What to bring
The weather can be unpredictable in Tasmania and the evenings can be very cold. Warm jackets, a beanie and gloves are whole-heartedly recommended.
Solid walking shoes that you can comfortably walk for hours in. We are commonly on unpaved hiking trails.
Cameras & phone chargers – there are so many photo opportunities. Tasmania is stunningly beautiful and you’d hate to miss that instagram opportunity.
