Rainforest Tracks and Mountain Air

This is a hiking-focused trip, so come prepared to walk on varied terrain over several days. The distances are manageable for active travelers, but the trails may include rainforest paths, coastal sections, steps, wet ground, uneven surfaces and changeable mountain conditions.

Good mobility and a solid fitness base will make the trip much more enjoyable. Proper walking shoes are important, and walking poles may be helpful if you like extra stability on damp or uneven trails.

Tasmanian weather can shift quickly, especially around rainforest and mountain areas. Pack clothing for rain, wind, cool evenings and occasional warmer spells, even if the forecast looks calm before departure.

The trip includes shared cottage and cabin arrangements. A single supplement may provide your own bedroom where available, but it may not always mean a private bathroom because of the accommodation style used in remote areas.

Visa information tools can be useful starting points, but travelers are responsible for confirming full entry and transit requirements for their own passport. Third-party visa services may charge additional fees.

Accommodation is a mix of hotel, cottage and cabin stays: one night in a hotel, two nights in cottages and two nights in cabins. The remote stays are part of the charm of the trip, especially in Corinna and the Cradle Mountain area, but they are simpler and more communal than a standard city hotel.

In Corinna, cottages are individually arranged with two private bedrooms and one shared bathroom. At Cradle Mountain, cabins also have two bedrooms and one bathroom shared between them. A single supplement gives you your own bedroom when available, but the bathroom may still be shared.

Joining point: Leisure Inn Penny Royal, 147 Paterson Street, Launceston, Australia.

The trip begins with a 6 pm welcome meeting on Day 1 at the joining point hotel. Plan to arrive in Launceston with enough time to check in, settle in and attend the meeting.
