, artisan cheeses, breads, seasonal produce, and other Tasmanian specialties. With the waterfront just steps away, the market is a wonderful place to experience the creativity and flavors of the island.
After time to explore the market and settle into our hotel, we head to Hobart’s most recognizable natural landmark: kunanyi / Mt Wellington. Rising 4,170 feet above the city, the mountain transitions from dense eucalyptus forest to exposed alpine terrain.
