Welcome to northern Tasmania! Pick up your X-TRAIL and drive to Bridport, your first stop on the journey. You will stay at Platypus Park Country Retreat, a boutique B&B with very special guests — you might spot a platypus in the creek! The Bridport Walking Track is a great way to discover the area's breathtaking showcase of natural foreshore, beaches, wildflowers, forest and river landscape.
Surrounded by bushland reserves, white sand and the sloping vines of Pipers Brook wineries, Bridport is the ideal place to relax. Today we suggest to visit Barnbougle or the Little Blue Lake. This evening, you will meet the Little Blue Penguins for a fully guided sunset tour.
Drive to the Tamar Valley, one of Tasmania's prettiest regions boasting art, bush walks, an iconic wine route and a thriving local food scene. Escape into the vines with an immersive accommodation experience — you will be glamping in style in a bespoke geodesic dome. Enjoy a wine in your outdoor bathtub and discover the iconic Tamar Valley Wine Route. We have designed an itinerary for you to sample the region's best wines and visit the most beautiful vineyards.
Wake up and enjoy the morning sun over the vines. With around 60 food operators and 32 vineyards, the Tamar Valley has incredible paddock to plate options. Today, you will experience a very special story with Kooparoona Niara Tours. This authentic personally guided Aboriginal tour will take you on a cultural journey through the Meander Valley and Great Western Tiers region, whilst sampling some of the freshest produce that Tasmania has on offer.
Welcome to Stanley, a town with well preserved colonial buildings, elegant cafes and quality B&B cottages, all sheltering in the imposing shadow of the Nut, an immense flat topped, volcanic plug rising 150 metres straight up from the water's edge. Soak up in the glorious views of Stanley from the Nut and visit the Highfield Historic Site.
Today we recommend to explore Stanley. Perhaps you feel like a nature river cruise today? Relax in your Stanley Seaview Inn Suite with magnificent views and have a drink on one of the balconies.
It is time to head back to Launceston Airport and drop off your X-TRAIL SUV. If you can’t get enough of Tasmania’s north, we can always extend your stay!

"Thank you for your help in putting together our trip to the Northern Territory. Everyone agreed that it was the best family holiday we'd ever had and - even better - everyone nominated something different as 'the best thing'."
"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 “
