Itinerary
Welcome to beautiful Hobart. As this trip departs for the island's west coast early on the first day, consider arriving a few days early to explore the city's attractive waterfront area and impressive bar and restaurant scene. Leave the city behind and travel through ...
Marvel at the eerie sight of half submerged whale bones found lying among the Henty Dunes of Ocean Beach. Travel on to Strahan, a picturesque town overlooking the sea. One of the best ways to see this area’s beauty is from the water – perhaps cruise the Gordon River or explore the Tarkine Rainforest and the highest waterfall in Tasmania - Montezuma Falls.
Trade Tasmania's wild west coast for its rugged interior and venture inland to Cradle Mountain National Park. Choose between a number of hiking trails to explore this World Heritage Area – there are tracks catering to every level of fitness. Stop by the town of Sheffield, renowned for its attractive murals, before arriving in Launceston.
Travel through the Tasmanian Midlands back to Hobart – the final destination on this West Coast Explorer adventure.

The Intrepid Travel Experience
If you’re looking for adventure, you’ve come to the right place. For the past 25 years, we’ve been taking small groups of travelers on unforgettable trips around the world. What makes them unforgettable? Take a look for yourself and discover the Intrepid experience.
Our travelers have three styles of tour to choose from: Basix, Original and Comfort. Each has a different level of inclusions and accommodation, but all have unforgettable real life experiences as part of the package. Travellers can also choose themed trips, such as Family, Sailing or Food, to suit their interests.
Our group size has an average of just ten travellers, which allows us to get off the beaten track, use local accommodation and transport, and really get to know the culture. It also ensures we are contributing to the local economy; by choosing local suppliers we were able to keep AUD 60 million in local economies in 2012. We’re also working hard to reduce our carbon footprint and were the first in our sector to introduce carbon offset trips. This, along with our many corporate sustainability activities, has meant we’re one of the travel industry’s leaders in responsible travel.
Why Intrepid?
- Small groups - average of 10 people per trip
- Sustainability - pioneers for the industry
- Local leaders - authentic perspectives
- Local transport - get close and personal
- Local accommodation - experience real living
- Intrepid travelers - like-minded companions

Style descriptions
Our Original style trips have a great balance of included activities with your group and free time to explore independently. Where we stay ensures we keep our travellers firmly entrenched in a region’s people and culture, and provides them with unique local experiences that benefits the community too. In most locations we stay in simple tourist-class hotels (i.e. 2-3 stars), plus on many trips you'll also get to experience a night with a local family on a homestay or something a little different like a Bedouin camp in the Sahara. Original style trips come with all manner of transport modes and use a mixture of local and private transport. You might find yourself sailing in a dhow in Zanzibar, jumping on a rickshaw in Sri Lanka or sailing on a yacht through the Galapagos. No matter the mode, it's all about minimising our environmental impact and making getting around part of the adventure.
