Tasmania was first known by colonizers as Van Diemen's Land: those three words conjuring up the echoes of convict strife and notoriety. But there’s much more to this lush island than a violent past. Tasmania has been the subject of much film and music, but as a tourist destination, there’s still loads for you to discover, and plenty for you to sing about.
Separated from the mainland of Australia by the Bass Strait, it's probably fair to say it never really made it as a prime tourist spot in the past – but that's no longer the case. A great way to see and experience the whole island is with a 4WD Hire Tasmania.
Tasmania by Four Wheel Drive
There's not many places that can offer the dual luxuries of a holiday in the mountains and a traditional seaside break. Tasmania throws in iconic wildlife, golf, water sports and more, leaving you with a holiday close to perfection.
Hiring a 4 wheel drive vehicle will offer you the flexibility to make the most of your trip. A great starting point is Hobart, the island's harbour capital, brimming with settlers' cottages and fine colonial buildings. Hobart boasts a busy arts and music scene, and its street buskers are well worth a listen.
The Central Highlands will offer you the chance to soak up real wilderness. It’s also known as the Lake Country, with Cradle Mountain seated at its centre. It's a trout fishing paradise, and if you're into photography, you'll come away with a phenomenal photo album. Take a Tasmania 4X4 hire and give yourself the freedom to get around. With our 4WDs, you can easily go off-road, secure in the knowledge the vehicle won't let you down. We have a range of vehicles so you are able choose what is best suited to your style; sleep the whole family in comfort and save on accomodation by choosing to a hire a cheap 4x4 campervan so you can get the most out of your holiday.
Drive over to Narawntapu National Park, a true playground for the rich array of wild life that inhabits the region. You'll see kangaroos, wallabies and wombats - and they may even stick around if you approach them. (Be wary, though, roos and wombats can be fiercely territorial.) It's also a haven for many species of birds, including ducks, waders and honeyeaters. If you're lucky, you may get a glimpse of the pride of the island, the Tasmanian devil, going about its business. It's a fierce looking predator, with an inimitable screech to match.
For a coastal drive, a visit to one of the island's wineries, and a holiday you’ll never forget, a Tasmania 4WD hire can make life just that little bit more interesting.
