Best Time for the Tasmania Loop
Sweet spot: April, October, May — computed from NASA POWER climate normals across the route's overnight towns, balancing temperature, rainfall and daylight.
Tassie summer: Wineglass Bay swimmable, Cradle's Dove Lake circuit at its friendliest — book MONA and campsites ahead.
Cold, moody, and beautiful — snow on Cradle, log fires in Hobart, and the Dark Mofo festival's bonfires in June.
