People who are fond of extreme sports and other adrenalin-pumping activities will enjoy Tasmania. Activities like rafting, jet boating, diving, horse riding, sea kayaking, climbing/abseiling and cable hang gliding are available to keep a person on the edge and in high spirits. Rafting can be done on a number of rivers in Tasmania including the Derwent River, Arthur River, Picton River and Franklin River. A special mention needs to be made about white water rafting on the Franklin River as it is a fabulous multi-day adventure spot. A minimum of 10 days can be taken to complete a full trip along the Franklin. On this trip adventurers will come across the fantastic rapids of the Great Ravine. Tourists interested in a one-day rafting adventure from Hobart, can do this at Picton River.

If horse riding is your love, there are lots of riding opportunities for the Tasman Peninsula, Central Highlands, Strahan, Ben Lomond and Coles Bay. Sea kayaking is another activity that is extremely popular in Tasmania and kayak availability can be found in Strahan, Hobart, Freycinet, Bathurst Harbour and Bruny Island to name a few. The Tasmania Visitors Bureau also details the adventure sports like abseiling/climbing, caving, and cycling/mountain biking. Tourists who are looking for an abseiling/climbing experience in their holidays should check out the guided trips in locations like Tasman Peninsula, Coles Bay, Cataract Gorge (Launceston) and Ben Lomond. For avid cyclers, bikes are available for hire to cycle around Hobart. Bikers can also trek through the mountains and the national forests of Tasmania.

Many visitors may not be keen on adventure sports so they could look at fishing and cruising opportunities. Cruising provides a great, relaxing experience for visitors and is an enjoyable way of exploring the wonderful rivers and harbours of Tasmania. Gordon River Cruises is one of the most popular tours on the island. A holiday to Tasmania is incomplete without a captivating sail on the beautiful Gordon River. For visiting heritage locations and finding the best fishing opportunities, visitors are advised to travel to the West Coast of Tasmania.
