My friends and I chose to do a full loop around the lake on the day of our tour. The trail was mostly flat, and the scenery along the way was beautiful, featuring both lake views and surrounding forests. Unfortunately, the weather was a bit overcast when we were walking, and we had to rush through the latter half of the walk to make our集合 time, so we couldn't fully enjoy the views. After the walk, we had lunch at a cabin near Ronny Creek. If you have time, you can also take a short, ten-minute walk to try your luck at spotting wombats.

I spent eight days in Tasmania and participated in several day tours. I genuinely feel that the Bay of Fires day tour was the most enjoyable and highly recommended. David is truly an excellent local guide; the itinerary was well-planned, his commentary was professional, and he was always friendly and attentive to us. Additionally, there were six of us on the tour that day, and even though we were all from different places and meeting for the first time, we were fortunate that everyone was very friendly and talkative. The atmosphere of the entire tour was fantastic, leaving us with wonderful memories.🩷

I actually booked the tour because of the aurora offer in the description. Unfortunately, until the end of the tour, the metric for aurora sighting was poor and we ended up not going for the sighting at all. Despite that unlucky part, this tour gives amazing experience for travelers who plan to visit Tasmania for the first time. We don’t speak Chinese at all, but tour guides always give English explanation in addition to pre-recorded English audio guide of each destination. If you are hunting for aurora sighting, make sure you’ve checked the possibility of seeing the aurora Australis before booking. Otherwise, just enjoy the beauty of Tasmania as covered by this tour.

The guide was very informative. Came on time. Thoroughly talked through all the enclosures we walked past. You definitely get to see devils in action. Highly recommend this tour!

Truly enjoy the day tour to Cradle Mountain from Launceston arranged by McDermott's Coaches. Our guide David not only show us the best location for photoshoots but also gave an enriching history on Tasmania and how Cradle Mountain became a National Park worthy for everyone to enjoy it's scenary. We truly love the story of Gustave and Kate in their efforts in conservation and we understand why as we walk around the mountain immense with it's beauty and scenic view.

We really enjoyed the tour during our stopover to the iconic Cradle Mountain. We highly recommend it; our tour guide was so knowledgeable, it was like listening to a podcast. We will definitely be back and book again!

We had a wonderful experience on the Tasmania 6-Day Classic Attractions Tour with Aurora. Overall, everything was very well organized, from the itinerary to the daily logistics, which made the trip smooth and stress-free.
A special thank you to our guides, Martin and Mark. They were both friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the journey. They went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable, shared interesting information about the places we visited, and created a fun and welcoming atmosphere.
The itinerary covered Tasmania’s beautiful highlights, and we enjoyed the stunning scenery and unique experiences. It was a great way to explore the island without having to worry about the planning.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-organized tour with excellent guides. Thank you, Martin and Mark, for making our Tasmania trip so memorable!

Pickup from our hotel accommodation was great and much appreciated. Friendly guide. A pity that when we visited Devil’s corner, the place was closed due to the lack of power, and we couldn’t go in for some wine tasting or oysters. But that was beyond the control of the travel company.

The itinerary was excellent, allowing us to visit places other tours don't. However, the accommodation arrangements were not the same for all group members. We stayed in a twin room at a youth hostel, and some rooms had bunk beds. Our room was identical to those of other solo travelers who joined the tour. As for the tour bus, it wasn't very comfortable, making long journeys a bit challenging. Surprisingly, the most scenic part of the trip, the river cruise, was an optional extra.

What to know before visiting Launceston
Quick snapshot of Launceston and what to expect
Launceston’s Klook bookings are led by tours and outdoor & sports activities, so it suits travellers after guided experiences and nature-based days out. Demand rises and falls through the year, with a clear busy spell and quieter months that shape when attractions and activities feel livelier.
Best times to visit for crowds and prices
Klook data shows demand peaks in February and dips around May. Prices trend independently: they fall to a low around April and climb to a high around June, so the quietest month (May) follows the cheapest month (April) while the busiest month (February) occurs earlier in the year. If you want smaller crowds and lower costs, aim for April–May; if you’re after peak-season atmosphere, February delivers the busiest vibe.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Australian travellers typically book roughly three weeks ahead, with many purchases made up to seven days before travel and some securing plans earlier. For popular tours and outdoor activities in peak months, plan and reserve ahead on Klook to lock in your preferred time; for short, flexible trips you can often book within a week of travelling.
