WINEGLASS BAY TRACK AND OTHER

Hiking
5/5
4 reviews

Several hikes can be made from the same starting point: the parking lot at the end of Freycinet Drive. While the first two walks follow a common route, the last one takes a completely separate route.

Detailed maps are available on the Tasmania Park & Wildlife Service website. Please feel free to refer to them.

Wineglass Bay Lookout - Medium to difficult - 1 to 1.15 hours round trip - 2.6 km.

The steep but beautifully landscaped trail weaves between gigantic, rounded graniteboulders before reaching the viewpoint. An occasional bonus for some is the sight of whales or dolphins in the bay in the distance. There are numerous steps along the way. Return via a signposted path parallel to the outward journey.

Wineglass Bay & Hazards Beach - Difficult - 4-5 hours - 11 km loop.

Follow the previous route to Wineglass Bay Lookout, then descend to Wineglass Bay beach. Cross the isthmus and return to the starting point (Wineglass Bay Carpak) on a long loop via Hazards Beach and Great Oyster Bay. The whole circuit skirts Mount Mayson.

Mt Amos - Difficult - Allow 3 hours round trip - 3.6 km.

The trail to the top of this mountain is different from the one to Wineglass Bay Lookout. It is steep and arduous, and climbs steeply over bare rock slabs. It can be slippery, especially after rain.

DOVE LAKE CIRCUIT

Hiking
5/5
3 reviews

A 2-3 hour circuit around the lake starting from the parking lot. It's about a 5.5 km loop. Go clockwise to avoid getting in the way when you take the narrow paths. There are a lot of people, so you can go without fear. Circuit of a rather easy level, more flat overall. A few steps though. The best time to do the walk is between November and April. Be careful, the entrance in the park requires a pass that you can buy online.

CRADLE VALLEY BOARDWALK

Hiking

If there is one place you should not miss, especially for a short stay, it is this boardwalk. It's a slightly elevated boardwalk that connects the park entrance to Dove Lake through stunning nature. You'll pass through meadows, dense vegetation and over several waterfalls for 7.8 km. Because this trail is close to the park's shuttle bus route, there are two intermediate stops that allow you to stop and start again at will. Don't miss this experience.

FRENCHMANS CAP TRACK

Hiking

This walk, which requires 4 or 5 days, is in fact a 27 km round trip to the top of Frenchman's Cap. This route is much more strenuous than the Overland Track, with long, steep climbs and large sections of muddy button grass. There are two huts on the trail, at Lake Vera and Lake Tahune, but they are usually full. It is mandatory to bring your own tent and stove, good equipment and enough food to last in case of bad weather. The hike is best done between December and April.
