Creator's Key Takeaways

We were both surprised at how big it was.

I was actually seriously impressed, surprised and impressed by how easy and comfortable Spirit of Tasmania was.

So, our first few days in around Cradle Mountain were 10 out of 10.

The views, however, both at the summit looking over Wine Glass Bay and then from Wine Glass Bay Beach itself were stunning.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book the Spirit of Tasmania deluxe cabin for a comfortable overnight crossing.
โœ“Request site 138 at Big Four Tazzy Getaway Holiday Park for the luxurious amenities.
โœ“Do the full day cruise with Pennicott Wilderness Journeys for the food and views.
โœ“Bring your own food and water to Maria Island as there are no shops or cafes.

Cabin size on ferries โ€” The Spirit of Tasmania deluxe cabin is surprisingly spacious, often larger than cruise ship cabins.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

In this episode, we start our three-and-a-half-week lap of Tasmania in a motorhome. We start at Cradle Mountain, visit the Tamar Valley known for its internationally awarded sparkling wines, explore Freycinet Peninsula and the Bay of Fires before moving onto Maria Island, famous for its convict history. This trip was self-funded but we thank Tourism Tasmania for their assistance with some activities. Thanks also to Tasmania Parks & Wildlife and Pennicott Adventures (Wineglass Bay Cruise) for hosting us. #tasmania #travel #Australia #tamarvalley #cradlemountain #hikingadventures #vanlife @big4sthelensholidaypark @DiscoverTasmania @spiritoftassie @parkstasmania7160
