Itinerary

Welcome to Launceston
Launceston, Tasmania’s second-largest city, nestled in the Tamar Valley, offering countless ways to experience the essence of the Apple Isle. The rich volcanic soil and cool conditions have shaped a thriving farming region. Stop in the coastal town of Penguin before visiting Mount Gnomon Farm, where Guy Robertson grows fruit and makes cider with a strong connection to the land. Over lunch, you’ll taste the region in dishes that bring paddock-to-plate dining to life. Continue to Sheffield, known for its striking murals, then travel through the Meander Valley to Launceston.

Launceston to Bicheno
A visit to Bridestowe Estate begins with its unmistakable lavender scent drifting through the air. This well-known property offers more than a pretty backdrop, with lavender ice cream, local honey and a strong sense of place. Continue to the Legerwood Carved Memorial Trees, where history is remembered through sculpted trunks created in honour of local soldiers lost in World War I. It’s a moving stop in a small community with a powerful story. In Bicheno, you may want to head out after dark to see little penguins returning to shore in one of Tasmania’s most memorable wildlife encounters.
- 3
Explore Freycinet National Park and Wineglass Bay
Discover Tasmania’s East Coast, where deep blue waters meet pristine beaches. Travel through Cape Tourville’s eucalypt forests with sweeping coastal views before exploring the Freycinet Peninsula on an Aqua Express cruise to Hazards Beach. Choose to stay on board for guided insights into local history and wildlife or step ashore for a gentle two kilometre Isthmus Track walk to the secluded Wineglass Bay’s white sands and clear waters. This afternoon, visit rustic Craigie Knowe Vineyard for a tasting of some of the region’s delicious wines.
- 4
Iron Creek Bay Estate
Connect with Tasmania’s living culture as local palawa people welcome you to Country and share stories, traditions and native bush tucker by the Derwent River. Then continue to Richmond, home to Australia’s oldest convict-built bridge and gaol. There’s time to browse the village’s boutique shops or visit Old Hobart Town at your own expense. This evening brings a Stays with Stories experience at Iron Creek Bay Estate. Set among 70 hectares of orchards and farmland, it’s a place where you can wander among fruit trees, meet the resident animals and settle in for a locally inspired dinner as the day winds down.
- 5
Explore Port Arthur
Port Arthur is one of Tasmania’s most important historic sites and one of its most confronting. Set against green hills and wide water views, this World Heritage-listed site reveals the layered story of Australia’s convict past. Explore with a guide who brings the history to life, then cruise around the Isle of the Dead. You’ll also stop at Pirate’s Bay Lookout and see natural formations including Tasman’s Arch, Devil’s Kitchen and the Blowhole. Back in Hobart, the evening is free for you to make the most of the city’s restaurants, bars and easygoing energy.
- 6
Hobart, All Yours
Hobart is a city that invites you to do as much or as little as you like. Its waterfront, heritage buildings and mountain backdrop make it an easy place to sink into for the day. You could join a Bruny Island Cruise, take a scenic flight over the South West Wilderness, explore the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery or wander the city’s historic streets on foot, all at your own expense. This evening, come together with your travel companions for dinner at one of Hobart’s standout waterfront restaurants and raise a glass to Tasmania.
- 7
Farewell Hobart
Over the past 7 days, you’ve experienced Tasmania through its wild places, generous food culture and the people who shape its stories. From harbours and heritage towns to alpine landscapes and coastal icons, this is a journey that leaves you with more than just photos. As your trip comes to an end, say farewell to Hobart and take a little of Tasmania home with you.

Travel further when you're not travelling alone
Our Social Getaways are small-group holidays designed especially for over-60s Australians who want the freedom of a great trip without the work of planning every detail. A Travel at 60 host travels with the group, the operator handles the logistics, and you get to focus on the bit that matters — the people, the places, and the stories you'll bring home.
Open to solo travellers too. Many of our travellers book on their own and find their feet quickly in a friendly group of like-minded Australians. Reduced single-supplement options are available on most departures — ask one of our consultants and we'll talk you through what's offered on this trip.
- A friendly Travel at 60 host — an Australian face on the ground, looking out for the group from day one.
- Curated local guides & boutique suppliers — the same operators we'd book for our own families.
- Real itineraries, not whirlwind tours — comfortable transfers, breathing room, and the “off the beaten track” stops the big bus tours skip.
Want to talk it through? Call 1300 414 198 7 days a week, Queensland time, and one of our consultants will walk you through it.
