Trip Overview
Let the everyday melt away with the ultimate Tasmanian nature experience.
Spend three adventure-packed days camping in Tasmania and exploring the remote Southwest wilderness, enjoying delicious meals prepared from local produce and tasting the best wines that the region has to offer.
The Bathurst Harbour Marine Reserve is three times the size of Sydney Harbour and is the ultimate destination for nature lovers with opportunities to see the rare and endangered orange-bellied parrots, visit Aboriginal middens and caves, and explore the remote waterways via your private boat.
Explore the magnificent Huon pine forest on the Old River and the untouched Celery Top Islands. During our stay, we can take a walk on untouched beaches, see wildlife or even climb a mountain. All trails are graded easy to moderate.
Your unforgettable experience begins by air, in a twin-engine Islander aircraft and landing at Melaleuca, the only way to get access to this remote area. During the flight, we witness the grandeur of this lost world and see icons of Tasmania’s world-renowned wilderness such as Federation Peak, The Western Arthur Range, Precipitous Bluff and the rugged south coast.Let the everyday melt away with the ultimate Tasmanian nature experience.
