Cradle Mountain & the Northwest
塔州深度游 · 5 天 4 晚 · 自然精华线
from AUD $1499
THE EXPERIENCE
Five days for travellers who came for the landscape rather than the history. It opens on Maria Island — no cars, no shops, wombats grazing among the ruins — then runs north through the east coast wildlife parks and Freycinet, up to Cradle Mountain and Dove Lake, and out to Stanley, where a 143-metre volcanic plug sits at the end of a sandspit in Bass Strait.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
Highlights
01
Cradle Mountain and Dove Lake — Tasmania''s defining alpine landscape, walked at your own pace.
02
Maria Island''s wombats, Natureworld''s devils, and platypus at close range in one itinerary.
03
Stanley''s Nut and the Rocky Cape coastline — the northwest edge most itineraries never reach.
