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.

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!

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.🩷

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
Discover Launceston’s relaxed experiences and top activities
Launceston is a compact Tasmanian city known for its tours and outdoor & sports activities, which dominate Klook bookings year-round. Demand rises and falls through the year, with a sharp peak in February and noticeably lighter interest in May.
Best months to visit for price and crowd levels
Klook booking data show February as the busiest month and May as the quietest. Prices drift through the year: past Klook data indicate November is typically one of the cheapest months for activities, while April has shown up as one of the priciest. If you want smaller crowds and lower typical prices, aim for November or the quieter shoulder months; for peak-season energy and the fullest programme of tours, February is when demand is highest. In this market the busiest month (February) does not line up with the single priciest month (April), so you can sometimes avoid the biggest crowds without paying the absolute top prices.
Tips for travellers from the United States
Most travellers book around three weeks in advance on average, with last-minute bookings commonly possible up to about a week before. For short, flexible trips you can often reserve popular tours a few days out, but if you plan to travel in February or want specific time slots, try to lock arrangements in earlier. Use Klook to compare likely options and secure activities ahead when travelling during busier months.
