An island state, Tasmania is Australia’s up and coming holiday getaway. Furnished with lush greenery, dramatic cliff faces, and breathtakingly beautiful coastal stretches, it’s no wonder tourists are flocking to the island. You can access this island by ferry or by taking a plane to a Tasmania airport. Hertz Car Rental is available at most Tasmania airports as well as around the state.
Immerse yourself in the culture of the state, visit popular museums and regard local landmarks. Visit the dark and enthralling MONA, for a glimpse into Tasmania’s quirky art culture. The building’s eclectic design is a prelude to the colourful interior and out of this world art pieces. Step back into the past at the Port Arthur Historic Site. Take your car rental for a spin as you drive through lush forests and farmlands and past the spectacular Tasmanian coastline as you approach this historic site. This vast compound once housed multiple convicts, some who were once British citizens relocated here after being convicted. Port Arthur seeps history, take your time to tour the grounds and discover it all.
Tasmania’s beautiful backdrop of gorgeous coastal sands and lush greenery is arguably one of the state’s best features. Head down to Freycinet National Park, home to the world-renowned Wineglass Bay. A crescent beach of white sands that curve around clear turquoise waters, Wineglass Bay can be viewed from the Lookout, which offers an elevated view of the Bay. Trek over to the Hazards Range, set across the Bay, these towering pink granite mountains glow in the morning light. Go hiking at the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park, a densely forested park with mountain peaks and home to the Franklin and Olga rivers. Climb up to the snow-capped peak of Frenchmans Cap or go rafting in the forest’s wild rivers. You can even see waterfalls as you stroll across the Park’s boardwalk.
The state’s beauty stretches to its towns, and in their architecture, cuisine and even the friendliness of their residents. Drive down to Hobart, Tasmania’s capital. A stylish city, Hobart attracts visitors every year with its bustling port location and exciting festivals. Tour hipster cafes and acclaimed restaurants set around town and spend your evenings at a classy museum. Go hiking at the nearby mountains or sightsee in the city’s historic district, decked out in colonial-era buildings. Festival time is when the city truly comes alive, with revelers from all over Australia, neon lights, amazing acts and fantastic food. Don’t miss out on the gentle seaside charm of Launceston city, a hidden gem of Tasmania. With beautifully quaint houses that line calm streets, Launceston is the perfect getaway city. Go sightseeing or rest at some of the city’s finest restaurants and cafes. With enthralling scenery like Cataract Gorge, many visitors come here to get away and enjoy the serenity. In Tasmania, Hertz has locations in both Hobart and Launceston cities, allowing flexibility for travellers to pick up and return their car rental at either the airport or downtown.
Tasmania is an island getaway quite like no other. With beautiful scenery and a wealth of culture to unpack, visitors find themselves coming back again and again, with something new to discover each time.
