Bay of Fires Lodge and Cradle Mountain Huts Walks

These are fully escorted and full board walking tours that leave from Launceston between the months of October and May. They are loaded in the system as MODS out of LST. 

Cradle Mtn Huts Walk

This is a 5 night/6 day walk that operates from Launceston daily during their peak times (based on booking numbers) and 2 – 3 times a week during their slightly slower periods.

This walk is the more challenging of the 2, covering 60 kms over the 5 days and the terrain itself is more varied and steep, but the pay off is the incredible views and the absolute wilderness experienced in this heritage listed National Park.

Their group sizes hit a maximum at 10 with 2 guides, there are private huts, 3 course dinners, and Tasmanian wines offered at the end of each day to relax while you take in your surroundings.

Picking up from Peppers Seaport, you travel to their orientation and checkin centre at Quamby estates then get bussed to Cradle Mountain for the start of your adventure. 

This is a truly unique experience and varied levels of fitness are catered for (with additional side trips off the tracks offered), but certainly something to prepare for. The maximum walking day is 12kms with and the terrain steep in some places, so get stair walking!

Bay of Fires Lodge Walk

This is the shorter and less strenuous option! 4 days/ 3 nights, 23kms and primarily flat! Sounds delightful doesn’t it? Throw in some stunning coastal views, beautiful lodge style accommodation (shared facilities), and you have yourself a gorgeous walking holiday.
