🌊 Tour Highlights:

Table Cape

We begin our day with a scenic coastal drive to the dramatic cliffs of Table Cape, an extinct volcanic plug that rises steeply above the Bass Strait. Enjoy panoramic views across the ocean and surrounding farmland—some of the most fertile in Tasmania. During spring, this area bursts into colour with blooming tulip fields, making it one of the most photographed spots in the region.

Guide Falls

Next, we head inland to discover Guide Falls, a picturesque waterfall nestled in a peaceful forest setting. A short and easy walk takes you to the upper viewing platform, where you can take in the soothing sights and sounds of the falls. It’s the perfect place for a quick photo, a breath of fresh air, and a taste of Tasmania’s natural beauty.

Emu Valley Rhododendron Garden

A true botanical treasure, the award-winning Emu Valley Rhododendron Garden spans 11 hectares and features a vibrant collection of rhododendrons, azaleas, and other exotic and native plants. Wander through garden paths, scenic bridges, and peaceful glades. You might even spot a shy platypus in one of the quiet streams! This garden is a highlight for nature lovers and photographers alike, offering both serenity and spectacular scenery.

Hilltop Vista Point – Upper Burnie Lookout

We’ll make a short stop at the Upper Burnie Lookout, a hilltop vantage point with sweeping views across the city, the bustling port, and the wide blue waters of the Bass Strait. On a clear day, it’s the perfect place to capture that iconic photo of your cruise ship docked below!

Charming Village of Penguin

To wrap up our journey, we visit the delightful seaside town of Penguin. With its laid-back coastal vibe, scenic beachfront promenade, and the famous Penguin sculpture, this quick stop offers a fun and fitting end to your Tasmanian adventure.
