While Coach Tours Tasmania offers a regular schedule to some fantastic tour locations, there may be some destinations and/or attractions that the travelling customer may wish to experience which is not available on any tour schedule. And also there may be a situation when the travelling customer may wish to have a private tour. Typically the cost of a private tour is similar to the cost of five passengers joining a scheduled tour, so will give a small group the option to have a private tour even though they may wish to travel on a regular itinerary. With the cost of a private tour, entry fees are at the passenger's own expense.

Tasmania's east coast is fast becoming renowned around the world for its fluffy pure white sands and crystal clear azure blue waters. Granite rocky outcrops covered with orange lichen jut out into the ocean to separate a large collection of hidden away beaches. Relaxing peaceful locations that offer you a chance to reflect on how wonderful Mother Nature is. This is the Bay of Fires. Our first visit is Bridestowe Lavender Farm for views of the lavender paddocks. Then onto the Myrtle Rainforest Walk on the Welborough Pass for a short walk through moss-covered trees and ferns. Early afternoon we arrive at the Bay of Fires. Visit the Main Beach in Binalong Bay for oysters, lunch and a beach experience. Then Harbour Point to view the orange-covered granite rocks, before a beach walk along the remote Taylor's Beach. Fantastic. Later we stop in St. Helens, and then head south to the St Mary's Pass where we head inland to pass through the contrasting grazing lands of the Fingal Valley and Northern Midlands. September - March tour departs Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. April - August tour departs Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Tour will not depart Christmas Day or Good Friday.

Because of its natural beauty, the Cradle Mountain National Park is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Tasmania. Invigorating mountain air, spectacular scenery, iconic visit. Listed as a World Heritage Area by the United Nations to protect its unique pristine wilderness, its global significance is for all to see and experience. The viewing point for Cradle Mountain is from Dove Lake, and while you are there you have two hiking options. Firstly you may choose to walk around the lake which takes approximately two-and-a-half hours at a brisk pace. Alternatively, you may choose a selection of shorter 30-minute walks as well as a visit to Waldheim Chalet. Not everyone on the tour has to do the same option. The driver stays with the short walk passengers, and at a pre-determined time will return to collect the lake walkers. To finish off, time permitting, there is a waterfall/rainforest walk for everyone to enjoy. On your way to Cradle see the 'Town of Murals' Sheffield, and on your return enjoy a stop at Ashgrove Cheese. This tour departs Mondays and Wednesdays. Tour will not depart Christmas Day.
