1. Hobart In the morning, we will first drive to the best-preserved town of Richmond in Australia, where you will visit Australia's earliest stone arch bridge built in 1823 and the Catholic church built in 1836. The old bakery and dessert shop in the town are also a good place for tourists. This is also the filming location of the Hong Kong movie "Once Again". Salamanca Square is only open on Saturdays, so go and visit it if it is open. In the afternoon, we will climb Mount Wellington, which is 1,270 meters above sea level. It is an excellent location to overlook the panoramic view of Hobart and the nearby sea. Next, we will visit Australia's oldest brewery (exterior). We will also go to Tasmania's famous oyster farm, where you can taste delicious Pacific oysters (tasting at your own expense).
2. Bruny Island [North-South Line/Adventure Bay/Oyster Farm/Honey Farm/Chocolate Factory]
Drive south through Hobart city and arrive at the ferry terminal. Take the ferry for 20 minutes to Bruny Island. Drive along the coastline and shuttle through the forest to the famous North-South Line. This narrow trail connects the south and north of Bruny Island like a thin line, with endless sea on both sides. This is also the habitat for penguins to return to their nests. Then go to the oyster farm on the island to taste the most delicious oysters in Tasmania (at your own expense*). Visit the bustling Adventure Bay on Bruny Island and look for the unique white kangaroos on Bruny Island. There are also some small shops hidden in the mountains and forests on the island, where you can eat cheese, taste seafood, and even have a glass of whiskey.
3. Mount Field In the morning, we will first go to Mount Field National Park, which is the second oldest nature reserve in Australia and the oldest nature reserve in Tasmania. It has the best temperate rainforest in the world. There are both towering ancient eucalyptus trees and the beautiful and spectacular Russell Falls. Because the forest here is lush and rich in negative oxygen ions, it is also called a natural oxygen bar. In the afternoon, we will visit the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens. Founded in 1818, it is the second oldest botanical garden in Australia. There are not only various local plants, but also plants from Europe, Asia, Africa and even Antarctica. The orchid pavilion, which is often used as a wedding venue, has a variety of beautiful flowers.
4. Wineglass Bay [Freycinet National Park - Wineglass Bay/Cosby Bay/Honeymoon Bay]
The east coast of Tasmania is a dream world, with blue sky, white clouds, colorful sea water and colorful reefs embellishing the coast. In 1999, Wineglass Bay was voted one of the top ten beaches in the world by the American travel magazine "Outside". However, Wineglass Bay is located in the mountains, and its beauty is not exposed. Tourists must climb high and spend some effort to appreciate its beauty. Stop at the beautiful coastal town of Swansea on the way to enjoy the beauty of the east coast of Tasmania from different angles. (For driving safety, the tour guide will not accompany you on the mountain climbing)
5 Port Arthur Port Arthur is the site of exiled criminals in the colonial era. It was the largest prison in the Southern Hemisphere in the 19th century and the best-preserved prison monument in Australia. The cultural history of Port Arthur and the beautiful scenery of the Tasman Peninsula have become one of the most famous tourist hotspots in Tasmania. Every tourist who goes to Tasmania will make a special trip to visit Port Arthur (tickets are at your own expense). On the way to Port Arthur Prison, we will also visit the four natural wonders of the Tasman Peninsula: Tasman Arch Cave, Devil's Kitchen, Chessboard Stone, and Blowhole.

[Free Aurora Chasing Tour during the Aurora Season]
Description of the light chasing trip:
Tasmania is one of the best destinations in Australia for photographing the Southern Lights. You can take photos of the lights all year round. June to September is the season for the Southern Lights to explode, and there is an endless stream of "light chasers" coming to Tasmania.
The Tasmanian multi-day tour includes a free light-chasing tour for guests. Guests do not need to pay to see the aurora, but there are the following terms:
1) The aurora index must be above 5 (only with this index can you take photos of the aurora) and the weather must be clear and cloudless before we can organize a light chasing trip. If the above conditions are not met, our company has the right to decide whether to arrange a light chasing trip;
2) Guests do not need to pay; however, if the light chasing trip cannot be arranged due to insufficient conditions, or if guests participate in the light chasing trip but do not see (or photograph) the aurora, no refund will be given;
3) Guests who participate in multi-day tours only have one chance to chase the light; if you sign up for a second chance to chase the light during the tour, you will need to pay a fee (A$40 per person per time)
4) Guests who participate in the light chasing tour will disperse on their own after the day's tour ends, and will meet at the meeting point at the time agreed by the on-duty tour guide to participate in the light chasing tour. After the tour ends, the tour guide will send them back to the hotel.
5) The light chasing location will be arranged by our company and the tour guide on duty.
