Packing list for Your Tasmanian & Sydney Tours

Updated: Jan 22



February is summer in Australia, and you can expect mostly warm to hot weather — around 20–30°C (68–86°F) in Sydney. Tasmania is usually a little cooler, ranging from 12–24°C (54–75°F), and is famous for its “four seasons in a day.” It’s best to bring layers and be prepared for sunshine, cool evenings, and the occasional shower. You’ll want clothing and shoes that are comfortable for travel and outdoor exploring, along with something a little dressier for our fine dining experiences. Australians generally have a relaxed, casual attitude toward dressing up for dinner, so think smart-casual rather than formal.


Clothing

  • Lightweight summer outfits (tops, shorts, skirts, dresses, trousers)

  • Layers for cooler evenings in Tasmania (jumper, cardigan, or fleece)

  • Smart-casual outfits for our gourmet dining experiences

  • Comfortable walking/hiking clothes (quick-dry, breathable fabrics are ideal)

  • Comfortable travel outfit for coach days

  • Light jacket or windbreaker

  • Rain jacket

  • Swimwear

  • Sunhat or cap


Footwear

  • Supportive walking shoes or lightweight hiking boots

  • Casual shoes or sandals for everyday wear

  • Dress shoes or nicer sandals for evenings out


Accessories & Essentials

  • Small daypack for outings and hikes

  • Reusable water bottle

  • Sunglasses

  • Sunscreen

  • Insect repellent

  • Light scarf or wrap (for sun or an extra layer)

  • Glasses/contact lenses (if needed)

  • Lightweight travel towel


Toiletries & Health

  • Personal toiletries (our hotels provide shampoo, conditioner and body wash)

  • Any prescription medications (including a copy of your prescription)

  • Basic first-aid items (band-aids, blister pads, personal pain relief)

  • Travel-sized hand sanitiser

  • A small quick-dry travel towel


Travel

  • Passport and travel documents (including proof of travel insurance)

  • Camera

  • Smartphone with charger

  • Computer with charger

  • Airpods or earphones (essential for some of our experiences)

  • Power adapters – Australia uses Type I plugs, 230V


Optional Extras

  • Binoculars

  • Reusable shopping bag for markets and shops

  • A compact umbrella

  • Hiking sticks

  • Reusable coffee cup

  • Overnight bag for short excursions where we'll be staying overnight for one or two nights. This is not essential, as there will be room for your luggage but just makes it a bit easier for you manage for short stays.


And don’t worry if you forget anything, both Hobart and Sydney have plenty of shops where you can pick up essentials along the way.
