What to Expect
Our daily travel schedule on our Tasmania birding tour varies. Most days involve a full day of birding, usually with a picnic lunch in a prime birding spot. Driving distances vary from short to moderate. We make frequent stops during each day’s travel. You can expect some early morning walks. This tour involves easy to moderate walking and hiking, as well as short forays away from the van. Most days we return in late afternoon to our accommodation. The list of birds and other wildlife seen will be reviewed each evening over dinner, and plans for the next day discussed. After-dinner activities are optional. Spotting scopes will be useful on this trip; the leader will have a scope for the group to share.
It is likely to be cool in Tasmania, especially on Bruny Island, and nights can be cold. Warm clothing is recommended and rain is possible at any time. Wet weather protection is recommended with light waterproof pants and jacket ideal. The sun can be intense, so sunscreen and a brimmed hat are advised.
Our itinerary includes ferry rides to and from Bruny Island. Round-trip fare from Sydney to Hobart is not included.
