About this tour
A 10-hour day hike through Tasman National Park, centred on the moderate 9.4 km Cape Hauy walk (about 4 hours). You'll tackle one of Tasmania's 60 Great Short Walks, part of the celebrated Three Capes Track, with small groups capped at 15 people. The route delivers dramatic sea cliffs and rugged coastal scenery—a genuine taste of wild Tasmania without committing to the full multi-day trek.

What to expect
You'll be picked up and driven to Cape Hauy in an air-conditioned vehicle. The walk itself takes roughly 4 hours across a moderate 9.4 km route, with the scenery centred on dramatic coastal cliffs and Tasman National Park's raw landscape. You'll move at a group pace with a maximum of 15 people, so there's space to move without feeling crowded, though the actual experience of the cliffs and paths is the draw, not guided interpretation or structured stops.
After the hike, you return to the vehicle for the journey back. Total time commitment is 10 hours door-to-door. Water is provided, but you'll need to bring or purchase your own lunch and breakfast beforehand—neither is included.

Good to know
This suits active hikers comfortable with coastal terrain and moderate fitness demands. It's not suitable for pregnant travellers, those with spinal injuries, or anyone with poor cardiovascular health. The walk is exposed to weather, so prepare for wind and changing conditions typical of Tasmania's coast. Infant seats are available if needed, but check accessibility of the walking track itself with the operator. The hike is terrain-based rather than heavily guided, so self-sufficiency matters. Breakfast and lunch are not provided—plan food in advance. Group size is capped at 15, which helps maintain a calmer experience on a popular walk.
