Spirit of Tasmania Foot Passengers Discover a Car-Free Way to Explore Tasmania

For travellers arriving in Tasmania as Spirit of Tasmania foot passengers, Devonport is emerging as a natural starting point for exploring the state without a car.

With the Spirit of Tasmania docking directly in Devonport, visitors can step ashore and connect easily with day tours, scenic transfers, and multi-day touring options across northern and western Tasmania. This growing range of services is making it easier for travellers to experience Tasmania’s landscapes, wildlife, and regional towns without the need to bring or hire a vehicle.

From Devonport, travellers can access popular destinations such as Cradle Mountain, Stanley, Penguin, Burnie, and the Tarkine, as well as national parks, walking tracks, and regional accommodation. Options range from short half-day outings to fully guided multi-day journeys that showcase Tasmania’s natural and cultural highlights.

The shift reflects a broader trend toward car-free travel, particularly among walkers, cruise passengers, international visitors, and travellers seeking more sustainable ways to explore. Coordinated schedules, luggage transfers, and guided experiences are helping foot passengers move beyond the port and into Tasmania’s regions with ease.

As demand grows, Devonport is increasingly seen not just as a port of arrival, but as a genuine gateway — offering travellers a flexible, relaxed, and connected way to explore Tasmania straight from the Spirit of Tasmania.
