Tasmania : How do I travel?
How to go alone
Going it alone in Tasmania is an accessible adventure, thanks to the friendliness of the locals and the ease of navigation. Hire a vehicle to criss-cross the picturesque roads at your own pace. Accommodation varies, from campsites to cosy B&Bs. Always bring a waterproof layer for the vagaries of the weather, and for hiking, bring good maps available from tourist information centers. Don't miss the local markets to sample local produce, and strike up a conversation with Tasmanians, always ready to share the secrets of their island. It's easy to travel alone in Australia and Tasmania. Several hundred thousand young people visit Australia alone every year, thanks to the Working Holiday visa that gives them access to Tasmania. The infrastructure is modern. However, if you're going on an adventure in remote areas or hiking in the national parks, make sure you always give your itinerary to another person.
How to go on a tour
For a Tasmanian tour package, choose an agency that can weave together natural, historical and gastronomic experiences. These all-inclusive packages let you immerse yourself in the island's beauty without the hassle of planning. From hikes in the national parks to wine tastings, every detail is designed with your comfort in mind.Australia is a popular destination, and a visit to Tasmania is a must on any tour package. Many tour operators offer tailor-made or turnkey tours. Since the continent is so vast, each tour generally focuses on a specific region. For example, a package tour combining Melbourne, Sydney and Tasmania is a good option.
How to get around
Tasmania is served by Hobart International Airport and Bass Strait ferries . The best way to get around Tasmania is to rent a car, as the road network is very good. Be careful, you'll be driving on the left. Alternatively, you can use the Metro Tasmania bus routes and the narrow-gauge railway that links the five major population centers and the mining and forestry centers on the west coast and to the northwest. Cycling enthusiasts will appreciate the many cycle paths. If you're planning to visit nearby islands like Bruny Island, ferries are reliable and offer regular services. Don't forget to download the timetables or consult local tourist offices for personalized travel advice.
