Corporate Action Activities

Picture
Tasmania has everything you need to make your conference or seminar an outstanding success, including accommodation to suit all budgets, sophisticated meeting venues, friendly service, a wide range of excellent activities and off-peak financial incentives.  It boasts the convenience of excellent sea and air services from the mainland, yet its environment is unique. Hobart and Launceston are vibrant population centres with facilities as good as, or better than, those offered by any of the world's best small cities.
 
With Aardvark Adventures' long standing association with corporate Australia, we can offer a range of activities geared to enhance bottom line outcomes, promote team spirit, facilitate distraction-free meetings, and inspire you and your personnel. We can run a range of activities throughout the day, from 'ice-breaker' warm-ups, to 'energiser' activities designed to refresh conference-goer's minds and bodies. We can also provide a range of pre- and post-conference options, from extreme activities such as abseiling and caving, through to tours of historical areas of Tasmania and local wineries.

We will get you to the best places quickly to maximise your fishing and wilderness experience time. East Coast Wilderness & Fishing Adventures also available.

No roads, no houses, nothing but pristine clean and green wilderness and some of the most jaw dropping spectacular coastal cliffs and bays in the world. Port Davey and Bathurst Harbour are untouched and combined are two and a half times bigger than Sydney Harbour. There are a multitude of rivers to explore with beautiful gorges and rare Huon Pine trees not to be seen anywhere else on the planet..

Read about Wellington Park

Stroll through cool forested gullies along the historic Pipeline Track, or traverse Wellington Range in the saddle (on horse or mountain bike). Four wheel drive along rough mountain trails, climb leaning dolerite towers or sit quietly among the birds.

While essentially a secluded natural environment, there are plenty of activities for visitors to the Park to enjoy. For the less active there are grand vistas and pleasant places to enjoy a cut lunch or picnic.
 
After a cold southerly, visitors might enjoy the delights of snowplay on the Mountain. Snowfalls can occur in the Park in any season but changeable weather and the proximity to the sea make persistent snow cover a rarity. Pinnacle Road, however, may be temporarily closed at any time of year due to icy conditions or snow. Visitors should check the Pinnacle Road Information Line (6278 0200) or visit the HCC website for more information on road closures.
 
Also, check out the current weather forecast for the Mountain - it may help you decide what is the best activity for you, and how much gear you will need.
