Tasmania is Australia's Alaska. A frontier state separated from the mainland, with incredible alpine and coastal scenery, a dependence on primary industry, and plenty of larger than life characters to spice it up! Lately, many artists have taken up residence and have added a further dimension to this wonderfully rich destination.

City stays in Sydney and Melbourne, with all of their uban delights, round out this package.

The package includes international air from the US, 12 nights accommodation in Australia, and domestic flights within Australia.

It is possible to add New Zealand to this itinerary, please enquire.

Itinerary Outline:

Start with 4 nights in Sydney, the jewel in the crown of the South Pacific. Your accommodation is included, and airport transfers and day touring can be added.

Next, you'll fly to Melbourne for 4 nights. Melbourne is a sophisticated city where the good life is celebrated at fine restaurants and cafes, in designer boutiques, and at theaters and music halls.

Finally, you'll fly to Hobart, Tasmania. If you choose the rental car option, you will spend 2 nights in Hobart and 2 in Launceston, driving in between. Or, you may choose to stay in Hobart and explore from there. Either way, the icons of this small island state are easily accessible.
