1. Begin Your Journey in Hobart
Kickstart your road trip in Hobart, the vibrant capital of Tasmania.

Continue your journey up the coast to the charming town of Bicheno. This coastal gem offers a perfect blend of natural wonders and relaxed seaside vibes. Discover the iconic Bicheno Blowhole, a natural spectacle where waves crash into a fissure, sending water soaring into the air. Take a dip in the crystal-clear waters of Waubs Bay or embark on a wildlife adventure to spot penguins, seals, and dolphins. Bicheno is also home to some of our remarkable Younique Stays properties, providing a cozy and comfortable base for your adventures.
