Tasmania (Hobart), Australia

Southwest World Heritage Experience

Scenic Flight and Cruise Reveal a Remote Region’s Beauty Learn about the scenic wilderness and cultural heritage of remote southwestern Tasmania. Embark by plane on a flight to bucolic Recherche Bay, located on Tasmania’s southernmost point—South East Cape. Board your boat for a ride along the Melaleuca Inlet into Bathurst Harbor, a shallow, nearly landlocked body of water surrounded by alluvial plains and mountains. Take in the stunning views of the surrounding landscape from your waterborne vantage. After lunch, head to the Needwonnee Walk for an opportunity to learn about the indigenous people of this far-flung region. Stroll the boardwalk of this award-winning installation as it winds its way through the forest and plains beside the Melaleuca Lagoon and enjoy an interpretive experience that tells the history of the ancient Needwonnee people. Later, your return flight to Hobart will take you over the rugged Eastern Arthurs mountain range and its highest pinnacle, Federation Peak. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
