The pass was easy to purchase. Got the Australia pass (2 activities). Definitely, had to plan ahead and 2 activities that are worth more than the cost of the pass. convenience:10 ease of redemption:10 activity inclusions:10

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.

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.

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!

very very good experience! learnt a lot from the guide about the Tasmanian Devils and Quolls! she is amazing and explained very clearly. kudos to her and the team for their conservation efforts and tender loving care to this little ones! I feel the animals are well looked after :) just to note, you are entitled for 24 hours entry before and after your ticket timing, so do visit them again after your stipulated time. highly recommend them if you are in the area. support them as your tickets pay for their conservation efforts!

The tour guide was very friendly and personable, like a living history book, introducing the history of Cradle Mountain. The private car and lunch included in the tour were very convenient. We also visited Mural Town, but due to its distance, the sightseeing time there was not very long. We had about 1.5 hours for independent hiking before the guide led us on the rest of the tour; more time would have been better. Overall, I was very satisfied.

What to know before visiting Launceston

Quick snapshot of Launceston’s travel rhythm

Launceston’s top draws on Klook are city tours and outdoor & sports activities, and booking demand varies noticeably through the year. Demand peaks around February while it drops into May, so the city’s calendar alternates between busier summer months and much quieter autumn windows.

Best months to visit and how prices move

According to Klook booking data, February is the busiest month and May sees the lowest demand. Prices follow their own pattern: November typically shows the highest activity prices, while August is usually the cheapest month on Klook. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for August or the quieter shoulder months; for peak-season atmosphere choose February or the busier late-year months when demand and prices tend to be higher. Note that demand and price don’t always move together here — for example, November is one of the priciest months even though the biggest demand peak is in February.

Tips for travellers from Singapore

Most travellers from Singapore typically book around three weeks ahead, with last-minute bookings sometimes possible within about a week and early planners booking several weeks out. If your trip is flexible you can often secure activities a little closer to departure, but during February and the busier months it’s wise to plan sooner rather than later. Use Klook to compare tours and outdoor activities and lock in options that match your travel dates and budget.
