TASMANIAN GARDEN TOUR

|
We will travel by coach from Canberra to Melbourne. The coach will board the Spirit of Tasmania at 6.30pm, traveling overnight to Devonport where we will begin our tour of Tasmania.
Cost $2,200 per person double/twin share (single supplement $650) and includes:
- All travel, including a river cruise;
- Dinner bed and breakfast while in Tasmania and some lunches;
- All entry fees.
Cost does not include meals on the Spirit of Tasmania, and it will be necessary to purchase your own lunch at some stops during the tour. (Given that breakfast and dinner are ample, on those occasions that it is necessary to buy lunch, you should only need a sandwich or a light snack.)
