Best time to visit
The best time for trekking and exploring Australia and Tasmania is during the Australian fall and spring months (March to May and September to November).
The weather is pleasant during this time and nature is in full bloom.
For Tasmania, it’s a different story: The best time to visit Tasmania is usually during the Australian summer, which lasts from December to February. During these months you will experience pleasant temperatures, averaging between 17 and 23 degrees Celsius. The summer months are great for outdoor activities such as hiking, exploring the national parks and enjoying the picturesque coastal landscapes.
However, it is important to note that the weather in Tasmania can be quite changeable, regardless of the time of year. Even in summer, you may encounter cooler temperatures and occasional rain showers. If you’re planning outdoor activities, be prepared to dress in layers and bring weatherproof gear.
If you want to avoid crowds, spring (September to November) could be a good alternative. The weather is often still pleasant and nature comes to life with blooming flowers and green landscapes.
Overall, Tasmania offers fascinating opportunities to visit all year round!
