Three Capes & the Tasman Peninsula - 4 Day - Group-Guided

This is literally a walker’s paradise, with mountains, forests, and incredible beaches at every turn. To put it simply, the diversity of walking here is astonishing. A visit to the remote and mostly uninhabited Flinders Island is like stepping back in time. The pace of life here is slower, the locals friendlier, and the air, perhaps the cleanest in the world. The walking here is so impressive and so breathtakingly gorgeous it’s a wonder that this place remains so unknown. Imagine the Bay of Fires meets Wilsons Promontory on steroids, and it’s no wonder this was all part of the same mountain range when Tasmania was still joined to the mainland. Mt Strzelecki is the tallest mountain in this mountain range and definitely the most striking. Wildlife abounds with wallabies, Cape Barren geese, wild peacocks, pheasants, various birds of prey and large numbers of seabirds all calling this place home. One evening we will cruise over to the Short Tailed Shearwater birds feeding grounds, which are three small island off Flinders Island, and watch the clouds of birds swoop in to feed their young.

The Flinders Island highlights walk includes the 3 must do walks on the island. This is a destination where photos can never do it justice. How do you translate visually the splendid isolation of an island almost the size of Luxembourg but with only 900 inhabitants (Luxembourg’s population is 600,000). What you will discover is that the pace of life here is a lot slower, the locals friendlier and the air is cleaner. If you meet someone as you walk or on one of the magnificent pristine sandy beaches, then it feels crowded. The Flinders Island walks are so impressive and so breathtakingly gorgeous it’s a wonder that this place remains so unknown. The coastline is punctuated by the red lichen-covered boulders that have made the Bay of Fires famous, the difference is that on Flinders Island there is just way more of it.

Explore Freycinet Peninsula, Tasmania’s most iconic coastal walking destination. The peninsula’s combination of towering pink-hued granite mountains, pristine isolated white beaches and gorgeous bays, the most famous of all being Wineglass Bay, all work in concert to make this a fabulous three-day walking adventure.

This is a destination where photos can never do it justice. How do you translate visually the splendid isolation of an island that’s almost the size of Luxembourg with only 900 inhabitants (Luxembourg’s population is 600,000).

We get up close and personal to Cradle Mountain by walking a part of the iconic Overland Track, the Cradle Mountain Face Track and Dove Lake.
