Tasmania has its own unique beauty that is quite different from mainland Australia. It is much greener than most of its neighbouring continent due to the abundant winter rainfall, but still an island paradise most of the year, surrounded by white sand beaches and crystal clear seas. Inland there is a plethora of gorgeous terrain and fascinating wildlife to be found, the island is a nature lover’s dream just waiting for the adventurous traveller to come explore it!
The best way to experience more of Tasmania than what you would glimpse from a tour bus window is to make your journey a campervan road trip, allowing you to pullover anywhere it suits you to enjoy breathtaking views and experience all that Tasmania has to offer up close and on a schedule of your choosing. It’s easy to arrange for van hire at Hobart airport, then take off for parts unknown on your own as you see fit!
Beautiful Tasmania is one of the best Australian destinations for avoiding the crowds, the island is off the beaten track and a campervan road trip gives you the ability to visit interesting destinations with the freedom to park and stop for as long as you like when you discover a delightful location. Because it’s never too crowded, Tasmania can offer you loads of free camping spots all around the island, including some of the most well-appointed campsite facilities anywhere, so your campervan travel can be as luxurious and relaxing as it is exciting!
If you are not in a big hurry to get out into the wilderness, you should spend a day or two enjoying some of Hobart’s unique history and culture. Hobart was founded back in 1803 and it still retains many of its charming original buildings and fascinating historical places, firmly placing it among Australia’s most picturesque capitals. Be sure to visit the Tasmanian Museum, Art Gallery, and Royal Botanical Gardens!
Once you have marked Hobart off of your must see list it’s time to head out on the highway for the rest of your Tasmanian adventure! Although Tasmania is the nation’s smallest state there is a whole lot to do there! Be sure to visit spectacular Freycinet National Park, Wineglass Bay, which is listed as one of the world’s top ten beaches, and The Tasman Peninsula with a wealth of sightseeing attractions like Tasman Arch, Blowhole, Remarkable Cave, and the Devils Kitchen!
There’s far too much to see and do when travelling by campervan in Tasmania to fit on this page, it’s best to come experience it for yourself!
