The question is: which one suits you best?

Four people smile together on a rocky mountaintop, posing with a stone summit marker under a clear blue sky. Dressed in sunglasses and outdoor gear, they embody the spirit of Cradle Mountain Walking Adventures, capturing the essence of unforgettable walking tours in Australia.

Our 3-day Cradle Mountain pack-free guided walk immerses you in a landscape of rugged peaks, glacial lakes, and ancient rainforests brimming with wildlife.

Four hikers rest on a rocky mountain path with a scenic view of green valleys and distant hills. The clear sky adds to the serenity, as they smile and relax during their Cradle Mountain Walking Adventures, enjoying a well-earned break in the heart of nature's breathtaking beauty.

Each day presents a fresh opportunity to explore, with panoramic views of Tasmania’s highest mountains and abundant natural wonders that delight nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. This walk is ideal for those seeking a deep connection with the park without the burden of carrying a heavy pack, allowing you to savour the scenery and truly appreciate the tranquil wilderness.

For those seeking a more extended adventure, the 4-day Cradle Mountain and Walls of Jerusalem walk is the perfect choice. This tour encompasses all of Cradle Mountain’s highlights while leading you further into the Walls of Jerusalem, a realm of jagged dolerite peaks, sparkling glacial lakes, and snowgum woodlands.

A wooden path guides adventurous souls through lush greenery and colorful bushes, with Tasmania's rugged mountain silhouetted against a vibrant, pink-tinged sky at sunset—an experience perfect for walking tours.

It offers a more challenging experience, rewarding walkers with remote alpine vistas and a sense of discovery few have the chance to encounter.

However, for those eager to venture further into Tasmania’s wild heart, the combined Cradle Mountain and Walls of Jerusalem walk promises an unforgettable journey.

Whether you prefer a gentle introduction or a more immersive alpine adventure, these tours provide the perfect opportunity to experience the pristine beauty of Tasmania’s highlands.
