Overview

Looking for the biggest and best day trip out of Hobart?

Join our small group road trip across Tasmania and visit one of the worlds most beautiful locations - Dove Lake and Cradle Mountain.

Starting early, we offer a safe, fun, efficient full day that is focused just on Cradle Mountain. No extra accommodation required - just a day pack.

It is a lovely drive through the heart of Tasmania, passing through charming villages, farmlands, forest, by Mountains, around lakes and over rivers. you will see so much of Tasmania in one day, with just the right amount of commentary along the way, not too much, and plenty of time to chill.

We will also guide you inside Cradle Mountain NP to make the most of our time there - up to 5 hours, a really good amount of time to explore, hike, climb, walk, photograph, sit, breathe, enjoy.

We start early (6am) and return to Hobart at 9pm.

Contact Sam at Derwent Experience direct for possible other dates and specials for booking more than one person.
