Travel Experts Reveal ‘Hidden Gem Destinations’
| Travel experts have unveiled a curated list of ‘Hidden Gem Destinations,’ spotlighting places where travellers can escape the crowds and immerse themselves in authentic local culture. Among the 13 destinations revealed by Travel + Leisure’s A-list advisors are Tasmania’s remote Southwest wilderness and exclusive Onboard Odalisque III luxury expeditions. These lesser-known treasures offer unique experiences that blend natural beauty with cultural richness, providing travellers with rare opportunities to discover untouched landscapes and engage deeply with local traditions. Embark on an exclusive journey in 2024 through the untouched corners of Tasmania’s World Heritage-listed wilderness aboard the Odalisque III, a purpose-built boutique vessel designed for an intimate experience with only twelve guests across seven cabins. Launched in 2023 by On Board, this expedition catamaran offers unparalleled access to remote wilderness areas, where daily adventures include guided walks and boat excursions tailored to guests’ interests. Led by expert local guides, renowned for their deep ecological knowledge and environmental expertise, each itinerary is meticulously crafted to immerse travellers in the rugged beauty and rich biodiversity of Tasmania’s most pristine landscapes. “In 2023, the introduction of Odalisque III, a luxurious, expedition-style cruising experience, began providing visitors a privileged opportunity to explore breathtaking scenery and dramatic landscapes shared by 12 guests on board,” top travel advisor Stuart Riggs explains.
