Get in

By Plane

Tasmania is served by several national or regional airlines, flying into Hobart, Launceston, Devonport and Burnie (Wynyard).

By Ferry

Tasmania is served by several boats from mainland Australia, departing from Sydney and Melbourne. These boats arrive at Devonport.

• Spirit of Tasmania Ferries [1]

The ferries are massive, take many passengers on each trip and many, many vehicles. Reserve a stateroom for this overnight (and sometimes rocky but well appointed trip) well in advance and ensure you understand the import regulations (bringing in food, seeds, animals, etc.). The trip is very comfortable although food and activity on board is only adequate. After all, it is transport.
