How can I travel from Hobart to Cradle Mountain, Tasmania in 2023?
Cradle Mountain National Park is iconic Tasmania at its finest, and well worth the effort to travel to this remote corner of the island, even if just for the day.
And that is exactly what we offer intrepid explorers who have this wild natural wonder on their bucket list when visiting Tasmania, or even Locals who have a day off and choose the smart option of having someone else drive the not so easy roads.
Either way, The Derwent Experience, based out of Hobart, has been running a day trip to Cradle Mountain once a week since early 2022, and the feedback has been excellent. Most tours to Cradle Mountain depart from Launceston, and now there is a great option that departs each week from Hobart. Brilliant!
So, what can you expect on this Big Day Out from Hobart to Cradle Mountain?
Pick up from your accommodation within Hobart city.
A beautiful and serene drive through some of the best parts of Tasmania - relax and gaze out the window. This is precious time for you, heading to a beautiful place for the sole purpose of immersing yourself in something that has nothing to do with humans at all. Some natural wonders are just like that, and so worth a big effort.
A road trip with excellent stops along the way for breakfast - at Muma Buzz Cafe in Deloraine, and for dinner - at the Empire Hotel in Deloraine (all meals at own expense).
We also make some other stops along the way for comfort at interesting places that few visitors to Tasmania have the good fortune of experiencing.
The highlight is of course your time in the National Park - hiking, walking, exploring and revelling in the wild beauty of a truly special place.
Your National Park entry pass and shuttle bus ticket is included, and your driver makes sure that all of the options within the park are clearly explained, and helps you navigate to the right trails to maximise your time at Cradle Mountain, Dove Lake and other parts of the park.
It is always a small group, travelling safely and in comfort in a fully insured and accredited small bus. With everyone having a common goal for the day, the energy is always positive, and by the end of the day everyone has new friends, and has been uplifted in experiencing something special together with others.
Small group travel in a safe and comfortable bus well suited for the long drive.
You are then taken back to your Hotel or Home in Hobart.
