2023: The adventure continues

From concept to action, running The Derwent Experience has been Fun. Challenging. Rewarding.

I do count myself fortunate that I am able to play a small part in bringing excitement and delights to many people as they relax with friends and family or explore with precious time away from their “every day.”

In 2023 we will strive to consistently deliver a wonderful experience every single time.

We will meet all of our regulatory requirements, learn and expand.

In late 2022, The Derwent Experience applied for and was accredited with the Tourism Industry Council Tasmania (and by extension, of Australia.) We are very proud of this.

Our Tasting Tour, with the effervescent title of “Drink Tasmania Up! Taste over 30 drinks plus cheese!” will continue to showcase the very best of Tasmania’s “Adult Drinks” Makers - Variety. Quantity and Quality, all in a well-balanced, delicious, engaging, low kilometer, beautiful country drive from Hobart.

Cradle Mountain from Hobart will continue to be a weekly day trip throughout the changing seasons of 2023. This brilliant day trip is hands down the best way to maximise your time and experience such a majestic natural wonder from Hobart. If you are fortunate enough to join one of our Cradle Day Trips, you will find the effort v reward ratio is strongly in favour of the latter.

Two funtastic experiences running every week is not where our service ends.

Private charter and curated itineraries? Yes!

Meadowbank MTB? Yes! watch this space - we are looking forward to helping with operations and seeing this develop into a premier and premium attraction for Tasmania’s celebrated Activities.

Multi-day small group premium “day hiking” experiences are ready to go and will take off in 2023.

Collaboration with The Agrarian Kitchen Eatery for “Tasmanian Taste Sensations” special food orientated experiences will be further developed.

Continuing to be a trusted Supplier for Agents as they seek the very best for their clients will also be a key focus this year and beyond.

And while this Enterprise lives and breathes, my greatest work - my Family, will continue to be my guiding star and my Why? every day. In 2023, our children are 9 and 10. Time with them and being their Dad is simply the best.

We wish you all the best for the year ahead, and look forward to working with you, or seeing you on a Derwent Experience.

The Derwent Valley in Autumn is just one great Derwent Experience
