Itinerary
Our tour begins in Hobart and concludes in Launceston.
Your journey begins bright and early with a departure from Hobart. After 1.5 hours, we stop for a break at Campbell Town, where you can stretch your legs, grab a coffee, and enjoy a light snack before continuing on.
Recognised worldwide for its sheer beauty, Cradle Mountain is not to be missed while visiting Tasmania. Upon arrival at the Information Centre on the doorstep of Cradle Mountain, we will stock up on fluids and make our way to the shores of Dove Lake, where you will have a total of 3.5 hours to wander and explore the national park. Take on the Dove Lake circuit or choose one of the many other large or small walks. Once the Dove Lake region has been explored and you’ve captured that prized Instagram photo, it’s time to move on to the Enchanted Forest and King Billy Pine walks. These two exceptionally beautiful and ancient walks will have you gazing through the forest with amorous delight as you breathe in the crisp, pristine air from under the canopy of 4000 year old trees. Native wildlife is abundant in this area, so keep your eyes peeled and you may see the elusive Tasmanian Devil, wombats, Spotted Quolls, wallabies and more!
After 3.5 hours exploring Cradle Mountain, we head to the charming town of Sheffield, known for its vibrant murals that beautifully depict the area’s rich history and natural heritage. Take some time to wander the town's artistic streets, explore local galleries, and enjoy the creative atmosphere.

I had a fantastic day trip to Cradle Mountain and would highly recommend it. Our guide, Mark, was incredibly knowledgeable and a great storyteller. He shared interesting facts throughout the journey and made sure everyone felt comfortable, included, and engaged. The drive was long, but the stops in the small towns helped break it up. The view of Cradle Mountain was absolutely breathtaking and worth every minute of the journey. We also did a short walk through the Enchanted Forest, which was so peaceful. One of the highlights of the day was having a very close encounter with a wombat in the wild. Definitely worth it and highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Huge thanks to our amazing guide and driver, Gray, for making this trip so wonderful. Throughout the whole journey, he shared so much practical information, and the pace of the entire itinerary was incredibly smooth. The real highlight of his exceptional service happened at the very end. I completely spaced out and missed the first drop-off at the Launceston Transit Centre. Gray was an absolute lifesaver! He went above and beyond to make sure I still caught my connecting bus right on time. Truly grateful for his kindness and professionalism—highly recommend him!
Thanks for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We're delighted Gray's knowledge and care made such a positive impact on your trip, and we're especially pleased he was able to help you catch your connecting bus. Hope to welcome you back again at Tassie.

The tour started with Madde collecting us from near our accommodation and she made the tour perfect, from her wide knowledge of the different towns along the way to the plants and wild life we came across. An excellent tour guide.

I joined the Hobart–Cradle Mountain–Launceston day tour with Tassie Tours and had an excellent experience. Our driver-guide was very professional and kind, driving over 10 hours and still keeping everyone comfortable. He shared great insights along the way and even drove the vehicle right into the national park, which was super convenient. Despite the cloudy and rainy weather, I still saw the beautiful Cradle Mountain and some cute wombats. A very worthwhile tour — highly recommend this company!
Thanks for joining us, great to hear you enjoyed the Cradle Mountain journey and the insights along the way. Glad the day still offered beautiful sights despite the weather. Hope to welcome you back to Tassie again!
