Where We Have Been Together

From conference transfers and cruise arrivals to school camps, weddings, private tours and interstate visitors, these journeys reflect the wide range of group transport services we provide across Tasmania.

Back Roads tour

Back Roads tour for Travel Club members, 35 legends on board. James Levett drove like a pro, and Vickie Gracie kept everyone informed and properly entertained. “Roads less travelled” vibes, Oatlands Bullock Festival, then home via Stonor, Rhydaston, Colebrook, Campania and Richmond. Top day. 🚌👏

Tourism Tasmania + Journalist Guests

Whisky Week meant two days touring six lovely ladies to a stack of Tassie distilleries. With Tourism Tasmania and media on board, it was all notes, tours and tastings (none for me 😇). Highlight: a seriously good lunch feast at Callington Mill Distillery in Oatlands.

Swiss Guests to Kempton Distillery

Took a few guests visiting from Switzerland up to Kempton Distillery. They loved the character, rich history and all the distillery delights inside. A proper Tassie highlight

Blue Lagoon Camp

A group of Grade 6 students headed to Blue Lagoon Camp in Dodges Ferry. Epic spot with a packed activities itinerary, and on the ride back to school their energy was still sky-high… somehow

Port Arthur Historic Site Tour

Took 18 USA guests, travelling Australia with their Aussie tour guide Al, down to Port Arthur. It always hits different, equal parts awe and emotion, with history and ruins that pull you straight back in time.

Travel Club tours

The senior Travel Club on an adventure. Stopping to quench their thirst with a beer tasting during one of the recent interstate trips, fully escorted by a dedicated tour leader.
