About this tour
A four-day loop from Hobart that tracks Tasmania's wildest corners on foot and by vehicle. You'll chase platypuses, wombats and wallabies through their natural habitat, stay in lakeside lodges and bush cabins, and tackle serious hikes across Cradle Mountain and down to Wineglass Bay. The small group format—capped at 13 people—means you move at a pace that lets wildlife reveal itself rather than rushing past it. Accommodation, most transport and park entry are sorted; you bring fitness and patience.
Highlights
- Spot platypuses, wombats, echidnas and quolls in the wild
- Hike Cradle Mountain National Park with a local guide
- Walk to Wineglass Bay's dramatic amphitheatre of sand

- Explore Bay of Fires' orange-rock beaches and granite pools
- Sleep in a bush cabin surrounded by native wildlife
What to expect
This is proper bushwalking, not strolling. Expect full days of hiking in variable weather—Tasmania's alpine regions and rainforests demand decent boots and layers. You'll be up early spotting animals (dawn is prime time for platypuses and wombats), then out on marked trails where the gradients are real. Nights are spent in simple but comfortable lodges and cabins; facilities are solid, but you're genuinely remote. One dinner and one breakfast are included; plan meals around small towns. Wildlife sightings aren't guaranteed—you're observing animals in their own space—but the guide knows where to look and when.
Good to know
Moderate fitness is essential—some hikes run 4–6 hours with elevation gain. Weather changes rapidly; bring waterproof gear. Mobile reception is patchy inland. All park entry and the Cradle Mountain shuttle are covered. Most meals are your responsibility; stock up in Hobart or larger towns.
