You can also charter a helicopter for an hour’s trip around the local area which is a great way to get a bird’s eye view of all the attractions that this part of Tasmania has to offer. For a different view try chartering a boat and then seeing how far around the island you can get or if you can travel all around Tasmania to see all of the sites over a few days. Drop off in other ports such as Hobart to visit more history and attractions.
