Discover the extraordinary sights, sounds and tastes of Tasmania on this leisurely self-drive journey from Hobart to Freycinet National Park.

Journey Highlights
Arrive into the Apple Isle and collect your rental car* at Hobart Airport. Drive to your waterfront hotel with the rest of the day to relax or explore the surrounds.
MACq01

A fast ferry can take you to visit MONA, the breathtaking and utterly brilliant Museum of Old and New Art, or you may choose to head to the 1,271 metre summit of Mt.

Leave the city behind and drive up the East Coast to the majestic mountains, azure bays and white beaches of Freycinet National Park. Settle into luxury boutique lodge, Saffire Freycinet, and soak up the landscape and views of the Hazards mountain range across Great Oyster Bay. Tonight, dine at Palate, possibly Tasmania’s most exclusive restaurant.
Saffire Freycinet | BLD
Relax, indulge and enjoy the beautiful coastal reserve with your choice of activities. Take a guided walk to stunning Wineglass Bay with a gourmet picnic thrown in. Or perhaps a fishing expedition, kayaking or mountain biking. Savour the local drop at private tastings at Freycinet Vineyard or tour a local oyster farm before tasting the salty bounty. Take time out for a complimentary spa treatment or visit Saffire’s open-range Tasmanian Devil enclosure and assist with saving this endangered species from extinction. And for more adventure head out on a gourmet quad bike expedition or join the Captain aboard Saffire, a purpose-built vessel, for close-up interactions with soaring sea birds, playful marine mammals and a diversity of life on Tasmania's temperate reefs. With so much on offer you’ll be dazzled and delighted.
