Want to know more about the Lap of Tasmania?
Here are some common questions from other travellers…
Tasmania is a small island, and a ‘lap’ by car, campervan or motorcycle is the perfect way to experience everything it has to offer.
Ancient rainforests? Quirky Tasmanian devils? Gourmet paddock-to-plate dining? Rich colonial history? Exciting world-class festivals? It’s got the lot, and it’s all within easy driving distance.
The official route of this Tasmania road trip is 1,500km long, and using my free tips and advice it’s easy to create your own version tailored to your interests and preferred style of travel.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have the luxury of months to explore Tasmania?
Most of us have no more than two or three weeks, and that’s why my 14-day ‘Ultimate’ itinerary is ideal for your Tasmania driving holiday.
Only have one week? You’ll love my 7 day ‘Tassie Whirlwind’ itinerary, helping you complete the full lap while experiencing major attractions such as Cradle Mountain, the Bay of Fires, Wineglass Bay and Port Arthur.
Taking your own car or campervan is a fantastic option – but it’s not the only one.
Booking your own vehicle on the Spirit of Tasmania ferry is easy. There are no luggage restrictions, and it means you can experience this self-drive Tasmania road trip in a vehicle that you know and love.
At the same time, many travellers prefer to maximise their time on the island and book a car or book a campervan for pickup on arrival. There are plenty to choose from and my free articles help you select the best option for your style of holiday.
