Luxury Experiences

Experience David Walsh's provocative Museum of Old and New Art with an exclusive after-hours private tour. Descend three levels into subterranean galleries carved from Triassic sandstone beside the Derwent River. Your personal curator reveals the stories behind works by Sidney Nolan, Damien Hirst, and emerging artists, followed by a private wine tasting in MONA's acclaimed Moorilla cellar door.

Embark on a guided luxury trek through the heart of Tasmania's World Heritage wilderness. Traverse ancient rainforests draped in moss, cross buttongrass moorlands alive with wildflowers, and ascend alpine plateaus where the air is so clean it redefines the word pristine. Your expert naturalist guide reveals ten-thousand-year-old stories of this UNESCO landscape while you feast on a gourmet wilderness picnic with Tasmanian sparkling wine.

Get up close with Tasmania's iconic marsupial carnivore in a private after-dark encounter at a world-leading conservation sanctuary. Learn about the fight to save this endangered species from facial tumour disease as your wildlife keeper guide introduces you to individual devils by name. Watch them feed, hear their spine-tingling screech echo through the forest, and photograph them just metres away.

Journey through Tasmania's premier wine region with a private sommelier as your guide. Visit boutique vineyards that produce some of the finest cool-climate Pinot Noir and sparkling wine outside of Champagne. Linger over a long lunch at a riverside vineyard restaurant where every dish is paired with the winemaker's personal selection, and leave with a curated case of wines you won't find anywhere else.

Discover the fiery orange lichen-covered granite boulders and crystal-clear waters of the Bay of Fires on this exclusive multi-day coastal retreat. Wade through water so clear you can count the shells on the ocean floor, feast on crayfish pulled from the sea that morning, and fall asleep in luxury glamping tents to the sound of waves breaking against ancient rock formations.

Glide in perfect silence through the mirror-still waters of the Gordon River, where ancient Huon pines — some over 2,000 years old — line the banks of a waterway that has remained unchanged since the last ice age. Step ashore at Heritage Landing to walk through temperate rainforest so dense the canopy filters all but a green-gold light. A gourmet lunch featuring local Tasmanian produce is served as the wilderness drifts past your window.

Hold on as your skipper navigates beneath 300-metre sea cliffs and through narrow sea caves on Bruny Island's wild southern coast. Spot Australian fur seals lounging on rocky platforms, white-bellied sea eagles soaring overhead, and if you're lucky, pods of bottlenose dolphins racing your bow. This is Southern Ocean wildlife theatre at its most dramatic.

Complete the iconic 6-kilometre Dove Lake Circuit beneath the jagged dolerite spires of Cradle Mountain, reflected perfectly in the glacial lake's mirror-still surface. Wander through King Billy pine forests and pencil pine groves that have stood for over a thousand years. Return to the award-winning Cradle Mountain Lodge for a restorative Waldheim Alpine Spa treatment, followed by a five-course dinner showcasing Tasmania's finest seasonal produce and native ingredients.

Step back in time at one of the most hauntingly beautiful heritage sites on earth. Your private heritage guide unlocks doors normally closed to the public, revealing the untold stories of convict life in this 19th-century penal settlement. As night falls, join the famous ghost tour through crumbling ruins and sandstone corridors where, some say, the past has never quite left.

Spend a full day uncovering the Freycinet Peninsula's secret corners — from hidden bays accessible only by foot to cliff-top lookouts where the Hazards plunge into sapphire seas. Your guide knows every unmarked trail and secluded beach. As the sun drops low, sit down to a private three-course dinner on a granite headland overlooking the Tasman Sea, paired with cool-climate wines from the Coal River Valley.

Soar above the Freycinet Peninsula in a private helicopter scenic flight before landing on the pristine white sands of one of the world's top ten beaches. As you circle the dramatic pink granite peaks of the Hazards, your pilot narrates the geological wonder below. Touch down to a silver-service picnic of fresh Tasmanian oysters, smoked salmon, and sparkling wine — just you, the turquoise water, and absolute solitude.

Taste your way through Hobart's vibrant culinary scene on a guided walking tour that begins at the iconic Salamanca Market and weaves through hidden laneways to the city's finest purveyors. Sample hand-shucked oysters at a waterfront bar, taste single-origin chocolate crafted from Tasmanian-grown cacao, bite into sourdough from wood-fired ovens, and sip espresso from award-winning roasters — all while your guide reveals the passionate stories behind every plate.

Pull on waders and step onto a working oyster farm on the shores of Great Oyster Bay, where the Hazards mountains form a dramatic pink-granite backdrop. Shuck Pacific oysters seconds after they leave the water, feast on Tasmanian blue mussels steamed in local white wine, and crack into southern rock lobster while your feet are still in the sand. Pair everything with chilled Tasmanian Riesling for the ultimate farm-to-fork ocean experience.

Conquer kunanyi/Mount Wellington for breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views stretching from Hobart's harbour to the wild Southwest wilderness. Choose a guided sunrise trek through sub-alpine gardens and ancient dolerite columns, or an adrenaline-pumping mountain bike descent along purpose-built trails. Either way, finish at a craft brewery at the mountain's base for well-earned local ales and wood-fired pizza.

Wander through 260 acres of vivid purple lavender fields at the Southern Hemisphere's largest lavender farm, a sight so extraordinary it draws visitors from across the globe. Breathe in the intoxicating fragrance as your private guide reveals the estate's century-old story, then taste lavender-infused ice cream, honey, and fudge before exploring the working distillery where essential oils are extracted using traditional French methods.
