Tasmania Highlights

Stunning aerial view of vibrant orange-streaked rocky shoreline, pristine sandy beach, crystal-clear waters, and lush green countryside.
Bay of Fires
The Bay of Fires in Tasmania is pure magic for anyone chasing striking landscapes. Famous for its brilliant orange lichen-covered boulders, pristine white sand beaches, and crystal-clear turquoise waters, it’s a visual feast at every turn. Wander along secluded coves, spot playful wildlife, or simply soak in sunsets that set the coast ablaze. Rugged, untouched, and endlessly photogenic, the Bay of Fires is a place to disconnect, explore, and let nature steal the show. Every step feels like discovering a secret, making it one of Tasmania’s most unforgettable coastal escapes.

Wombats
Wombats are some of Tasmania’s most-loved locals, chunky little tank-shaped legends that roam the island’s open grasslands and national parks. With their slow waddle, curious nature and habit of popping out at dusk, spotting a wombat in the wild is one of those simple Tassie joys. Places like Cradle Mountain often give you a good chance to see them grazing, but whether you meet one on a trail or at a wildlife sanctuary, they’re guaranteed to steal the show. Don't miss out on the opportunity to see these cute Tasmania natives.

Tasmanian Devils
Tasmanian devils are the feisty icons of Australia’s southern island, known for their stocky build, sharp attitude and a growl that definitely lives up to the name. They’re nocturnal, surprisingly shy in the wild and play a huge role in Tasmania’s ecosystem as natural clean-up crews. Spotting them at a sanctuary or conservation park is the easiest way to see their unique behaviour up close and learn how locals are helping protect the species. It’s a classic Tassie wildlife moment worth ticking off your trip.

Cradle mountain
Cradle Mountain is one of Tasmania’s most recognisable landmarks, sitting within the Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Area known for its striking alpine scenery. The area is the starting point of the Overland Track, but it also offers plenty of shorter walks such as the Dove Lake Circuit. Native wildlife is everywhere, from wombats grazing beside the paths to the elusive Tasmanian devil. It’s a place where geology, ecology and dramatic terrain come together in a truly unique environment.
