This isn&rsquo;t your average camping trip&mdash;Schouten Island offers true off-the-grid adventure. With no human habitation and access only by boat, it&rsquo;s one of Tasmania&rsquo;s best-kept secrets. You&rsquo;ll be dropped directly onto an untouched beach and left to explore, snorkel, hike, and camp with nothing but nature around you. If you&#39;re craving total solitude and raw coastal beauty, this is it.
