Itinerary

Welcome to Tasmania! Or Lutruwita in the language of the Palawa people who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which Tasmania is now located. You can arrive in Launceston at any time today and check into your hotel from 2 pm. Your adventure officially begins with a welcome meeting at 6 pm in your hotel to meet your fellow travellers. After, head to the hotel restaurant for a welcome dinner, setting the tone for an unforgettable adventure through Tassie!

Depart Launceston and drive to your first stop, the Tiagarra Museum on Mersey Bluff in Devonport. Here, you'll experience a Welcome to Country ceremony and guided tour at the Tasmanian Aboriginal Cultural Centre and Keeping Place. See Aboriginal petroglyphs and learn about the rich cultural heritage of the Palawa people – the Traditional Owners of Lutruwita. Next, travel along part of the Cradle to Coast Tasting Trail to the town of Penguin for lunch. Continue to your first walk of the trip – Philosopher Falls. This short, mostly gentle walk will take you through lush temperate rainforest, ending with a steep set of steps down to the falls. After, make your way to the remote historic mining town of Corinna where you’ll have dinner surrounded by the rainforest of Takayna. (B/L/D)

Start the day with an early-morning 1. 5-hour boat cruise along Pieman River. Disembark at Hardwicke Point on the northern bank, then hike through coastal heathland to the sea at Pieman Heads. From there, continue along the wild and rocky coastline to Rupert Point, where you'll be treated to sweeping views of Sandy Cape and the coastline you've just traversed. After taking in the scenery, retrace your steps back to Hardwicke Point and get back on the boat for a leisurely cruise back to Corinna. End your day with dinner at the Tannin Restaurant, again surrounded by rainforest. (B/L/D)

Start the day with a refreshing morning short walk, either on the Whyte River Loop or the Savage River Return Walk, which both offer beautiful natural scenery. After, you'll head to Cradle Mountain. On the way, stop for a scenic walk to Montezuma Falls. This easy, mostly flat walk follows a former tramway through wet, steep, forested terrain to one of Tasmania's highest waterfalls, standing at 104 m. You'll cross a bridge that provides spectacular views back to the falls and out over the wild western rainforests. After soaking in the beauty of Montezuma Falls, continue your journey to Cradle Mountain. (B/L/D)

Today's adventure offers several walking options, tailored to the weather and the group's energy levels. Immerse yourself in the stunning landscapes of Cradle Mountain, with its imposing mountain vistas, glacial lakes and button grass plains. This area is popular for a reason, and you'll see why as you explore its natural beauty. As the starting point of the world-renowned Overland Track, Cradle Mountain promises an unforgettable day of walking and exploration! (B/L/D)

Today, bid farewell to the beautiful Cradle Mountain region. Before you depart, head out on the Dove Lake Circuit, for a perfectly scenic final walk. After, head towards Launceston, stopping in the town of Sheffield, which is known for its impressive murals. If time allows, you'll explore some of the local produce along the way and maybe grab something to eat. When you arrive back in Launceston, your trip comes to an end. If you’d like to extend your stay and explore sights like Cataract Gorge or the Tamar Valley, just speak to your booking agent ahead of time. (B/L)
