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.

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!

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.

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.🩷

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!

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.

What to know before visiting Launceston
Launceston at a glance
Launceston is a compact Tasmanian city popular with travellers booking Tours and Outdoor & sports activities on Klook. Demand follows a clear seasonal pulse: bookings climb into February, the busiest month of the year, and dip through autumn into May, the quietest month. Klook booking data shows Tours dominate overall volume while outdoor experiences attract smaller but steady interest. For visitors this means a mix of guided tours and active outdoor options year-round, with the February peak delivering the most atmosphere and May offering a much quieter, more relaxed experience. Decide between lively peak-season buzz or a quieter off-peak visit.
Based on Klook booking data.
Best time to visit Launceston
Launceston’s busiest moment is in February when demand rises sharply, while May is noticeably quieter; other shoulder months show mixed demand. Prices drift through the year: the cheapest typical paid on Klook appears in August and prices climb to their priciest in May, so demand and price don’t move perfectly together—February is busy without being the priciest, while May is quiet yet shows the highest typical price. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for August or the quieter shoulder months; for peak-season energy choose February.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Busier than usual | MYR 109 |
| February | Peak demand | MYR 414 |
| March | Quieter than usual | MYR 426 |
| April | About average | MYR 491 |
| May | Quieter than usual | MYR 511 |
| June | Quieter than usual | MYR 495 |
| July | About average | MYR 118 |
| August | Quieter than usual | MYR 93 |
| September | Busier than usual | MYR 114 |
| October | About average | MYR 195 |
| November | About average | MYR 203 |
| December | Busier than usual | MYR 130 |
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
Hotel prices by district on Klook show a wide spread. South Launceston is the most affordable district with a typical nightly rate around MYR 255, while Invermay sits at the priciest end with a typical nightly rate around MYR 1,018, a gap of roughly 75% between them. Budget-conscious travellers or those prioritising simple nightly rates tend to favour the more affordable districts; travellers seeking a more premium local stay or willing to pay for a higher-end option may choose the priciest district. These patterns are based on Klook booking data and reflect typical nightly rates seen on the platform.
Tips for travellers from Malaysia
Most travellers book their Launceston experiences well ahead—typically about 20 days ahead—and the earliest planners book around 49 days out, so plan in advance especially for busy periods. Because February is Launceston’s busiest month, locking in popular tours earlier can help secure preferred dates. For more flexible plans, many activities still become available in the weeks before travel, with some last-minute options around 7 days out. Use Klook to compare typical prices and secure bookings in advance or close to travel depending on how fixed your dates are—Klook booking data guides these timing patterns.
