    Launceston is a smallish town with a big garden of nature’s best offerings encircling it. Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park with its ancient rainforests and alpine heaths to the west is a must go, the mythically-named Bay of Fires on the eastern coastline beckons with its otherworldly scene, Cataract Gorge Reserve, a 15-minute walk from central Launceston, is one of the rarest nature phenomenon in the world located so near to a city centre, and there’s always the verdant vineyards of Tamar Valley with great wines calling out kindred souls for an indulgent sojourn. And all of these can be explored from the charming city centre complete with elegant architecture, beautiful parks and a culinary scene that punches way above its weight. If your idea of a relaxing escapade is to discover nature’s best offerings in an unhurried pace with less of the crowds, a customised Launceston tour package from Chan Brothers Travel Private will place you right in Tasmania’s northern surrounds, where you will surely belong in good company.

    Gorge yourself on Cataract

    Launceston’s city centre is far from the urban cries of a bustling metropolis, but what is extra special is there is an even quieter oasis just a short wander away. Magnificent Cataract Gorge with its bushland, cliffs and the soothing South Esk River feel a million miles away from anything, even though it is just next to the city. Two walking tracks of different level of difficulty attract locals to explore the gorgeous gorge strolling through huge European trees and rolling lawns. Go during the late afternoon for a sunset experience, and stay on through the evening when the whole area is impressively lit at night. You may even spot a wallaby or two at dusk.

    Zip through the night forest

    Light up your night through a zipline tour with the popular Hollybank Treetops Adventure. With only your helmet’s lamp leading the way as you fly over the trees in the historic Hollybank Forest with the stars high above you and the illuminated river below lending their glow, this exhilarating adventure will transport you to a whole other world. Covering 730 metres with a whopping top speed of up to 60 kilometres an hour, this is about as close to flying without wings as you can possibly get. You may even be able to spot nocturnal forest animals going about their rounds if you are lucky.

    Wind down with wine

    Wine lovers rejoice! Tamar Valley boasts the best of Tasmania’s cool climate wines and there’s no better way to indulge in the tipple than with a personalised and intimate wine tour. Embark on a vineyard hop through the Tamar Valley Wine Route visiting boutique wineries and the professional wine makers, appreciate the wonderful wines and cheeses, and savour a delectable lunch and revel in the beautiful picturesque environment. Whether your poison of choice is a Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris or Pinot Noir, or even best if you are an equal-opportunity lover, you are bound for a fun and indulgent day out.
