Travel to Tasmania (and around it)Travel to Tasmania is an adventure in itself. You can choose to fly or to use one of the very few passenger ships that operate in Australia and sail to the island on the "Spirit of Tasmania". Either way has its advantages. Flying gets you there quickly from anywhere in Australia, and you can choose to fly into Devonport, Launceston or Hobart. Choosing to take the cruise over to Tasmania on the "Spirit of Tasmania" is a little slower. It runs both a day service and overnight passages with a range of accomodation options from deluxe cabins to a cruise seat. Once you're in Tassie, it's a fairly good idea to rent a car or book a tour bus, as the public transport system is not as great as other places which have larger populations. Below are a few options to get there and get around: Getting there:
