Tasmania’s Tarkine & Cradle Mountain Explorer

The dramatic, natural beauty of north west Tasmania awaits on this 5-day discovery tour.

Hike the coastal trails of Narawntapu and Rocky Cape national parks, explore the richness of the Tarkine and take in sweeping ocean views from clifftop lookouts. In between sightseeing, sample the best flavours of the region, from whiskey to chocolate truffles, with visits to locally owned shops on the Cradle to Coast Tasting Trail.
