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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
