It is a lovely drive through the heart of Tasmania, passing through charming villages, farmlands, forest, by Mountains, around lakes and over rivers. you will see so much of Tasmania in one day, with just the right amount of commentary along the way, not too much, and plenty of time to chill.

We will also guide you inside Cradle Mountain NP to make the most of our time there - up to 5 hours, a really good amount of time to explore, hike, climb, walk, photograph, sit, breathe, enjoy.
