Best Times to Visit<\/h3>

Tasmania has four distinct seasons. For many visitors, seasonal experiences are one of the main reasons to visit.<\/p>

Summer is beach holiday time – It’s the busiest time of the year so book well in advance to secure accommodation in the most popular areas. Many families head to the coastal regions to make the most of sun, surf and sand or inland regions to explore walking trails and cool off in waterfalls and rivers. The weather is moderate with top temperatures ranging from 17-23 degrees celsius.<\/p>

Autumn is one of the best touring and walking seasons with calm sunny days, cool crisp evenings and lots of autumn colours thanks to the early settlers’ love of European trees.\u00a0<\/p>

Winter is the time to relax indoors by a log fire, indulge in beachfront winter storm watching or visit pristine alpine national parks. Winter temperatures top 3-11 degrees and snow is plentiful on elevated peaks such as Cradle Mountain and Mount Roland with the occasional ground cover down to 400 metres above sea level.<\/p>

Spring welcomes the return of longer, warmer days accompanied by fresh cool nights. It’s the season of blooming gardens in the grounds of renowned historic houses and the explosion of trout and other fish in highland rivers and lakes.<\/p>
