Cradle Mountain National Park From Launceston

Explore the variety of wild landscapes found in the Cradle Mountain National Park on this beautiful tour from Launceston.

We'll arrive at Lake St Clair National Park, from lush rainforest to craggy mountain peaks, on our 1-Day Cradle Mountain Day Tour from Launceston! Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the Enchanted Forest, take in the spectacular surrounds of Dove Lake, stand in the shadow of the rugged Cradle Mountain and maybe spot some of the local wildlife. On the return journey to Hobart, we'll stop in at Ashgrove Cheese Farm to sample the delicious locally made cheeses.

The day starts travelling through the Tasmanian countryside passing through the quaint and historic towns of Westbury and Deloraine, which are both well known for their spectacular arts and crafts. Our first stop of the day is the town of Sheffield, home to several artistic murals illustrating the history of the area from the early pioneering days. Get some great photos of these unique artworks before we continue our journey to Cradle Mountain.

Once we enter the national park, keep an eye out for the local wildlife including potoroos, wallabies and wombats. We'll check out the visitor centre to learn about the environment and history of the area, before taking a short walk through the Enchanted Forest. Here you can amongst the beautiful pencil pines and mossy forest, along a trickling creek.

Next up we'll head to Dove Lake where you can enjoy another stroll and admire the views of Cradle Mountain towering above. Visit the Waldheim Chalet, which is the ancient forest home of the original founder of the national park (Gustav Weindorfer). In the afternoon, we'll travel back to Launceston, calling in at Ashgrove Cheese Farm on the way.
