Round here, things aren’t like they are on the mainland.
They’re not even like the rest of Tasmania. This is a different place. You’ll encounter the raw, the untouched, the untamed.
You’ll come face-to-face with the powerful, eternally, undeniably wild. As it always has been.
All it takes is a short trip. Just outside your comfort zone.
Plan Your Trip
Discover the West Coast - things to do, see and experience - and immerse yourself in one of the most beautiful and remote places in the world.
You might never want to leave....
