A select PCWA tour team with the support of Quartermaine Travel, has prepared the Tour of Tasmania 2022 exclusively for the Porsche Club of Western Australia members. 

Like the tours of the past, we have considered both the driver and the passenger by ensuring great driving roads and great scenery along with beautiful destinations and hotels.

This is a tour that combines adventure with comfort, times when there is just you and the road and times of great comradery and friendship.  Tasmania has some of the most beautiful driving roads in the world and we have chosen some of the best of these roads to explore. 

Our past tours of Europe and Tasmania have proven to be “tours-of-a-lifetime”, you know the ones you just love to remember and in the case of PCWA members, talk about for years to come. 

For those who love driving their car, have adventure in their heart and have been couped up for the past 2 years then it is time to wind down the windows and fly.
