href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/new-zealand-travel-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New Zealand<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tasmania is a small island just south of the main island of Australia, known for its mountainous landscape, beautiful coastal region, and a vast variety of wildlife &#8211; with the Tasmanian devils and wombats being the most prominent of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to its compactness, it is one of the best places in Australia to plan a road trip. &nbsp;Nowhere else in Australia&nbsp;will you experience so much beauty without having to drive for hundreds of kilometers per day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With endless hiking and photography possibilities, it&#8217;s a place you can&#8217;t miss when visiting or living in&nbsp;Australia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tasmania_10-day_itinerary_the_logistics\"><\/span>Tasmania 10-day itinerary: the logistics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I spent 5 months living and traveling around Tasmania and designed this itinerary based on my personal favorite places and hikes around the island.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-11464990199\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_time_do_you_need_to_see_Tasmania\"><\/span>How much time do you need to see Tasmania?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I always think it&#8217;s a relative question. You can spend a lifetime exploring Tasmania and still not see everything but that would also mean you would have to move there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to get a good taste of Tassie and see most of its highlights, I personally think 10 days, +\/- 2 days either way is an optimal time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that the slower&nbsp;you travel the lesser cost per day your vacation will have as you won&#8217;t be cramming too many activities and sights in a shorter amount of time. The best time to visit is between December and March during the summer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-11465030399\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_to_Tasmania\"><\/span>How to get to Tasmania<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two ways of getting to Tasmania. One is to cross over on an overnight ferry from Melbourne and dock in Devonport on the north tip of the island. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Traveling by ferry from Melbourne to Devonport<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Spirit of Tasmania is the only company that operates on this route and offers passenger ferry rides across the Bass Strait. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This choice is great for someone who already owns a car and wants to save money on renting one. You can just bring your camping equipment along and off you go. If camping isn&#8217;t for you and you prefer a bit more luxury just stay in a hotel. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flying to Hobart<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t cope with traveling on ferries very well and get seasick, the second, faster, and&nbsp;most popular way is to fly into Hobart &#8211; Tassie&#8217;s little capital. Companies like Virgin Australia and Jetstar are leaders when it comes down to flight connections between Australia&#8217;s Mainland and Tasmania.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_around_Tasmania\"><\/span>How to get around Tasmania?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rent a compact car with Discover Cars<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to explore the little island is by self-driving. If you brought a car with you, you&#8217;re all set to go. If you need to rent one, check out<strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/australia\/hobart?a_aid=inafarawayland\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/australia\/hobart?a_aid=inafarawayland\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Discover Cars<\/a>.<\/strong>&nbsp;It&#8217;s my go-to website for the best deals on compact cars.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rent a campervan with Motorhome Republic<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>My preferred way for road-tripping is by traveling in a small camper van or motorhome, as it gives you a lot of freedom when it comes down to accommodation. Essentially your home is where you park it! If you are after renting one &#8211; check out&nbsp;the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorhomerepublic.com\/australia\/hobart-campervan-rental\/?affiliate=inafarawayland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Motorhome Republic<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will be able to compare the rental options and will be guaranteed the lowest prices. They&#8217;ve partnered up with 10 different fleets in Hobart including companies like Britz, Maui, and Apollo, which are the most reputable camper van companies and can be all found on their website by following the link above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-11474355499\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Parks_Wildlife_Entry_Pass\"><\/span>Parks &amp; Wildlife Entry Pass<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since most of the island is a protected area, you will&nbsp;require Parks Pass to enter national parks in Tasmania. I can tell you straight away, that purchasing separate day passes is not worth it. For example, a day pass for Cradle Mountain National Park costs AUD 29.10 per person\/day. If there are 2 of you that&#8217;s already 58 dollars. And that&#8217;s only for one day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A way more economical option is to purchase an 8-week-pass for AUD 93.15, which will cover up to 8 people for all national parks on the whole island and one vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s way better value for money and it will save you time too as you will only have to purchase it once. You can get one at the Parks and Wildlife office located at the gates of any of the national parks or online through&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/parks.tas.gov.au\/explore-our-parks\/know-before-you-go\/park-passes-and-entry-fees\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/parks.tas.gov.au\/explore-our-parks\/know-before-you-go\/entry-fees\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Parks &amp; Wildlife Service<\/a>&nbsp;prior to your travels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tasmania_Road_Trip_Map\"><\/span>Tasmania Road Trip Map<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Below you can see the interactive map for this road trip including interesting spots, hiking trails, and photography locations.

