Tasmania Travel & TransportAs an alternative to flying, consider the Spirit of Tasmania passenger and car ferry that operates between Devonport and the mainland city of Melbourne. Cars can also be freighted separately from the mainland. Regular air services operate between the mainland and Hobart and Launceston. Local flights between towns are available but tourists will best appreciate this state from ground level. A good network of sealed roads cover the state with the exception of the rugged south west. The latter is an area of adventure expeditions and river tours which involve specialised transport and access arranged by tour providers. There are no passenger train services throughout Tasmania. Several bus transport companies operate throughout the state. The major vehicle hire companies are represented in all the major cities and towns throughout Tasmania. If you are flying in at Hobart to start your visit, consider picking up a Hobart rental car at the airport and save on airport shuttle costs. |
