What to expect
Expect a full day of coach travel and walking. You'll start with pickup from your Launceston hotel, then head towards the national park. The Enchanted Forest Walk is a gentle stroll through dense vegetation with ferns and towering trees. Mid-morning brings a stop at Ashgrove Cheese Farm where you can see how local cheese is made and sample products. After lunch, the main event: exploring Cradle Mountain's trails and vistas. The terrain varies from flat sections to moderate inclines. Weather can change quickly, so layers are essential. The coach ride home takes the afternoon, arriving back late evening.
Good to know
Wear sturdy walking shoes and bring layers—mountain weather shifts rapidly. The tour suits moderate fitness levels; steep sections are optional. Small children can use prams on some paths. Bring your own snacks if needed. Gratuities aren't included.
