Groups Tasmania is happy to offer a range of quality optionals to ensure you take home many memorable experiences from your tour. We understand that these activities may not appeal to each individual so we have therefore allowed free time for you to enjoy these experiences. These have not been included in the tour cost and include scenic flights, penguin tours and rail journeys. To book any of these optional activities simply nominate them at the time of booking or advise Groups Tasmania at anytime in the lead up to the commencement of your tour as reservations are often necessary.

Bicheno Penguin Tour $20.00 Adult
Bicheno Penguin Tours takes you to see fairy penguins at dusk on Tasmania’s east coast. The nightly evening tours offer a rare and thrilling chance to visit a private rookery. You can watch the fairy penguins (also known as the little penguin) emerge from the ocean and head for their homes. Established by Bicheno locals to protect the penguin population, the tour lets you get close to the penguins without disturbing their nightly journey.

West Coast Wilderness Railway $111.00 Adult
Now one of Tasmania’s premier attractions, this restored 1896 rack and pinion railway will travel through one of the world’s last pristine wilderness areas, crossing 40 bridges and wild rivers. This 35km journey from Queenstown to Strahan will pass through historic settlements and abandoned camps as well as over 200m up the 1:16 rack gradient.

Important Note: These activities are operated by an independent third party supplier and not Groups Tasmania.
