Great Eastern Drive - Bay of Fires: Around St Helens, TAS

The Great Eastern Drive is a well-signposted drive journey that covers a network of roads in the region, perfect for planning and road-tripping. Stretching 221km along spectacular coastline from Buckland to the Bay of Fires region.

Paddle, pedal or just pause – the Bay of Fires demands full immersion.
Pedal rather than paddle through the waters on a Hobie pedal-powered kayak trip with Secret River Tours in Georges Bay, Ansons Bay or the Scamander River. Fishing trips from the kayaks are also available.

Lunch on locally caught, sustainably sourced seafood at the floating Skippers Fish Shop on St Helens’ waterfront. Dine in or grab takeaway for a beach picnic.

Step into the world of anacondas, pythons, Indian star tortoises and other exotic, captive-bred creatures at Serpentarium Wildlife Park, home also to natural gem displays.

Unwind with your libation of choice at family-owned brewery, vineyard and distillery Ironhouse Tasmania. Retire nearby to a self-contained villa at White Sands Estate – take advantage of the property’s swimming pool, canoe lake, tennis courts and cinema.
