Cradle Mountain Experience

Overview

Immerse yourself in the rugged beauty, wildlife, and the rich history of one of Tasmania’s most iconic wilderness regions. This two-day Cradle Mountain Experience blends alpine landscapes with wildlife encounters, expert-guided walks, along with many stories of the Mountain.

Across two days, you’ll enjoy guided walks through ancient moss-covered forests, learn the stories of the park’s early pioneers Kate and Gustav Weindorfer, wander the iconic Dove Lake Circuit, meet native wildlife up close, and unwind in the fresh alpine air. With comfortable transfers, knowledgeable guides, and thoughtfully planned stops — including Sheffield Township and the local Honey Farm — this tour offers a complete and immersive Cradle Mountain experience from start to finish.
