In the far north west of Tasmania there lies an undefined region named The Tarkine - "The Forgotten Wilderness" - almost 400,000 hectares of virgin wilderness, a vast swathe of rarely visited and primal rainforests, mountain ranges and isolated rivers. It is this mysterious and wild nature that draws us in to explore and gain a feeling for the Tarkine. Our six day itinerary takes us to heart of the region with spectacular walks, remote peaks and a river cruise to the middle of the greatest cool temperate rainforest on earth. This itinerary is an exploration of an ecosystem that has remained relatively unchanged since the days of Gondwana. Staying in comfortable cabins ensures we can enjoy the heritage and hospitality of Tasmania's remote north west wilderness. Join us to experience the enchantment and changing moods of this remote, ancient and untamed land.

With a huge diversity of wilderness adventure experience to be had, its easy to see why Tasmania is a world class destination. Tasmanian Expeditions has evolved from its grass roots heritage to offer a range of exclusive adventures as diverse as Tasmania itself. Over the past 25 years Tasmanian Expeditions has used its understanding of the land to carefully construct trekking, cycling, rafting, climbing and kayaking adventures around this unique landscape.

Outstanding Itineraries – Every itinerary gives our clients ample opportunity to experience Tasmania’s diverse wilderness combined with the safety and flexibility necessary in this rapidly changing environment.

Exceptional Leadership – There is no better team of leaders than those at Tasmanian Expeditions. They will earn your trust immediately. Their expertise & knowledge is matched only by their friendly nature and their desire to impart everything they know to you, including their appetites and the culinary skills that go hand in hand.

Reliable Equipment – Adventures in Tasmania are more enjoyable and safer when the best equipment is used. Over 25 years Tasmanian Expeditions has learned what works and what doesn’t. As a result we provide quality, lightweight, well maintained equipment whether it’s included in the trip cost or available for hire.

Local Knowledge – Tasmanian Expeditions regularly exceeds the expectations of our clients. This is made possible by the passion of local leaders to share the very soul of Tasmania with our clients. Figuratively speaking, we leave no rock unturned.

Flexibility - Because Tasmanian Expeditions is the operator of almost all itineraries, it can readily create customised private group itineraries with great service and value.

Responsible Travel - The entire staff of Tasmanian Expeditions share a deep commitment to maintaining the integrity of the Tasmanian wilderness. Environmental values filter through every aspect of the company, from the minimal impact camping procedures through to the interpretation of environment.
