GENERAL INFO
Most tracks are in good condition. Some of the walks include sections of walking up and down, but this is compensated by shorter walking distances overall. Full day walks average 15-16 km. There are great opportunities for fit walkers to challenge themselves as there is plenty of additional walking that you can take up. This trip operates with two experienced and knowledgeable, fun-loving guides so we can offer easier and more challenging walk options along the way.
Alcohol or drinks with meals are not included (except tea/coffee and juice with breakfast).
Pre and post-tour accommodation: There are many hotels in Hobart, however, we pick up from and drop off at St Ives Apartments. The tour starts at 7.30 am at the St Ives Apartments, 67 St. Georges Terrace, Battery Point, Hobart. We arrive in Hobart at around 5.00 pm on the last day.

The Stewart Bay lodge was a fantastic base to come back to each night and the meals and provisions from the restaurant were first class. All staff we dealt with were incredibly friendly and helpful.
Jodi
Food was of excellent quality. The guides were excellent too and made it very enjoyable.
Margaret W
The walk was wonderful – the routes were challenging and completing them felt like an accomplishment. The scenery was spectacular and the routes allowed us to take full advantage of them. The guides were excellent. It was the first time my husband and I have done an organized walk, and we plan to do more. Spending a few days with a group of friendly companions was delightful and added to the interest of the journey. Auswalk, you do a great job!

The entire walk went extremely well. We appreciated the Stewart Bay Lodge – its position and meals.
Lizette G
My sister and I walked with Auswalk in Tasmania during March 2025. It was an absolutely wonderful experience. They were so well organized and we could not fault them in any way. Our accommodation at Stewards Lodge and the food was outstanding and far exceeded expectations. Just go ahead and book, you won’t regret it!
Candy B
We would all agree that everything was perfect. The accommodation was lovely and it worked out really well to have the meals delivered to us for the first 2 nights as we were very happy to stay in the room and eat. The restaurant dinner was great. The lunches and snacks from both the restaurant and the meal delivery and the pick up on the first morning were all fabulous. The App was great. We all enjoyed finishing off with the boat ride. It was great to see the Capes from water, also very informative and Damian was fantastic. He was very willing to share local information and give an insight on the day’s walk. I would highly recommend Auswalk to anyone. The information before the hike was great and everything was seamless during the walk. Auswalk took care of everything to a very high standard.
Jyoti T
Everything ran smoothly. Guides Katie & Georgie were fantastic and were always punctual.
Catherine A
All worked well with transport from Hobart and picking lunch up on the way. Carmel very relaxed and informative. The food at Stewart’s Bay Lodge was fantastic and a highlight for us.
Julie W
Our trip went extremely well. The dept point process was very easy – our driver Damien Jones was great. Can I please recommend him highly. It was great to have the same driver each day and his local knowledge was really helpful.
Cate D
The guides were great. Kept an eye on everyone. I got overheated on the first day they were quick to help and get me sorted and going again.
Cheryl L
Both guides were excellent very organised and kept everyone moving and on time.
David F
The entire walk went extremely well. Georgia and Katie were both excellent guides. We were very happy with their explanations and support on the walks.
Sue M
The transport was very convenient. I was enlightened to complete the Three Capes hike, after 11 months of Physio and determination, to achieve the goal of hiking. At first the road was slow, with a fracture of the femoral condyle. The Capes is just the beginning of many adventurous hikes.
Andrea B
All very well planned & organised. It made our trip by not having to organise anything.
Lorna T
The walks were very well marked and we had looked at the app and read notes prior.
Lynda W
The Auswalk guided Three Capes was excellent. The organisation and communication from the initial booking until the end was very clear and thorough. The guides Chris and Bec were great – caring, informative and fun. The SBL was very comfortable and the food was delicious.
Lisa H
Doing the big walk in the middle and finishing with an easier one to Cape Raoul worked really well for us. We can’t recommend the accommodation or the restaurant highly enough. The transport was also excellent. And finishing off with Port Arthur was just perfect. All the pre-info and backup support from Auswalk was exemplary. We felt safe and confident we were in good hands.
Terry P
This spectacular part of the Tasmanian coastline met all our expectations. Well organised by Auswalk with excellent guides who truly helped us get the most from the experience. Highly recommended.

Cannot fault a single thing about our trip. It was fabulous, seamless and beautiful. The Three Capes were spectacular and everyday was interesting and unique. Would highly recommend Auswalk.

