6-Day Tasmania Island Icons: Cradle Mountain to Bruny — Complete Day-Tour Bundle
Six days, six essential Tasmanian day tours—from alpine lakes and ancient rainforests to convict sites and oysters on Bruny. This bundled itinerary threads Cradle Mountain, Wineglass Bay, Port Arthur and Tahune Airwalk into a single, efficiently paced exploration.
The Experience
Before You Go
Confirm pickup location and time
Pickup points vary by tour day and hotel; reconfirm your exact Hobart pickup the day before to avoid delays.
Layer for rapid weather changes
Mount Wellington and Cradle Mountain can be 10–15°C colder than Hobart—pack a warm mid-layer and waterproof shell.
Footwear matters
Choose sturdy hiking shoes with grippy soles—many lookouts have steep, uneven stone steps and muddy sections after rain.
Bring a refillable water bottle
Several stops have limited facilities; refill opportunities exist at visitor centres—stay hydrated on long drives and walks.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Sheffield’s mural trail—small laneways full of local stories and art
- •A quiet cider stop on the Huon Valley tasting trail for local apple pies and low-key tastings
Wildlife
- •Tasmanian devil
- •Common wombat
Conservation Note
Tasmania’s ecosystems are fragile—stick to marked trails, follow biosecurity rules to prevent spread of disease (especially to wildlife like devils), and support local producers who practice sustainable harvesting.
The route weaves convict-era Port Arthur with millennia of Palawa (Tasmanian Aboriginal) connection to place; sandstone buildings and shipping routes tell colonial stories alongside Indigenous landscapes.
Photographer's Notes
