Discover Tasmania – A Journey Through Nature, Wildlife & Coastal Beauty

Travel through the ever-changing landscapes of North West Tasmania, where rolling green hills meet rugged coastline and every turn reveals something new. This thoughtfully designed shore experience showcases the very best of the region—combining wildlife, scenery, and iconic local highlights into one memorable journey.

Journey inland through peaceful countryside, where patchwork farmland, open pastures, and distant mountain ranges create a sense of calm and space. Along the way, your expert live guide shares stories of the region, its wildlife, and the history that has shaped this remarkable part of Tasmania.

Nestled within this landscape is Wings Wildlife Park, one of Tasmania’s most loved wildlife experiences. Here, you’ll have around two hours to explore at your own pace. Hand-feed kangaroos, come face to face with Tasmanian devils, and see wombats, koalas, and a wide range of native animals. With entry included, you’re free to wander, relax at the café, or take part in optional animal encounters for a more immersive experience.

From here, the journey returns along Tasmania’s spectacular north-west coast. Enjoy sweeping ocean views across Bass Strait, rugged headlands, and pristine beaches, with your guide highlighting key landmarks and local insights along the way. A stop in the charming seaside town of Penguin offers time to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and capture a photo with the iconic Big Penguin statue.

Continue on to the beautiful Emu Valley Rhododendron Gardens, an award-winning landscape of vibrant colour, winding paths, and tranquil lakes. This peaceful setting is home to an extraordinary collection of plants, and with a little luck, you may even spot a platypus in the ponds.

Take in the sweeping views from Upper Burnie Lookout, where the harbour, coastline, and your cruise ship below come into full view—an ideal way to appreciate the scale and beauty of the region.

With a friendly local guide, comfortable transport, and a carefully planned itinerary, this is a seamless and enriching way to experience the highlights of Burnie and Tasmania’s north-west coast. Book now to make the most of your time ashore.
