"The off-peak winter season is the best time to travel around the
state, it also has the advantage of being particularly uncrowded
which makes it so easy to unwind," said Charles Griplas, CEO of
Spirit of Tasmania.
Passengers can get cosy in the on board cinema which screens two
complimentary movies during each voyage or enjoy a drink in an
array of bars with spectacular views. Dining options include an a
la carte restaurant serving fresh Tasmanian produce or a buffet

Take the Tahune Airwalk which rises 48 metres above the ground and

world above the forest floor. The area is also well known for four
wheel driving, bushwalking and fishing - perfect activities for
winter.
