Cradle Mountain National Park tours & holidays

So much space, but plenty of time

They don’t call this the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area for no reason – out here, there really is just world-class wilderness. A region that resembles the Scottish Highlands, Tasmania's Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park is a treasure trove for the outdoorsy and outside-y. Visitors can take a stroll on the Dove Lake Circuit for a snapshot of the view, while the hard-core hikers can trek the long way on the Overland Track. Nature lovers can cross off meeting a Tasmanian Devil at a local conservation facility, but lucky spotters may see them out among the heaths and trees.

Cradle Mountain National Park highlights

Take a stroll around Dove Lake

Hike the famous Dove Lake Circuit (6 km). Skirting the picture-perfect Dove Lake, you'll walk beneath impressive mountain spires, through the King Billy Pine Forest and past the Pencil Pine Falls. This low-intensity track is mostly boardwalk, so you’ll get great views of the beach, forests and mountains without a great hike.

Meet a Tassie Devil

The Tasmanian Devil, an animal as fearsome as a lion cub, is this wild island’s mascot. In Cradle Mountain, visit a wildlife conservation facility that cares for and protects these endangered critters. While here, learn about their diet and endangered status, catch a feeding and lucky visitors may even meet the young ones.

Check out the view from Marion's Lookout

Enjoy the well-earned views of Cradle Mountain National Park and beyond on a hike up to Marion’s Lookout. This iconic viewpoint is located high above the western side of Dove Lake and requires a bit of rock scrambling to get to, but the huffing and puffing is totally worth it when you reach the top.
