Travel with a Cause, Best Travel Agency in Hobart Award 2018- 2023. Experience you can trust. The Australian Not-For-Profit Travel Agency with a BIG Heart, Fully accredited international and domestic Agency, Spirit of Tasmania ticket, Volunteer holidays. Support #SustainableTourism
Travel With A Cause (TWAC), the not-for-profit charitable travel agency located in the heart of Hobart, Tasmania. It dedicates itself in providing personalised sustainable tours of this beautiful island which it has been doing for the past two decades.
One aspect to TWAC's recognition as the world's most sustainable tourism operator is our attitude to ESG, Environmental, Social and Governance, which encompasses all non-financial topics that are not typically captured by traditional financial reporting. We are proud to address and activate these UN-defined qualities in our company from our board down with a dedicated and independent sustainability director as part of our governance structure. This supplements the financial, charitable, industry and commercial talent on our board. This structure is recognised by such organisations as Korn Ferry, PwC and Deloittes as increasingly important for exploring the relationship between management and risk. The result has also been seen in our recognition 5 years in a row now as Hobart's number one travel agency.
Through years of charitable work, TWAC managed to save thousands of acres of reef and rainforest in Fiji; gave out computers to schools in developing countries like Zambia; purchasing mosquito nets and Lifestraws to send with our clients travelling to developing countries to keep them safe whilst there. On our latest project, partnered with UNESCO and National Geographic along with 30+ organizations worldwide, initiating the Constructive Vision movement aims to educate young generation towards a more sustainable future.
TWAC offers wide range of travel products covers both domestic and international travel. Whether you are travelling alone or with groups, our friendly and experienced consultants will provide you with exceptional travel advice and the best deals to ensure you are having a pleasant and meaningful experience.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful staff, will return again
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with TWAC as i had joined many volunteer tours with them. The staff is very experience in their own field. Highly recommended!!!!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. I have join many tours with them. Staff is very friendly. Thanks
Negative experience: We purchased out Spirit of Tasmania tickets happy that it was also helping a charity through TWAC. We then had to cancel our original booking due to COVID restrictions in 2020. All our travelling companions who booked direct with Spirit got full refunds. We were only able to rebook 6 months ahead as Spirit were only opening them that much in advance. We then had to move them again to a usable date. We have now been told the ticket has expired. Spirit will still honour the ticket but TWAC won’t. We now have to purchase new return tickets for car, caravan and cabin at $1,100. Next time we will just donate to a charity ourselves, (get a tax deductible receipt) and book direct with Spirit of Tasmania and manage the booking ourselves. We would also be able to get a refund should it be necessary. TWAC charity does not extend to customers.
Travel agents are doing it tough and our conditions differ to our suppliers and are fully disclosed on booking and attached to emails. This ticket has been kept alive since Feb 2020 and now in Oct 2021 it has reached it's limit. Grants are the only donations we are receiving and we do issue tax deductible receipts if anyone wants to help out! 70% of our travel industry colleagues have closed their doors ;(
Negative experience: Honestly, if you want to book anything related to travel especially Spirit of Tasmania, check the official website first. This agency’s price only cheaper a LITTLE than the Spirit of Tasmania, but it will cause a BIG headache to you because of some unreasonable non-refundable conditions and insurance policies.
Hi Richard, If you were our client you would show a bit more respect for us and how we are a surviving travel agent in this pandemic. All our terms and conditions are advised to our clients of which you don't appear to be one. All the best in your future travels. The team @ TWAC, the best travel agency in Hobart 4 years running.
Negative experience: I booked a return trip to Tasmania for 4 adults including overnight cabin and motor vechicle on the Spirit of Tasmania early 2020. Considering Co-Vid had raised its ugly head we decided to take-out suitable insurance and were advised by TWAC of a particular policy that covered us for all events. This was totally untrue as we were later informed a covid-19 event including government restrictions " does not overide our T&Cs as this is considerd a force majeure event. " WHY SELL US 4 INSURANCE POLICIES THAT ARE WORTHLESS." We were finally offered to have our travel dates extended until April 2021 at an additional cost of $283.00. I have learnt a valuable lesson and will now deal directly with Spirit ofTasmania as there terms and conditions would have ensured us a full 100% fair refund and the cost to alter our booking to an alternative date in April 2021 would not have incurred any cost at all.
Travel insurance company gone bust since but now you can take out covid travel insurance which was never covered since SARS which our company went through! Our t&cs cover us against such a disaster keeping your booking in credit for you to use now almost 2 years later. Looking forward to a Bon Voyage please call us to set sail!
Fantastic experience: Professional and friendly staff, would recommend to anyone wants to book Tasmania tours. They also did a great job finding accommodation & car for me
Fantastic experience: The best volunteer program I have participated in, like their bruny island trip and bonorong trip.
Bruny Island on again this weekend and we look forward to joining the volunteers on an excellent day again ;) thanks for the good review

Fantastic experience: Thank you to all the wonderful staff at Travel With a Cause (Mark, Jane et al) for assisting with our bookings on the Spirit of Tasmania. As they say "miracles do happen". The kindness and compassion this business and staff exhibit make the world a better place. Best wishes Lou Steve and Jett. Xx
Thanks Lou Steve and Jett, it is a pleasure and so lovely being appreciated at this not for profit agency. Don't forget us for any travel needs ;)
Fantastic experience: I heard about Travel With A Cause 11 yrs ago and have never used any other travel agent. I'd gotten a quote from Fight Centre-called TWAC for a comparison quote and no word of a lie it was $2000 dollars cheaper!! same plane, same dates, same airline!!! When I called Flight Centre they couldn't match it or beat it. (but did offer me insurance) I feel like a valued client-I used to use Flight Centre but it seemed that staff was always changing and when I did have any problems where I had to call from o/s I ended up in a call centre. Plus!! why do they charge extras on somethings? Jane (Founder of TWAC) has never charged us the extra fees that Flight Centre have in their quotes. 4 Years ago my father passed away on NYE (Australia date) and I had to fly to Canada to be with my remaining family. I called Jane and she had flights booked within a couple of hours, I was so grateful for this--the office was closed but she sorted out all our flights. Last year we flew around the world and Jane arranged all our flights,hotels, excursions and a cruise for us. She even sorted out a hotel reservation mixup (the hotel's fault) at 2 am Aussie time--can't see another travel company doing that! I have never had any issues with tickets, trips, accommodation. The staff have been very helpful when I've had to make an insurance claim and always get back to you in a prompt manner. Jane has traveled extensively and has a lot of tips and trust me, is soooo patient with hammering out itineraries (I'm a person who changes her mind alot). I travel to Canada yearly and Jane will contact me with 'deals' that she sees before I've even seen them advertised. Jane has booked accomodation for us that she has used personally and it has worked out well when traveling with family groups and/or young children.
Happy Birthday from all the team at Travel with a Cause Lisa. Looking forward to your next booking!
Fantastic experience: We have used Travel with a Cause several times and found them professional, friendly and thorough.
Maree always a pleasure to help you with your travel arrangements.
Negative experience: Completely stuffed up my holiday. Useless, didn't resolve the issue, didn't return calls, weren't responsive. Cost me hundreds extra. Wish there was a zero star option. Don’t waste your time on them.
