Experiences Shaped by the Wild

LAUNCHING FROM MARCH 2026 (IN PHASES)

Experiences at Risby Cove are designed to connect you more deeply with Tasmania’s wild West Coast: its landscapes, stories, flavours and enduring spirit. From moments of stillness by the harbour to immersive journeys through rainforest, rivers, historic mines and remote coastal wilderness, each experience is shaped by place and season.

Experiences at Risby Cove are offered across four distinct categories:

  • Inclusive — Complimentary experiences shared with fellow guests, included with your stay.

  • Signature — Curated, scheduled experiences delivered by expert partners, with thoughtful Risby Cove touches.

  • Exclusive — Private, bespoke experiences tailored to you and arranged on request.

  • Self-Guided — Independent exploration with access to bikes, e-bikes, kayaks, fishing gear and more, included with your stay.
