Breathe it all in on a full-day guided tour to the Cradle Mountain National Park. After departing Launceston, you’ll stop in Sheffield to see some outdoor art before heading into the alpine wilderness. With four to five hours in the park, you’ll wander the gentle Enchanted Walk, an easy 20-minute circuit following Pencil Pine Creek, then choose your own adventure from Dove Lake. You can tackle the iconic six kilometres Dove Lake Circuit beneath Cradle Mountain, which is an easy-moderate walk that takes two to three hours, or climb to Marion’s Lookout that sits at 1200m for cracking 360Β° views. The latter is around four kilometres but is classified as a medium-grade hike.

Along the way, spot wombats, stroll past ancient King Billy Pines, visit Weindorfers Chalet and refuel by a mountain stream. On the way back, treat yourself at Van Diemen’s Land Ice Creamery and Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm. Fresh air, epic scenery and Tassie’s best day walks - book now!
