DEPART­ING LAUNCESTON

Choose Your Adventure

Dis­cov­er the spec­tac­u­lar land­scapes of Cra­dle Moun­tain on a full-day guid­ed jour­ney from Launceston.

Trav­el through the scenic Mean­der Val­ley and Great West­ern Tiers, stop­ping in Sheffield, the Town of Murals, before con­tin­u­ing through rain­for­est, gorges and but­ton grass plains into the Cra­dle Moun­­tain-Lake St Clair Nation­al Park.

Once we arrive at Cra­dle Moun­tain, the day takes two dif­fer­ent paths. Choose the expe­ri­ence that suits you.

PARK EXPLOR­ER (All year)
Dis­cov­er more. Take it all in.

Take in the icon­ic scenery of Dove Lake and Cra­dle Moun­tain with a more relaxed explo­ration of the park. Enjoy time at Dove Lake, dis­cov­er Glac­i­er Rock and the his­toric Boat Shed, and explore the Wald­heim and Weindorfer’s Rain­for­est area with your guide.

DOVE LAKE CIR­CUIT (Oct-Apr)
Step into the Wilderness.

For those who want to immerse them­selves in the land­scape on foot, join your guide for the icon­ic 6 km Dove Lake Cir­cuit. Expe­ri­ence ancient rain­for­est, alpine lakeshores, dra­mat­ic moun­tain scenery and unique Tas­man­ian flo­ra and fau­na as you walk around one of Tasmania’s most cel­e­brat­ed landscapes.

A good lev­el of fit­ness and some bush­walk­ing expe­ri­ence is rec­om­mend­ed for this option.
