Check in to the stunning Piermont Retreat, a stylish waterfront escape set on a private peninsula, and take time to soak in the coastal views before the adventures ahead. This evening, gather for dinner in Swansea, enjoying fresh local flavours and a relaxed introduction to Tasmania's east coast before exploring one of Australia's most spectacular national parks tomorrow.
  • Day 4 Swansea   Spend the day exploring Freycinet National Park, where pink granite peaks, white-sand beaches, and turquoise waters create some of Australia's most iconic coastal scenery. Discover the park's spectacular landscapes before enjoying an included lunch surrounded by nature. Return to your hotel in the afternoon with time to relax by the water or simply soak in the peaceful surroundings.
  • Day 5 Swansea - Hobart   Journey south toward Hobart with a stop at Maria Island National Park, a peaceful island sanctuary known for its dramatic coastal scenery, abundant wildlife, and fascinating convict history.

Continue to Hobart and settle into your hotel before the evening is yours to explore Tasmania's vibrant waterfront.
  • Day 6 Hobart   Discover Hobart’s creative edge with a visit to Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), one of Australia’s most unconventional and thought-provoking cultural experiences. Arrive by ferry along the Derwent River before exploring the museum’s immersive collection of contemporary art, ancient artefacts, and unexpected installations at your own pace. Return to Hobart with the afternoon free to continue exploring the city’s waterfront, historic streets, and thriving food scene. Enjoy the flexibility to discover the city your own way before another evening in Tasmania’s charming capital.
  • Day 7 Hobart - Manly   Fly from Tasmania to Sydney and make your way to the seaside neighbourhood of Manly, stopping along the way to enjoy lunch with views of the city’s iconic harbour landmarks.
