Tassie in Bloom: Seasonal Things to See and Do 

Spring in Tasmania brings mild days, longer evenings, and a burst of vibrant wildflowers. With daytime highs of 10–17 degrees, it’s the perfect season for outdoor exploration. Think blue skies, clear starry nights, and buzzing festivals across the island. 

Wildflowers & Wildlife 

Tasmania in spring blooms with colour. Highlights include the Emu Valley Rhododendron Garden, Table Cape Tulip Farm, and the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens—home to more than 6,500 plants across 14 impressive hectares. Among the season’s festivals, the Wynyard Tulip Festival is a standout, offering free entertainment, delicious food, vibrant displays, and lively experiences in Tasmania’s north. 

Spring is also a fantastic time for wildlife spotting. At Cradle Mountain, look out for wombats, Tasmanian devils, quolls, platypus and echidnas. On Maria Island, young marsupials emerge from pouches and dens, while Bennett’s wallabies, pademelons, wombats and Forester kangaroos roam the landscape. 

Gourmet Getaways 

From Launceston to Hobart, and Bruny Island to Huon Valley, Tasmania is a gourmet paradise of cheese, chocolate, wine, cider, oysters and more. Three foodie highlights not to miss this Spring are the Huon Valley, Bruny Island, and the Cradle to Coast Tasting Trail. 

In the Huon Valley, sip crisp local ciders and wines among rolling green hills and vineyards. On Bruny Island, indulge in artisanal cheeses, local honey, world-famous oysters, and sweet treats like fudge and chocolate. The Cradle to Coast Tasting Trail, stretching through Tasmania’s lush north-west, is a self-guided journey of farm gates, cellar doors and artisan producers—perfect for sampling everything from berries and seafood to whiskey and cheese. 

Each of these regions also boasts stunning drives, breathtaking scenery, and endless opportunities to explore. 

Food and wine lovers should also time their visit with the Great Eastern Wine Week along Tasmania’s east coast—a true highlight of the spring calendar.
