Tasmania is a natural paradise with stunning landscapes. You will get to see amazing beaches, epic cliffs and beautiful rainforests.
Tasmania is full of unique wildlife, so expect to see lots of animals wherever you go! It is different to mainland Australia because of the huge amount of animals you will encounter!
