Day 2 - Our first stop today is The Wooden Boat
Centre in Franklin, where you can marvel at the beauty
and fragrance of the local timbers as craftsmen transform
raw timbers into superbly crafted vessels before your
eyes. A journey down the Huon Valley brings us to the
Tahune Forest Air Walk, where you can stroll through
the magnificent forest canopy 30 metres above the
ground.
Day 3 Today we partake in the Peppermint Bay
Cruise Departing from the tourist hub of Sullivan’s
Cove, the cruise takes in the harbour, the River Derwent,
and the magnificent waters of the dÉntrecasteaux
Channel, on its way to Peppermint Bay.
A stop at the Tinderbox Marine Reserve will show us life
under water without getting wet using the “Spy Ball”
underwater camera. See giant kelp forests, crayfish,
stingrays and a myriad other fish species.
We enjoy a set three course banquet style lunch featuring
the best of local produce at the Peppermint Bay
Restaurant. Dinner at own expense tonight, maybe at
one of the many waterfront restaurants close to our
accommodation.
Day 5 We visit Hobart’s most iconic attraction – MONA
( Museum of Old & New Art ). This is the largest privately
funded museum in Australia. The museum presents
antiquities, modern and contemporary art from the David
Walsh collection. We will venture up Mt Wellington and
visit the charming, historic Georgian village of Richmond.
Day 6 The Australian Wooden Boat Festival continues
today with the last event attracting over 600 boats and
150,000 spectators. Held every two years, it is the largest
event of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. The spectacular
Hobart waterfront is completely filled with a vibrant mix of
entertainment, nautical displays, maritime activities and
genuine Tasmanian hospitality over four days of fun and
excitement. Optional wooden boat sailing available today.
Day 7 We fly back to Sydney where the airport shuttles are
waiting to take you home.
