Cradle Mountain National Park tours & vacations

Absolutely. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. It's important to understand that each country you visit may have its own specific entry requirements, and some destinations mandate travel health insurance for all foreign travelers, regardless of their nationality.

We require that at a minimum you are covered for medical expenses including emergency repatriation, but minimum coverage may differ from trip to trip, so make sure you check the Travel Insurance section in your Essential Trip Information. You will not be permitted to join the group until your leader has sighted your insurance policy number and the insurance company's 24-hour emergency contact number, and these details will be recorded on the first day of your trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is an essential part of every journey.

For travelers who reside within the European Union, Switzerland or the USA, the requirement to purchase travel insurance cannot be compulsory. However, the purchase of travel insurance is still highly recommended, and travelers from these regions who decline travel insurance when travelling outside their home region must sign a Travel Insurance Waiver Form, recognizing personal responsibility for emergency medical and repatriation costs should they arise.

Cradle Mountain has a cool temperate climate with four distinct seasons. However, this area is known to surprise visitors with weather that can bring snow in summer.

Late spring to early autumn (November to March) is considered the best time to go hiking as the weather is drier, temperatures are warmer and flora flourishes.

Visitors should bring a variety of clothes and outdoor attire on a trip to Cradle Mountain. Make sure you pack clothes that layer, plus a jumper or jacket, wet weather gear, sunscreen, a hat and a beanie. And don't be surprised if you wear all these things on the same day.

Waterproof attire is essential if you plan on hiking or doing gentle walking.
