A Lap of Tasmania

Three weeks is the right amount of time for a lap of Tassie, and you will still leave things out. Compact distances, but the roads are windy and the weather does what it likes, so slow down and pack layers.

FAQ

How long do I need for a Tasmania lap?
Two weeks is a rush, three is comfortable, four lets you slow down. The distances look small but the roads are slow and the stops are worth lingering at.
Do I need to book the ferry ahead?
Yes — the Spirit of Tasmania, especially with a van, books out months ahead over summer and school holidays. Sort the ferry before anything else.
