Three Capes and the Tasman Peninsula

Depart Hobart at 8.00am. Travel to the Tasman Peninsula. Today’s walk begins at Tasman Arch and continues via Devil’s Kitchen to Waterfall Bay where we will enjoy stunning views from a lookout towering over the sea cliffs. The walking then continues with the hike out to Cape Hauy, the first of the Capes that we explore. This is an epic walk with simply stupendous views back to Cape Pillar and along the coast.

Walks: Moderate / 13 km / 4.5 to 5 hrs / easier option is available
Meals: Lunch on the track and 2 course a la carte dinner
Accommodation: The Lufra in the newly renovated ensuited rooms

The walk today is worth every step and takes in some of the most interesting parts of the coast from Waterfall Bay via Bivouac Bay and Canoe Bay to Fortescue Bay. The walk meanders along the coast through rainforest, with great views out to sea and along the coast. The track is punctuated by secluded bays, pockets of crystal clear water with unspoiled pure white sand. There’s a real feeling of remoteness as we most likely will have this walk to ourselves.

Walks: Moderate / 18 kms / 6.5 to 7.5 hrs / easier option available
Meals: Cooked breakfast at the in house restaurant, walkers lunch and a chef prepared a la carte dinner.
Accommodation: The Lufra in the newly renovated ensuited rooms

Today we explore the not to missed Port Arthur historical site in the morning. In the afternoon we take a one of a kind ocean cruise tour with local ocean guides that are passionate about conservation and the region. Cruising this way gives us a good opportunity to see the spectacular sea cliffs from the ocean, but it’s also the only way to get up close to the much loved marine life.

Walks: Easy to Moderate / 4-7 km / 3 hrs / an alternative walk to the boat trip is available
Meals: Cooked breakfast at the accommodation restaurant, walkers lunch and a 2 course a la carte dinner
Accommodation: The Lufra in the newly renovated ensuited rooms

The walk out to Cape Raoul is a spectacular walk. Cape Raoul is the Cape that is “missing” from the official Three Capes Experience walk, but not from this Auswalk trip! This walk gives us wonderful views south towards Shipstern Bluff and beyond, to Bruny Island and the Tasman mainland. When the sea and winds are right, Shipstern Bluff is one of the biggest surf breaks in the world. But even without monster waves, this coastline of towering sea cliffs and soaring dolerite columns is just stunning. A fitting end to an amazing 4 day walking holiday!

Walks: Moderate / 14 kms / 6 hrs / shorter option available
Meals: Cooked breakfast at the accommodation restaurant and walkers lunch
