Day 3 Hobart To Cape Raoul
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Hobart To Cape Raoul

After breakfast at your hotel a transfer will take you a few minutes to Brooke Street Pier. Here we have two options, If weather permits, we’ll board our private boat, Wild Thing. The 90-minute cruise down to Nubeena is packed with spectacular coastal sites and some cracking stories to share en route. For those who are yet to find their sea legs, or in the case of bad weather, we also have the option of travelling to Nubeena by bus.

From Nubeena, we will all meet back up and head to the Cape Raoul trailhead by bus. There’s no need to carry anything other than a lightweight day pack for this 5-6 hour walk. Larger packs can stay behind.

The walk begins with a gentle climb through eucalypt forest. Then gradually, with each step the grand Tasman Sea begins to reveal itself. It feels like the edge of the world! We’ll then descend down to Cape Raoul lookout. Listen carefully and you might hear the seals way down below. On a clear day, we’ll settle in for lunch here but if the weather isn’t so kind, we have tranquil locations along the track that are sheltered. The return walk is equally special with its varied perspective. There are plenty of chances for photo stops along the way.

Back at camp, enjoy a hot rainwater shower followed by relaxing deck time with a Tasmanian wine or cool drink while the guides get busy preparing your meal. Then settle into our dining room for delicious fare and to celebrate the shared journey of day one. On a clear night, don’t forget to look up. The stars here are glorious. Then, rest your head in our comfy private tents.
Day 4 Fortescue Bay To Cape Hauy Return
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Fortescue Bay To Cape Hauy Return

Wake to the blissful silence of the Tasmanian wilderness and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. We enjoy a relaxed morning before lacing our boots for the 3-4 hour Cape Hauy return.

It begins by a wander through woodlands where wild flowers frequent, before plunging down into a valley. We then climb again, along the well-crafted stone steps that this walk is known for to reach the lookout. Here, you’ll view spectacular dolerite columns including our famed Totem Pole.

We’ll enjoy a nourishing lunch trackside and on return to Fortescue Bay it’s a rewarding feeling to kick off those boots and walk the cool sands. For some, the waters may call for a refreshing dip!

A short transfer will return us to camp, where you can enjoy a couple of restful hours taking in the views or pulling out a good book to read in the fresh Tasmanian air. After time on your private deck, we’ll gather for another hearty dinner in the dining room to share tall Cape Hauy stories.
Day 5 Mount Brown To Remarkable Caves
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Mount Brown To Remarkable Caves

Wake to another hot breakfast prepared by your guides – fuel for your trek to the top of Mount Brown. As with each day, only a day pack is required. The climb is well worth every step. On a clear day, sweeping views take in Cape Raoul, Cape Pillar and Tasman Island.

We’ll then continue walking through to Remarkable Cave. As its name suggest, it truly is remarkable, an ancient sandstone tunnel carved by the sea. By midday we’ll be back on the bus heading to a well-known vineyard for our all-inclusive celebratory lunch and wine tasting.

After this, it’s an easy drive back to the city for hotel transfers. Then again, you may enjoy the Tasman Long Weekend so much you don’t hop on the bus back to Hobart!
