Hand-picked tours across Tasmania
Our team has been pulling together the best small-group tours, day trips and multi-day adventures around Tasmania for years. Mick reads the traveller reviews before any tour earns a spot on this page — if a tour's a dud, it doesn't get listed.

2 day Cradle Mountain and Wineglass Bay
Pack Tasmania's standout landscapes into two days: start at Dove Lake in Cradle Mountain National Park, then head to Freycinet for the Wineglass Bay hike and a swim at Honeymoon Bay. You'll travel between Hobart and Launceston with local guides who know where wombats hang out and can point out what makes each region tick. Parks passes and transport are sorted; you choose your own meals and where to stay the night.

Cradle Mountain Day Tour: Dove Lake Guided Hike with Lunch
This 10-hour Cradle Mountain day tour from northern Tasmania combines transport, a guided 6km loop walk around Dove Lake, and lunch in one accessible package. You'll start early from your accommodation, travel through Sheffield's mural-lined streets, then descend into the World Heritage wilderness to tackle a moderately graded circuit beneath the mountain's dramatic peak. The route threads through ancient rainforest, past glacial boulders and historic structures, with a professional guide explaining the landscape throughout.

Devonport Cradle Mt Sightseeing tour
A 6–7 hour guided excursion from Devonport into Cradle Mountain, built around your schedule and fitness level. You'll walk among native bushland, spot wildlife at close range, and discover alpine lakes and cascading water. The route flexes to fit your pace—pick easier paths or tackle longer stretches depending on what appeals. Stops in nearby villages break up the drive and add local flavour to your day.

6 Day Island Icons Tassie Day Tour Bundle
Pack Tasmania's highlights into six days with this bundled tour series covering the state's most distinctive landscapes and attractions. You'll move between Cradle Mountain's alpine terrain, Wineglass Bay's coastal drama, Port Arthur's convict history, Richmond's colonial architecture, kunanyi/Mt Wellington's vistas, Bruny Island's wildlife and clifftops, and the Hastings Caves system with its treetop Airwalk. Days are structured tours operating independently—Cradle Mountain, Wineglass Bay and Hobart Highlights are fixed anchor points, while other days may shift based on availability. The bundle includes entry fees, passes and hotel transfers from selected Hobart locations.

wulinantikala / Cradle Mountain Hiking Tour - 4 Days
Walk the high country around Cradle Mountain, Tasmania's most celebrated summit, over four days in the World Heritage wilderness. Based from Launceston, you'll trek through alpine moorland and ancient buttongrass plains with two experienced guides, staying in comfortable lodges and eating well between days on the trail. This is serious walking in raw, untamed landscape—not a gentle stroll.

Cradle Mountain: Burnie Shore Excursion
A compact Highland escape from Burnie that shoots straight into Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park. Your six hours splits between a 90-minute drive each way and a guided walk around Dove Lake, where you'll stand beneath the mountain's dramatic ridgeline and explore the heritage Boatshed. Small-group format keeps things intimate, park entry's sorted, and you'll be back aboard before the ship weighs anchor.

Cradle Mountain Day Tour Charter Service ( 3 days in advance)
This nine-hour charter departs Launceston and heads south into Tasmania's high country. You'll pass through Sheffield's mural-lined streets before climbing into Cradle Mountain National Park, part of the World Heritage Wilderness Area. The drive takes roughly two and a half hours through forest and highland terrain to reach Dove Lake, where you pick your own walking route—anywhere from a quick half-hour loop to a two-hour circuit with unobstructed views of the ranges and water. On the way back, stop at Ashgrove for tastings of local cheese.

Cradle Mountain Day Trip from Hobart with Scenic Stops
A full-day excursion from Hobart to Cradle Mountain National Park, lasting 15 hours total. You'll travel through rural villages and eucalyptus forests with five hours of guided hiking around Dove Lake and into the high country. Wombats and wallabies regularly appear along the trails. An experienced local guide leads the way, and the air-conditioned coach includes water and park fees. Bring cash for meals in small towns en route.

3-Day Cradle Mountain Photography Workshop
Chase light across Tasmania's alpine landscape on this three-day photography workshop centred on Cradle Mountain. You'll shoot Dove Lake at dawn and dusk, track Tasmanian Devils at a wildlife park, explore moss-draped rainforest, and photograph heritage mountain structures. A professional guide leads you through backcountry routes and manages logistics—accommodation, meals, and transport included—so you focus on composition and light rather than logistics.