You can thank me later! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no supermarkets in Cradle Mountain village, just a little and very overpriced convenience store, a visitor center, a gift shop, and 4 hotels, so replenishing your food in a bigger city, like Launceston, might be a good idea. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-11466076799\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_hikes_and_places_to_photograph_in_Cradle_Mountain_NP\"><\/span>Best hikes and places to photograph in Cradle Mountain NP<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"javascript:\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3268.jpg\" alt=\"Hiking in Cradle Mountain National Park, Tasmania\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"javascript:\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3269.jpg\" alt=\"Hiking in Cradle Mountain National Park, Tasmania\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"javascript:\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3270.jpg\" alt=\"Hiking in Cradle Mountain National Park, Tasmania\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"javascript:\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3271.jpg\" alt=\"Marion&#039;s Lookout, Cradle Mountain NP, Tasmania\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In Cradle Mountain National Park hiking and photography go hand in hand, so if you are after some awesome shots from your travels be prepared to break a sweat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trails in the park are very well-maintained and marked. Please note that there are a few spots where the chains have been placed and where you will have to scramble a bit. Most walks start from Dove Lake car park.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Marion&#8217;s Lookout&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After the Dove Lake Circuit, this is the most popular hike in the park, and for a good reason. There are two&nbsp;ways you can get there. The first one is from the Ronny Creek parking lot via Crater Falls, this is also where the famous Overland Track starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second path leads from&nbsp;the Dove Lake car park and takes you via Wombat Pool. If you do the hike in the late afternoon it&#8217;s pretty common to meet wombats on the trail, this is the reason it&#8217;s so popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also a third alternative route to Marion&#8217;s lookout (called the link track), though shorter in distance it is a lot steeper and best to avoid, especially during bad weather conditions. Whichever way you choose account for at least 2-3 hours roundtrip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cradle Mountain Summit<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it is Tasmania\u2019s fifth highest peak, if you are relatively fit like me, summiting Cradle Mountain isn\u2019t too strenuous. The walk starts from the main car park at the northern end of Dove Lake. The most popular route which goes around the Wombat Pool&nbsp;ascends firstly to Marion&#8217;s Lookout.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there&nbsp;to the base of the mountain is flat and easy and shouldn\u2019t take you long. &nbsp;The last hour is the hard part, climbing over big, but easily manageable, boulders. You can make a lunch stop at the Kitchen Hut to recharge your batteries before the last push.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do yourself a favor and leave your heavy bag there whilst getting up to the summit. Remember to still carry your water though. Parks Tasmania reckons that it should take around 6-8 hours to return but I\u2019ve done it in 5 and I\u2019m not exactly a quick walker. So I reckon if you\u2019re fit you can get up and down in 4\/5 hours from the Dove Lake car park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dove Lake Circuit&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are after something less demanding on your knees this one is for you. The circuit is a great introductory walk to the park. The trailhead&nbsp;leaves again from the Dove Lake car park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though Parks &amp; Wildlife Tasmania recommends doing it clockwise, my advice would be to go anticlockwise. It will be a bit easier that way. Your first stop will be the famous Boatshed where photographers from all over the world swarm to capture this famous scene.