About this activity

Want the biggest, boldest day trip from Hobart?

Join our small group road trip to one of the world’s most breathtaking places — Cradle Mountain and Dove Lake.

We leave early for a fun, safe, efficient full-day adventure focused entirely on Cradle Mountain. No overnight stay needed — just bring your day pack.

Enjoy a stunning drive through Tasmania’s heart: charming towns, farmland, forest, mountains, lakes and rivers. You’ll see more of the island in one day than most do in a week — with thoughtful commentary and plenty of quiet time to take it all in.

At Cradle Mountain, we guide you inside the National Park for up to 5 hours — perfect for hiking, photographing, or simply breathing in the alpine magic.

We depart Hobart at 6am and return by 9pm.
