Day by day

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Welcome to Launceston

    You don’t have to arrive early into Launceston, but we highly recommend you do. Time on your side? Walk the short distance to Cataract Gorge, home to the longest single-span chairlift in the world. It’s quite the ride, taking you up high into this intensely beautiful, and spiritual, place, yours on a Choice Experience. Otherwise, meet your Travel Director and fellow Tassie companions for a drink in the evening.

  2. 2

    Launceston - Bicheno

    You’ll smell Bridestowe before you see it. This huge lavender farm perfumes the countryside when it blooms from late spring to early summer. The lavender isn’t just for pretty photos either, it turns up in ice cream, teas and jams, so you can taste the region too. Next, stop at the Legerwood Carved Memorial Trees, a moving tribute where trees have been sculpted into WWI soldiers. By evening, you’ll be in Bicheno. Want a cute local moment? Join a Choice Experience for an after-dark penguin spotting and watch little penguins waddle in from the sea.

  3. 3

    Bicheno - Hobart

    Freycinet Peninsula is postcard-perfect and then some. In Freycinet National Park, the colours look dialled up, with ocean blues washing into Coles Bay and pink granite cliffs framing the scene. Take it all in and enjoy travelling in a way that supports the protection of local wildlife. Later, step back in time in Richmond, where 1820s Georgian buildings now host boutiques, galleries and cafes. To round out the day, visit the Derwent River for a warm Welcome to Country from local palawa people. You’ll learn about bush tucker and connect with Tasmania’s living culture in a meaningful way.

  4. 4

    Port Arthur Historic Site

    Today is big on history and stories. Port Arthur Historic Site is the best-preserved convict site in Australia and one of the world’s most significant convict-era destinations. Nearby names like the Isle of the Dead, Devil’s Kitchen and the Blowhole hint at the harsh realities of the past. Walk through the ruins, picture the lives lived here and let the place do the talking. It’s powerful, confronting and unforgettable. This evening, settle in for dinner at a historic waterfront pub, a relaxed end to a thought-provoking day.

  5. 5

    Farewell from Hobart

    Short and sweet and packed with highlights – this Tasmania tour is sure to inspire future travels.

Travel at 60 Social Getaways

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.
