The striking beauty of larapuna/ the Bay of Fires Tasmania is without question. However, to visit the region without understanding the palawa connection to larapuna is a lost opportunity to have a deeper understanding and appreciation of this region of our island.

23/05/2024

Let’s take a walk.

19/05/2024

The lovely Nelson Falls in the Franklin- Gordon Wild Rivers National Park. We never drive past without stopping.

The Mount Amos Track. Good fitness, mobility, agility and dry + low wind conditions make this hike achievable! The Hazards mountains are granite and very beautiful. Freycinet National Park offers many options to experience its coves, forests and vistas. ………………….

Autumn is a wonderful time to visit Tasmania! From around April 25 for a few weeks you'll see the mountains in Cradle Mountain National Park come alive as Tasmania's only winter deciduous tree, Northofagus gunnii, lights up the alpine landscape. All our tours visit this wonderful National Park. Maybe time your visit for April 2025?!

I have just got back from the best 5 days in Tasmania, a state that often gets left out when travelling through Australia by Europeans. I am extremely happy that I finally got to do this amazing tour, and definitely would add it to my Australia recommendations for solo travellers (or with a friend)!...

We love a good review!

"The 5-day Tasmania adventure was everything I hoped it would be and more. Our guide Tim was awesome. We could not have asked for a better guide to lead us on our adventures through Tasmania. We saw so many beautiful waterfalls, mountains, beaches and coastlines, and saw lots of unique Aussie wildlife, and felt like we connected to the real essence of Tasmania!"

We look for wombats as we stroll along the Ronny Creek track in Cradle Valley. The scenery of alpine moorlands and pandanis are wild and ancient. Welcome to the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area:) #

Check out this scenery from the track to Crescent Bay from Remarkable Cave on the Tasman Peninsula. Such a great walk, it’s one of our favourites! We explore this part of the peninsula on our 7 day tour of the island. If you have a moderate fitness level you will find this walk achievable and thoroughly enjoyable, with beautiful coastal scenery all the way to Crescent Bay. #tasmania #tasmanpeninsula #underdownundertours #smallgrouptours #ecotourismaustralia #wildplaces #wildfun #getoutside #travel

The Tasman Peninsula. Its coastline is simply stunning. We walk from Remarkable Cave (tucked away in this video) to Crescent Bay on our 7 day tour. It’s a day where you really feel the wind on your face, hear the waves crash and taste the salty air. Just how we like it! #tasmania #hobartandbeyond #smallgrouptours #ecotourismaustralia #wildplaces #tasmanpeninsula #underdownundertours

Wow! A white echidna, spotted nearby Cradle Mountain National Park. Our guide Tim said that he saw it out of the corner of his eye and luckily there was space to safely pull up off the road so our guests could enjoy this lucky find! It doesn't get much better than this to be able to see our special Tasmanian wildlife while exploring our state! It just goes to show, let's drive slowly and mindfully on our roads as you never know what wildlife we might find! #echidna #tasmanianwildlife #tasmaniaparks #tasmania #underdownundertours #hobartandbeyond #seeaustralia #nature #travel #animalsofaustralia #ig_tasmania #smallgrouptours #ecotourismaustralia
