Tasmania sits below Australia on an island all its own. While it is not a honeymoon beach destination, there are amazing beaches on the Frecinet peninsula, as well as exceptional wine and food. The half moon shape of Wineglass Bay is ranked as one of the world's best beaches. Across Mercury Passage lay floating islands with beaches, cliffs and mountains to explore. The Tasmanian Devil is native to this island and there are other special species of wildlife to indulge animal lovers. Hobart offers such wonderful options as the Salamanca Market and many museums. Of course, the food is, again, a highlight. This is the ideal base for travel to Mount Nelson or Mount Wellington, harbor cruise, a trip to Richmond with its convict past, and the Coal River Valley for wine and vineyards, to name a few.

Cradle Mountain and Lake St. Clair, with pretty beaches and coves, are part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. Mt. Ossa, the highest mountain on this island, is in this park. There are many short walks on the shores and mountainside to open your eyes to the ever changing flora and unique species of Tasmania. You may glimpse a platypus, wombat or echidna as you go from the cascading rivers into the rainforest on the Enchanted Walk. Nature has carved such beauty in this area.

Launceston offers the calm of the Tamar River and Tamar Island is a paradise for birds. The wetlands offer them their own habitat. Notley Gorge is a dense rainforest with waterfalls and deep fern glades. You can take a boat trip to view an Australian fur seal colony or see the little penguins nesting in the coastal scrub at Low Head.
This small island is diverse and unique, offering a very special honeymoon experience. You can add activities such as kayaking with dolphins, abseiling, floating down a river or just enjoying the beauty, people, food and wine. This is a very special honeymoon destination!
