About Us
'Tasmanian Odyssey was the result of twenty year long passion. Here I have had the most magical times imaginable, life-changing experiences made possible by extraordinary people, accidental eco-warriors and true conservationists who have inadvertently found themselves become dream-makers. I am privileged to count these people as my friends and to share them with our guests.'

About Our Founder
My love affair with Tasmania started one typically (as I was to discover) brilliant, blindingly blue–sky August day in 1998.
I left London on the first really good day of the inevitably disappointing UK summer for the darkest of winter months on the other side of the world.
I was already a well-travelled travel professional having been lucky enough to spend most of my twenties experiencing far-flung horizons all in the name of work, and Tasmania was to be the latest addition to my bucket list; however despite my burning curiosity for what lay ahead, I have to confess to a certain amount of trepidation about exploring this little known land.
Jumping ahead to the present day, over two decades and innumerable trips later, Tassie continues to enchant and enthrall me as much as it did in the early days, and nothing gives me greater pleasure than giving others the chance to find out why.
Your Trip Makes A Difference
We are passionate about ensuring that our business contributes directly to the conservation of Tasmania through our every day actions as well as our annual donation to The Tasmanian Land Conservancy (TLC).
The TLC aims to protect areas of high conservation values for species which are not adequately protected, and thanks to our guests' support, Tasmanian Odyssey plays an import role in conserving Tassie's natural beauty and wildlife.
Tasmania – one of our last great wilderness frontiers, a thriving life raft for animals and plants, many found nowhere else on earth. It is quite literally the land that got away. Vast swathes are impenetrable, much of it only accessible or known to a few local guides and experts who have roamed it since childhood.
