Soar above sea cliffs and peek into Tassie’s convict past with Osborne Heli Tours. Tasmania’s most epic window seat. See nature in her most dramatic mood. Sheer dolerite cliffs, Tasman Island’s far-flung lighthouse and an expanse of sea stretching to Antarctica. Strap in for an aerial view of wild Tasmania.

Completed the Three Capes Track with a group of friends - what an amazing adventure - stunning scenery - excellent accommodation and cooking facilities.. very surprised by the cabins and cooking areas that have been built. The rangers chat each night was very educational and a highlight to the coming day. Not a hike to complete in warm weather as some of the track is in full sun with no option of shade...

Not really a cave’s person but this blew me away. Involves a number of steps to walk down and retreat from the site but definitely worth the effort. This geological phenomenon takes you to a viewing platform at the rear of the cave and depending on the tide the cave will either be empty providing magical views of the ocean on a sunny day or will be filled with water at high tide. At low tide it is possible to climb down and walk through to the beach, though caution is required.
