Detailed Itinerary

  • Day 1: Cradle Mountain

    Our professional guide will collect you from your Cradle Mountain accommodation.

    We travel into the iconic Cradle Mountain National Park to Ronny creek to begin our exploration of the area, weather permitting we will leave the bus with our hand held torches and spot lights and quietly and slowly walk into Mount Kate Hut area to view some animals that have popped out early for their night time feed. .

    We stroll along the local area boardwalks of the Cradle Valley Walk and perhaps even the Overland Track where there is a good chance to view some wombats amongst other animals.

    From Waldheim Chalet we will spotlight from the bus along the road and into the forest hoping to spot any elusive animals before returning to your local accommodation.
