"The trip with Airguides was magic. Paul was our kind and patient guide, Mark Fitz was our talented and positive photographer/storyteller. It was a perfect mix of activity and relaxation and I’m already planning my next Airguides trip."
"I recently visited Lady Musgrave Island with Airguides. They have a unique and meaningful approach to travel and travelling with and learning from a world-class photographer, who was on the trip, was incredible."
"I cannot say enough amazing things about Airguides and the amazing honeymoon they planned for us. We began our trip planning by being overwhelmed with travel blogs, not knowing what was actually the best plan for us."
“Just had an amazing trip to Heron Island organised by the Airguides team. Perfect balance of activity and relaxation, they made it so easy. Can't wait until I can do another trip!“
“ We recently organised our trip to Heron Island with Bibi and Paul as a last minute getaway. Seamlessly dealt with and an added bonus of having a world-class photographer/ free-diver as our story teller. The trip has only whet our appetite for more positive and relaxing experiences with the Airguides team- Awesome “

Drive to the Central Highlands and make a pit stop at Quamby Bluff, the northernmost peak in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. You will experience an indulgent stay at Thousand Lakes Wilderness Lodge for two nights.
On your drive to the Central Highlands, we recommend to stop at Quamby Bluff, the northernmost peak in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. Enjoy panoramic views of northern Tasmania including the Central Plateau and Great Western Tiers. The walk takes you through the rainforest and over scree as it winds its way to the summit. The original inhabitants of the area were the Pallittorre Clan of the northern nation of Aboriginal Tasmanians. Lartitickitheker is the Aboriginal name for Quamby Bluff.
Thousand Lakes Wilderness Lodge is the gateway to your Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area experience. Smell the crisp air, taste the fresh stream water, touch the ancient dolerite boulders and see the wildlife and ever changing weather. The Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage area is a free-walking zone, so you are free to explore and discover the highlands and make it you own.

Explore the western lakes of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area on our off road e-bikes. Also known as “Fat Bikes”, they are the perfect way to unleash your adventurous spirit whilst still enjoy the comfort of a luxury spring seat and full front suspension. One of the benefits of e-bikes is they can roll over any terrain in the wilderness: sand, loose rocks, even snow and are adjustable to suit all fitness levels. The rider always has complete control over how much pedal power is provided and how much the e-bike system contributes. If you are going up a hill or feeling a little tired – no problem, just pedal less and dial up the power!

On the drive to Launceston, duck into the town of Tunbridge, where the convict-built 1848 Blackman River Bridge is Australia's oldest wooden span bridge. Admire Tunbridge Manor, one of three coaching inns that once served the town. Today it's a stately private residence. Hit Ross in time for lunch at one of its two bakeries. Bakery 31 is famed for its scallop pies, while Ross Village Bakery is known for its “world’s greatest” vanilla slice. Tasmania's merino industry began in the Midlands around Ross in the 1830s and is celebrated in the Tasmanian Wool Centre, which features a re-created shearing shed, galleries and one of the state's largest retail areas dedicated to woollens.
The town of Ross is the perfect size to explore on foot. Stroll past the red phone boxes on the main street and pick up the phone to listen to audio stories of the town's history. Ross Bridge, built in 1836 by convicts, spans the Macquarie River. The 186 carvings on Australia's third-oldest bridge were considered so exquisite that the stonemasons were issued free pardons. End your walk at the Ross Female Factory Historic Site, a probation station for female convicts and their babies in the mid-19th century. It's one of four female factories built in Tasmania, and regarded as the most archaeologically intact female convict site in Australia.
Brickendon is one of Tasmania's oldest farming properties, settled in 1824 by William Archer. In 2010, Brickendon Estate along with its neighbouring property, Woolmers Estate were listed jointly as a World Heritage Site being part of the Australian Convict Sites World Heritage Property. We highly recommend a stop in Brickendon to experience the remarkable rural landscape, magnificent heritage gardens, amazing collection of convict constructed buildings, family history and memorabilia.
One of Launceston’s landmarks, the 1830s flour mill that has housed Stillwater’s award-winning restaurant offers more than just one of the best culinary experiences in Tasmania — now you can sleep at Stillwater! The architecturally designed and beautifully appointed rooms are nestled in the great bones of one of Tasmania’s heritage icons. Each room has waterfront views and its own unique character. Your comfortable Deluxe King suite features a a walk in shower, spacious vanities and a view of the Tamar River. A la carte breakfast is included and can be enjoyed in the restaurant or in your room.
