About Tasmania Untouched

We are more than just a tour company; we are a collective of passionate conservationists, expert guides, and nature lovers dedicated to showcasing and protecting the wild, untamed beauty of Tasmania. Our journey began with a simple belief: that immersive, respectful encounters with nature can inspire a lifelong commitment to its preservation.

Our Story

Tasmania Untouched was born from a shared love for this incredible island. Our founders, having spent decades exploring its rugged mountains, ancient rainforests, and dramatic coastlines, felt a calling to share its wonders with the world in a way that was both profound and responsible. They saw an opportunity to move beyond conventional tourism and create experiences that forge deep connections between people and the environment. We started with a handful of small, guided treks, focusing on interpreting the landscape's rich ecological and historical narratives. Today, while we've grown, our core principle remains unchanged: to offer authentic adventures that celebrate Tasmania's wilderness and contribute directly to its conservation.

Our Mission

Our mission is to be a leading force in sustainable eco-tourism, championing a model where exploration and conservation are intrinsically linked. We are committed to delivering exceptional, educational, and safe wilderness experiences that not only showcase Tasmania's natural treasures but also actively support their long-term protection. We strive to operate with the smallest possible environmental footprint, support local communities by sourcing locally and employing Tasmanian talent, and dedicate a portion of our proceeds to critical conservation projects across the island. Through our tours, we aim to cultivate a global community of ambassadors for Tasmania's unique and fragile ecosystems.