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3272.jpg\" alt=\"Boat Shed by the Dove Lake, Cradle Mountain National Park, Tasmania\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"javascript:\"><\/a><strong>Hansons<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Peak<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot less popular, which boggles me a lot, is the hike to Hanson&#8217;s Peak. With that said it is definitely my all-time favorite and I&#8217;ve done it a few times. It&#8217;s a perfect spot to see the sunset and has a good view of the Weindorfers Tower and Cradle Mountain Summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again the trailhead is at the Dove Lake car park. Head left along the lake first following clockwise the Dove Lake Circuit. After around 20 minutes the track will split into two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow the left side (Lake Rodway Track) and start going up. After another 45m-1h and a bit of scrambling on the last part, you will reach the top and the spectacular views that go with it! (See below)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3273.jpg\" alt=\"Hansons Peak\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"javascript:\"><\/a><strong>Mount Campbell&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an unofficial track and no longer maintained but I thought I will include it anyway. If you are feeling a bit more adventurous and prefer off-the-beaten-path hikes, then completing this one should be your top priority when visiting Cradle Mountain NP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hike to Mount Campbell starts the same way as Hanson&#8217;s Peak. Once you reach the saddle you will see Lake Hanson to the left and Dove Lake to the right. Instead of following the path to Hanson&#8217;s Peak, turn around and start going up the opposite direction, with your back facing Cradle Mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After around 45 minutes of scrambling you will reach the top. This was by far my favorite sunrise spot in the whole park! (photo below)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3274.jpg\" alt=\"Mount Campbell, Cradle Mountain National Park, Tasmania\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bonus: Tasmanian Devil Sanctuary<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Right near the entry to the Cradle Mountain National Park, you will find Devils @ Cradle &#8211; a Tasmanian Devil Sanctuary. This endangered species is native to Tasmania and until recently it could only be seen on the island. In recent years a small population was introduced to mainland Australia in the hopes of saving the species. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can stroll leisurely through the sanctuary, observing the animals in their natural daytime routines. Witness them sleeping in their cozy dens, basking in the sun, engaging in playful fights, or foraging for food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-gyg-href=\"https:\/\/widget.getyourguide.com\/default\/availability.frame\" data-gyg-tour-id=\"492000\" data-gyg-locale-code=\"en-US\" data-gyg-currency=\"AUD\" data-gyg-widget=\"availability\" data-gyg-variant=\"horizontal\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"TYYOXUU\" data-gyg-cmp=\"Devils_Sanctuary_Widget\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_places_to_stay_in_Cradle_Mountain_National_Park\"><\/span><a href=\"javascript:\"><\/a>Best places to stay in Cradle Mountain National Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Budget<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/au\/discovery-holiday-parks-cradle-mountain.html?aid=1188554&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;room1=A%2CA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Discovery Parks &#8211; Cradle Mountain<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Holiday cabins with cooking facilities, dorms, tent sites, and powered sites for your campervan<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Midrange<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/au\/cradle-mountain-hotel.html?aid=1188554&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;room1=A%2CA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Cradle Mountain Hotel&nbsp;<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>affordable luxury with two restaurants and a beautiful photo gallery&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Luxury<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/au\/peppers-cradle-mountain-lodge.html?aid=1188554&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;room1=A%2CA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>selection of wood cabins surrounded by the Tasmanian Wilderness equipped with either gas or wood fire<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-11474490899\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_7-8_Mount_Field_National_Park\"><\/span>Day 7-8: Mount Field National Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s time to see some waterfalls!

The ferry to Bruny Island leaves from a small town called Kettering and costs 38$ in return during peak season. Timetables for the ferry can be found&nbsp;here, and the journey lasts approximately twenty minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bruny Island is basically two islands connected by a small stretch of road called The Neck, which happens to be one of my favorite photography spots in Tassie. This is a great part of the road trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bruny Island is a place of sheer indulgence, you\u2019ll love it.<\/strong> Once you find yourself on the island you\u2019ll get the chance to eat local cheeses, meats, whiskeys, seafood, wines, beers, berries, and much more.
