Overview

Experience the best highlights worry-free on our great-value 5-hour tour, designed especially for cruise ship passengers and operated by award-winning eGuide.

Enjoy a scenic journey inland from Burnie to Wings Wildlife Park, where you’ll spend one hour viewing Tasmania’s unique animals, including the famous Tasmanian Devil.

We then travel back along the coast, stopping in the seaside town of Penguin for photos with the iconic Big Penguin, before visiting the beautiful Emu Valley Rhododendron Gardens — with a chance to spot platypus in the wild.