SBL has one of the best meals in Tasmania! We really look forward to the meals especially Breakfast and dinner! Views were spectacular and walks moderate. Entire trip went very well.
Michelle B
This was my first Auswalk adventure and it was fantastic. All the details were taken care of and then some. And who doesn’t love pack free walking. Our two guides, Katie and Georgie were great – they really looked after us. The accommodation and meals at Stewarts Bay Lodge were excellent. I will definitely travel with Auswalk again.
Ren C
Our AusWalk experience was fantastic. It took a lot of the stress and guess work out of the planning, but the best surprise of all was how much we enjoyed our driver/guide Damien Jones – he really added a lot of great insight, history, and anecdotes to every day of our walk, and made things feel absolutely seamless start to finish. Beautiful walks and a great experience the entire time.
Julie J
The walk went very smoothly. The accommodation was good( loved the onsens!) and the food plentiful and delicious.
Martin D
The timing was seamless, food and accommodation above expectations.
Sharyn F
This was by far one of the most well organsied walks we have done. On top of that the transport and accommodation were absolutely fantastic. Even though we were walking, I’m sure we put on weight with the amount of lovely food that was served to us during our stay.
Patricia D
Our guides, Kate and Georgie were just fantastic, helpful, knowledgeable and really nice girls. The accommodation was very comfortable, everything was organised very well. The food was really nice, the lunches, the snacks provided each day meant we did not go hungry at all. Communication was great.
Sally W
Right from the first contact with Auswalk to the completion of our trip, we were very well informed and we had everything we needed. The accommodation and meals were amazing. Wouldn’t change a single thing! Thanks Auswalk ?
Melissa H
Our experience with Auswalk for the Three Capes Walk in Tasmania was amazing. Everything was well organised and the transfers, the accommodation and meals were first class. We would recommend their services and thank them for a very memorable and wonderful trip.
Jo A
The programme of walks worked well with a ‘rest day ‘after the long walk on day two, when we went on the boat and visited Port Arthur. These are great additions to the schedule. Georgie and Katy were great and worked hard to accommodate a group with varying fitness levels.
Samantha F
Georgie & Ian were fabulous guides. They were well organised, good humoured and provided us a great launching pad for discovery.
Sam L
Excellent. Everything was organised for us which made the experience so much better. The accommodation was brilliant and the dinners were exceptional
Richard S
Fantastic holiday. Communication was excellent throughout and very informative.
Susan T
Our trip went extremely well. Guides were great and especially informative about the local flora and geology. Really appreciated their focus on healthy snacks. Due to the weather 1/2 our group did the shorter version on day 2 which was a wonderful alternative. Foods were of excellent quality and I am very keen to do the self guided Queen Charlotte with an added rest day next October. Lord Howe and Flinders island.

We had such a great experience with Auswalk Walking Holidays for our recent Three Capes trip. Everything was exceptionally well organised. Our guide and driver, Damian was very helpful and knowledgeable – having the local expertise made the trip even better than possible. We had three most amazing walks and being collected in a timely manner, than back to the accommodation for wonderful meals made it so much easier.
Will definitely be booking Auswalks again.
Stephen M
This was my first hiking holiday and I loved it. The 3 capes in Tasmania is amazing. Auswalk made the whole process extremely easy. We were picked up and dropped off at our accommodation in Hobart by Damien, Damien also took us to all 3 of the walks. He is from the area and has done all the walks, so he knows the area and walks very well. all 3 walks were beautiful, but my favorite walk was from Waterfall Bay to Fortescue Bay. It is about 17klm’s and took approx 7-8 hrs. It is the least walked and therefore the track is not as clear and more overgrown, but it is clear enough not to get lost. In the first 3-4 hrs we only saw one other group of 3. the landscape changes frequently and the views of the coast are amazing. even though the track is a lot more Rugger’d, for me that made it more appealing. will definitely be going back to this walk. Cape Hauy walk was the shortest but the most physically challenging due to all the stairs and the lack of shade towards the end. Be sure to have plenty of water for this one, again it’s well worth it with the stunning views during and at the end of the walk. Our last walk was to Cape Raoul and although this was also about 15-17 klm’s I found the walk to be the easiest. The track is well made and although its hilly the grade is not as steep as Cape Hauy. like the first walk I mentioned the landscape also changed quite a lot with this one as well. Auswalk put us up at Stewarts Bay Lodge. The accommodation and the restaurant were amazing with good food and great staff. Highly recommend this holiday.

Thanks to Kathleen and David for all the fun, expert care and professionalism. What a talented team!
Mardi O
A wonderful way to explore the Tasman Peninsula and the beautiful scenery it offers for those of us that love to walk but are keen for a warm shower, comfy bed, lovely meal & a glass of wine at the end of each day of hiking.
Lisa J
After years of planning hikes and carrying my own sleeping gear and food it was total luxury to go on a guided hike staying in well appointed accommodation with all food provided, knowledgeable guides, hiking in a world class natural environment. A true holiday for a working Mum with young children.
Kym D
Bec and Georgie did a fantastic job in our guided walk, sharing points of interest and keeping all the group in high spirits with lots of laughs.
Alison C
Absolutely loved the 3 capes walk. The divine scenery and diverse vegetarian on each of the walks was stunning. Our guides Rose and Merrill were fantastic – very knowledgeable and they worked hard to make sure each and every one of us was looked after and had a good time
