“If you want to disconnect yourself from technology, the 5-night Cradle Mountain Hut Walk on the Overland Track is worth making the time for. The pristine wilderness is breath-taking, and knowing you’ll be arriving at a comfortable hut each night (including hot showers and delicious meals) allows you to embrace the remoteness.”

a few great walks…
CRADLE MOUNTAIN
Cradle Mountain is a hiker’s paradise. It belongs to the World Heritage listed Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage area, and so is an untouched, pristine wilderness. With its ancient rainforest and alpine heaths, stroll from cascading rivers to dense, old-growth rainforest, the park is one Tasmania’s most spectacular iconic spots. Cradle Mountain also marks the start of the Overland Track, a 6 day walk that takes you across the Tasmanian wilderness to the southern edge of the park.
BAY OF FIRES WALK
The Bay of Fires Walk is a four-day guided walk in the magnificent wilderness coastline of north-east Tasmania. The walk covers some 40km, enjoying the dramatic landscapes of the famous Bay of Fires, as well as diverse ecology and rich wildlife. Led by well-informed young Tasmanian guides, small groups will explore both the marine environment and the rich diversity of the nearby woodlands. The Bay of Fires Lodge offers superb accommodation in this near-uninhabited wilderness paradise.
MARIA ISLAND WALK
The Maria Island Walk is outstanding, from the scenic beauty of the walk, the elegant and exclusive accommodation, to the candlelit dining and the experience and personality of the expert local guides. Few places on the planet offer the tranquillity and natural beauty of Maria Island, a national park with no permanent human population. It’s the only walk on the island to be officially listed as one of the Great Walks of Tasmania and Australia.
