About this tour
Pack Tasmania's three marquee destinations into a single three-day loop: the sheer sea cliffs and convict history of the Tasman Peninsula, the crescent beach at Wineglass Bay paired with vineyard views, and the alpine wilderness of Cradle Mountain. Moving between Hobart and Launceston via the East Coast, you'll walk established tracks with knowledgeable guides, encounter native wildlife at close range, and finish in Sheffield's quirky art precinct. Small groups keep the experience personal.
Highlights
- Tasman Peninsula's 300-metre sea cliffs and Port Arthur's convict past
- Wineglass Bay from above, then down to the sand itself
- Cradle Mountain's Dove Lake Circuit or Marion's Lookout scramble
- Tasmanian devil viewing at dedicated wildlife facility
- Freycinet vineyard lunch with park views across the valley
- Richmond's Georgian bridge, oldest in Australia
- Sheffield's street art and handmade gelato stop
What to expect
Three solid days of walking on well-maintained tracks and boardwalks. Day one ventures onto the Tasman Peninsula's clifftop paths and through Port Arthur's historic grounds, then south to Richmond's heritage precinct. Day two crosses the East Coast to Freycinet, starting with a descent to Wineglass Bay's famous shore, followed by a vineyard visit. Day three tackles Cradle Mountain's options—the gentler Dove Lake loop or the steeper Marion's Lookout ascent—then winds down at Sheffield. Expect moderate to steep terrain, several hours daily on foot, and early starts. Your guide interprets as you walk, keeping group pace steady and wildlife encounters respectful.
