Cradle Mountain Vacation Deals

When planning a trip to Cradle Mountain, we recommend doing season-specific research once you’ve locked your dates in. At an absolute minimum, pack sturdy hiking boots, water, snacks, a hat and warm clothing for exploring the rugged terrain. It’s not uncommon for snow to blanket the ground year-round, so keep that in mind. Throw in a sense of wild adventure and a desire to disconnect from the stresses of daily life and you’re ready for the trip of a lifetime.

Where to go depends entirely on how long you have! If you only have a day, enjoy a fun-filled adventure on short rainforest walks to Dove Lake. If you’re caffeinated and looking for an outlet for all that energy, take on the challenge of the mountain itself. For the extra-keen hikers, there’s a six-day Overland Track, but be warned, it’s no walk in the park! Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for wombats that frequent the path.

If you're a fan of snow sports and snuggling up by the fire, then winter (June to August) is perfect for you. If you prefer the warmer weather for hiking and exploring, then the shoulder season from September to November or March to May is ideal. No matter when you go, be prepared for unpredictable weather and truly breath-taking scenery.

Lace up your hiking boots and explore some of the beautiful trails that range from easy strolls to more challenging hikes. If it’s your first time, we recommend taking a guided tour so you can learn about the unique flora and fauna along the way – keep your eyes peeled for wombats and Tasmanian devils. For those who crave the thrill, you can get the blood pumping by canyoning, rock climbing, mountain biking and skiing. After all that adventuring, unwind in one of the cosy lodges, indulge in local cuisine and soak up the serenity of the Tasmanian wilderness.
