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 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.

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.🩷

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 guides were very nice and gave us lots of information, not only on safety measures but also sharing stories about the surrounding trees. The zipline itself was very enjoyable—fast and high, while still making us feel completely safe. The guides also helped take a bunch of photos. We enjoyed the tour a lot!

What to know before visiting Launceston

Discover Launceston’s laid‑back charms

Launceston is a relaxed Tasmanian city where Tours and outdoor & sports activities dominate bookings, so expect a mix of guided experiences and nature‑focused outings. Demand on Klook shows clear seasonal peaks and lulls that shape when attractions are busiest through the year.

Best months to visit for crowds and prices

Klook booking data show the busiest month is February while demand falls to its lowest in May. Prices drift up through late winter and spring, peaking in May, while the cheapest time on Klook typically appears in August; overall the most expensive months do not perfectly match the busiest month. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, plan for August or other trough months; for a lively, peak‑season atmosphere aim for February when demand is highest.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers book activities around three weeks ahead on average, with many locking plans earlier in busier periods, so allow about 20 days when you want more certainty and check availability up to seven days before for last‑minute flexibility. Browse Tours and outdoor activities on Klook to compare options and reserve those that match your travel dates—this helps secure popular slots without overplanning.
