While it gets darker and our eyes have adjusted to the darkness, millions of stars and a great range of constellations will be visible. After enjoying the sunset on Kunanyi (if road conditions permit), we spend about 1,5 hours observing the Tasmanian night sky, where you have the opportunity to look through a telescope and binoculars to explore galaxies and, with lots of luck, the mighty ‘Aurora Australis’, also known as the southern lights.

Wonderful experience

Wonderful experience with Premier Travel Tasmania: very well organized tour! We had a skilled professional guide, Rob, who was carefully looking after us and it was really a pleasure to listen to his explanations. Highly recommended, We couldn’t make a better choice.

Amazing trip

We’ve had such an amazing trip here in Tasmania. Bill, our guide, filled us in on the history and lore of Port Arthur, Richmond, Hobart and Freycinet. My son LOVED the visit to the penal colony, and the dramatic stories of the people who were held there. Bill is so knowledgeable about the food and culture as well. And even when it looked like the weather might hamper our plans, he adjusted the route so we could enjoy Tasmania as much in the rain as in the sunshine.

He showed us that this beautiful island is rich in history, culture, amazing food and coffee, stunning views, and amazing wildlife. We leave here totally in love with Tasmania!!

Would highly recommend

We wanted to experience the natural environment of Tasmania, and learn more about its history and wildlife. Our guide was THE BEST! He was knowledgable, enthusiastic, and responsive to our pace and questions.
