Tall Timbers 4WD Adventure Tours offer you the opportunity to enter the Tarkine in search of one of Australia’s most iconic creatures, the Thylacine or Tasmanian Tiger. Although officially declared extinct in 1936 unconfirmed sightings continue across Australia, with the most reliable of these coming from the Arthur River and Tarkine regions in Tasmania’s stunning North West. This beautiful yet rugged and often impenetrable rainforest is also home to wallabies, wombats and the enigmatic and endangered Tasmanian Devil. Tall Timbers Adventure Tours will take you on a journey deep into the heart of ’Tiger Country’. From the comfort and safety of our luxury 4 wheel drive, your experienced guide will show you the Thylacine’s last known hiding spots and re-tell the tales from those who have been fortunate enough to have witnessed a Tassie Tiger in their lifetime. So whether or not you unearth the mystery of the Tasmanian Tiger, you are in for an amazing day in this unique and pristine environment, exploring wild coastlines, ancient forests and enjoying local produce and breathtaking scenery.
