Where We’ve Been Together

Cruise arrivals, Travel Club road trips, Whisky Week tastings, school camps and international groups discovering Tasmania’s heritage and landscapes. These past tours reflect the range of journeys we’ve proudly hosted, each one shaped by storytelling, local insight and authentic Tassie experiences.

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.

What Our Clients Say

Don’t just take our word for it—hear from our satisfied customers

"Dear Jackie, Just a short note to say thank you for your skilful and patience driving with the recent conference in Hobart. Our delegates visited Clarke Avenue Battery Point. It was a pleasure working with you"

"Fantastic experience with Coal River Coaches in organising a drop off / pickup for our wedding! Emma, the travel coordinator was a breeze to deal with - always available for any questions. Our coach driver, on the night, Suze was fantastic - she was a very careful driver and made sure that safety was top of mind especially driving through Huon Valley at night in winter. Thank you!"

If you are looking for a Tasmanian Transfer Company - do not go past Coal River Coaches. They are simply outstanding. Where do I begin; a pleasure to deal with, detailed, great value for money, the owners are at the coal face - which is very much like our Veritas Events culture. Always smiling, considerate, can't do enough for you. They are all of this and more. I'm that impressed and I rarely write google reviews. I've just come back from an event Hobart and I just said, 'how lucky were we to work with Coal River Coaches'. Looking for a quality coach company in Tasmania - lucky you! You have found them. Stop looking."

"It was a pleasure working with Coal River Coaches for a recent group event in Hobart. All went to plan, the group coach transfers were easy to book, all coaches arrived on time, there was plenty of contact made prior to booking each service. All the drivers were great and coaches were clean and in good condition. Will use this company for further coach hire when next in Hobart"

"Just returned from 3 day tour with Coal River Coaches to Queenstown and Strahan. Really well organised tour, loved David our so obliging and excellent driver. Our Gordon River Cruise on the Lady Jane was a truly wonderful day and likewise ABT Railway from Strahan to Queenstown. The Wilderness experience was wonderful, can't wait to go on another trip with them! Accommodation at Country Comfort Queenstown was another big plus and great food!"

"We hired an 11-seater van with a trailer to get us to and from our wedding in Cradle Mountain. Everyone we dealt with at Coal River Coaches was super friendly and helpful, especially the guy who dropped the van off for us, even though our flight was delayed!"
