Tasmania
Tasmania Tours
One third of Tasmania’s land mass is national park and UNESCO world heritage wilderness, providing an extraordinary diverse habitat for an abundance of native wildlife. Tasmania is an archipelago of over 330 islands with landscapes that were shaped by previous ice ages and many of Tasmania's plants and wildlife species are living evidence of the breakup of the super-continent of Gondwana, millions of years ago.
When touring Tasmania, visitors will experience an amazing blend of expansive ancient temperate rainforests, spectacular coastlines, rugged mountains and sparkling highland lakes provide refuge and habitat for a rich array of rare and endemic plants and animals.
This natural wonderland supports a population of mammals, birds, frogs and reptiles, many of which are found only in Tasmania. Small group tours across Tasmania provide access to 12 endemic bird species, 33 native terrestrial and 41 marine mammals which are known to occur in Tasmania, with the region renowned as a prime spot for marsupials including quolls, bandicoots, bettongs, potoroos, kangaroos, wallabies, pademelons and wombats.
