Tasmania: 6-Day Luxury Small-Group Tour with All-Inclusive Meals, Wine Tastings & Cradle Mountain Guided Walks $3,599 /person

Discover Tasmania, where the land is untamed, the food is gourmet and the wine is local, on this incredible six-day, luxury small-group tour (max 10 travellers). Northwest Tasmania is wild to its core, yet that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it in absolute luxury – with gorgeous handpicked accommodation, out-of-this-world experiences and all meals included. Mountains, rivers, forests and lakes; feel worlds away from civilisation when you're surrounded by the wonders of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. There's nothing quite like the humbling experience of being surrounded by sublime natural landscapes – and you can chase that feeling on this incredible journey. Take guided walks through ancient forests in Cradle Mountain – Lake St Clair National Park, where 1000-year-old pines tower over you on the King Billy Track. Circle the perimeter of Cataract Gorge on foot before gaining an aerial perspective aboard the chairlift, which spans the entire length of the gorge. Then, glide along the picturesque Gordon River on the ultra-quiet electric Spirit of the Wild cruiser for an utterly tranquil experience. Tasmania is the perfect place to indulge your inner gourmand, with countless wineries, breweries and distilleries scattered throughout the island state. Enjoy a private tasting at renowned Josef Chromy Wines and Tamar Valley winery, which showcase the best drops in the region. For those devoted to the stronger stuff, a Hellyers Road Distillery tour reveals the secrets to creating one of the world's finest single malt whiskies.
