Day 2
Hobart
Hiking at Tasman Peninsula. Eco and hiking tour: After breakfast we head to picturesque Waterfall Bay to walk one the peninsula’s most impressive tracks. The Tasman Coastal Track is nothing short of amazing. Although this is a challenging walk it is worth the effort, with most guests saying this was the highlight of their trip. We begin at Waterfall Bay where a 100-metre waterfall plunges into the ocean. The track then gently climbs through tall stringybark forest before entering lush and beautiful rainforest. For the next 45-60 minutes we climb steeply to Tatnels Hill, the highest point of the day at 548 metres. From here the climbing subsides and the trail winds downhill before undulating along the coastal escarpment. The frequent views of dramatic towering sea cliffs never fail to impress. The variety of habitats seen on this walk also provide for a great diversity of wildlife. Keep an eye out for echidnas, wombats, potoroos, pademelons and Tasmania’s endemic birdlife including the rare and endangered swift parrot. A colony of little penguins also call Fortescue Bay their home and can sometimes be seen at dusk returning to their burrows. Shorter walking option: On today’s shorter walk, we will follow the group through the rainforest before returning to enjoy a short side trip to Waterfall Bluff Lookout. We then walk north along beautiful sea cliffs via Patterson’s Arch and Devils Kitchen to the impressive Tasman Arch. After lunch, free time is available to visit Port Arthur Historic Site (at clients own expense) or relax at the lodge.
