Cast off to an island where peak-hour traffic is a line of little penguins emerging from the sea. Our walk on Maria Island is a rare opportunity to take a break from everyday life. We amble along pristine beaches, hike through blue-gum forests, and climb Mt Maria for breathtaking views of the whole island and Tasmania's Eastern coastline. We stay in private wilderness camps where our guides prepare gourmet meals, served with a selection of delicious Tasmanian wines. After four days of relaxation on this beautiful secluded island you'll be ready to attack the "real world" again.
