Tasmania: summit to sea adventure

Tasmania is a treasure trove of wild nature, offering lush mountains, dramatic sea cliffs, enchanting rainforests, thundering waterfalls and awe-inspiring cave systems—all packed into an island just 1.5 times the size of the Netherlands. With only 500,000 inhabitants and over 50% of the island protected as national parks and reserves, Tasmania is a place where nature truly reigns supreme.

I’m inviting a small group of adventurous souls to join me in exploring my new home and discovering the wilderness and wildlife I’ve come to love.

You’ll get up and close with some of the world’s most iconic animals. You’ll even be feeding them by hand! We’ll go big tree hunting, with Tasmania being home to some of the biggest trees on earth (100m+). You’ll breath in the cleanest air on this planet and explore some incredibly beautiful and wild places – I’m thinking Walls of Jerusalem National Park, Mount field National Park, Gordon river Dam, Three capes etc.. Depending on groupwishes we could chase platypus by kayak on the mighty Derwent Rive, or we could go look for some penguins, go whalespotting, find wombats, taste some Tasmanian wines and whiskeys, oysters, scallops and/or dive into Tassie’s fascinating convict history. We will eat local foods, I’ll bake some bread, and you’ll get to taste my homebrews, including beer, kombucha and elderflowerchampagne.

Tasmania’s weather can be unpredictable, so our schedule will remain flexible—but be ready to embrace adventure! Bring your backpack and sleeping bag (I may be able to provide tents), but more importantly: bring your love of the wild as we explore rugged mountain landscapes, dramatic coastal cliffs, and the authentic Tassie lifestyle.

We’ll end the trip by celebrating my birthday!
