Travelmarvel is launching its six Tasmania tours for the 2011-2012 season with a saving of up to $300 per couple for early bookings on select tours.
This popular program remains much the same as the current season because it is a proven product as an alternative to luxury touring offered by parent company APT, according to Debra Fox, General Manager Marketing for APT.
The brand is excellent value for money, she said, offering personalised touring, and the opportunity for clients to tailor-make their own holiday with flexible options like dinner, bed and breakfast or just bed and breakfast, as well as generous free time.
The program includes comfortable centrally-located hotels with all the creature comforts and picturesque surrounds, as well as the “must see” attractions, such as the Gordon River cruise, Strahan, Port Arthur site, Freycinet National Park, Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park, East Coast Natureworld, Ashgrove Cheese factory as well as Hobart and Launceston.
The tours range from the five-day Western Wonder (from $1595 per person twin share) to the 11-day Tasman Spectacular (from $2960).
Lead-in tour is the 10-day Grand Tasman, priced from $2725 (or from $2575 if booked early – a saving of $150 per person) which includes luxury coach touring, cruises, 9 night accommodation, daily breakfast, all the must-see sights on a Launceston-Launceston itinerary, airport transfers, experienced tour director and driver.
Highlights include getting to know fellow travellers and crew at Welcome Drinks, Beauty Point, Seahorse World, Beaconsfield, Tasmanian Devils at East Coast Natureworld, Freycinet National Park and guided walk along Richardson’s Beach, historic Campbell Town, Ross and the Georgian village of Richmond, convict history at Port Arthur, cruise to the Isle of the Dead, a nature walk to cascading Russell Falls in Mt Field National Park, cruise Macquarie Harbour and the Gordon River to Sarah Island, overnight stay at the luxurious Cradle Mountain Chateau, see Dove Lake, Stanley and The Nut, sample some fine cheeses at Ashgrove Cheese Factory, Cataract Gorge, cruise Tamar River with farewell drinks and dinner at the conclusion of the tour.
