Discover one of Tasmania’s most spectacular natural attractions, located just minutes from the heart of Launceston. Cataract Gorge is a stunning river reserve carved by the South Esk River, offering dramatic cliffs, lush gardens, walking trails, and panoramic lookouts. Stroll across the historic suspension bridge for breathtaking views of the gorge, explore scenic walking tracks suitable for all fitness levels, or relax in the beautifully maintained Victorian gardens. For a unique perspective, take a ride on the world’s longest single-span chairlift (optional) and enjoy sweeping views over the river and surrounding bushland. Cataract Gorge perfectly combines wilderness and urban charm, making it a must-see highlight of your Tasmanian journey.

Grindelwald

Step into a charming Swiss-style village in the heart of Tasmania. Inspired by the alpine town of Grindelwald in Switzerland, this unique destination near Launceston offers European charm surrounded by rolling countryside. Wander through the quaint streets lined with boutique shops, cafes, and traditional-style architecture. Enjoy views over Lake Louise, explore local artisan stores, or simply soak in the peaceful atmosphere that feels worlds away from Australia. Grindelwald provides a delightful cultural contrast to Tasmania’s rugged landscapes, offering a relaxing and picturesque stop during your 10-hour Hobart day tour.

Ross Female Factory

Step back in time in the charming historic village of Ross, a picturesque stop along Tasmania’s Midlands Highway. Famous for its convict-built sandstone bridge, Ross is a perfect snapshot of colonial heritage, with beautifully preserved stone cottages, quaint streets, and boutique bakeries. Visitors can wander the village, snap photos of the iconic Ross Bridge, and enjoy a quick coffee or famous scallop pie at one of the local cafés.
