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.

A very enjoyable wine tasting experience. The lunch was great too. Worth it to spend a few hours here enjoying the wines, food and scenery here

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.

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!

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.

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!

What to know before visiting Launceston
What Launceston is known for
Launceston's most-booked experiences on Klook are Tours followed by Outdoor & sports activities, and the city's visitor rhythm peaks in February and quietens through May, according to Klook booking data. That makes Launceston a mix of guided sightseeing and active outdoor options across the year. If you like local tours and nature-led activities, you’ll find plenty to choose from, but note the seasonal swing: deciding whether you want peak-season atmosphere or lower crowds will shape when to book and what to include, per Klook booking data.
Best months to visit Launceston
February is the busiest month for bookings, with demand rising sharply, while May records the quietest demand compared with a typical month, according to Klook booking data. Prices wander through the year: the median paid on Klook drifts lowest in August and climbs to a peak in May, so months with smaller crowds often line up with lower typical prices, while the busiest month can also see higher medians. For lower prices and fewer crowds, aim for August or the quieter spring months; for lively peak-season atmosphere, February is the pick.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Busier than usual | HKD 211 |
| February | Peak demand | HKD 795 |
| March | Quieter than usual | HKD 819 |
| April | About average | HKD 943 |
| May | Quieter than usual | HKD 982 |
| June | Quieter than usual | HKD 951 |
| July | About average | HKD 226 |
| August | Quieter than usual | HKD 179 |
| September | Busier than usual | HKD 218 |
| October | About average | HKD 374 |
| November | About average | HKD 390 |
| December | Busier than usual | HKD 250 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Where to stay in Launceston
Klook booking data show South Launceston as the most affordable district on typical nightly hotel rates, typically around HKD 491, while Invermay sits at the priciest end, typically around HKD 1,957. The gap between them is typically about 75%, per Klook booking data. Cheaper districts tend to suit travellers prioritising budget and straightforward accommodation, whereas pricier districts often suit those seeking a more upscale stay or extra amenities; choose based on whether value or a higher-end local experience matters more to your trip.
Tips for travellers from Hong Kong
Most travellers on Klook tend to book about 20 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking around 49 days out, according to platform-wide booking trends. That means planning is helpful: lock in popular Tours and outdoor activities a few weeks before travel, and be even earlier for February when demand peaks. If you prefer flexibility you can still find options closer to departure, especially outside peak periods, but booking on Klook in advance secures availability and typical prices highlighted above. Use Klook to compare options and confirm bookings with confidence ahead of your trip.
