The landscape is amazing. The diversity in scenery, vegetation, paths makes the walks super interesting. The signage/information is well provided and clear. The signs are in a very good condition, well visible but only indicate the time required. This is not a very precise indication and it is based on a slow to medium pace. The weather may change fast, from windy to still, from sunny to cloudy with rain. The shuttles/buses are amazing, no long waits, friendly and patient bus drivers. The park is well prepared for the tourists and makes the stay very comfortable and safe. Good to use the toilet before starting a walk. Some beautiful flowers can be encountered during the walks.

Beautiful views and an amazing lake. It’s very well maintained. You have plenty of parking at visitors center and have to buy tickets. Post that they take you in their own vehicles. After reaching Dove lake there are plenty of treks. It’s a must visit place.

Cradle Mountain was an unreal hike. Parts of it were pretty strenuous with lots of steps and rocks to climb up but the views you get to see are totally worth it! Also keep an eye out for plenty of wombats and we even saw an echidna on our trail!

Out of my 9 days in Tasmania, Cradle Mountain easily takes the top spot as my favourite destination. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking! I did a long hike on the first day and another one the next morning, and both were incredible. The trails are manageable, even if you’re not a seasoned hiker, and the views make every step worth it. If you’re there around sunset, you’re in for a real treat – we spotted loads of wildlife, including wallabies, birds, and so many wombats! Cradle Mountain is an unforgettable experience and an absolute must for anyone visiting Tassie.

Lake St Clair in Tasmania is a serene gem, offering a peaceful ambiance and stunning views. If you seek tranquility surrounded by nature's beauty, this quiet lake is the perfect destination. Highly recommended for those who appreciate a calm retreat with breathtaking vistas.

Breathtaking scenery. If you want to see wombats ask the staff on the best spot to do so as they're very knowledgeable and helpful. You might even get lucky and spot a baby one too.

The natural beauty of this park is undeniable. We chose the Dove Lake Circuit, which was relatively easy and had gorgeous views. If you’re into photography, this spot will not disappoint. One downside is that the parking can be a bit chaotic during peak hours, so arriving early helps. Also, the weather can get unpredictable, so check the forecast. Bring plenty of water, too. It’s a good mix of peaceful walks and stunning scenery, making it worth the visit.
