This itinerary will be replacing the six-day Cradle Mountain Signature Walk from 1st July 2024.
If you are walking or want to walk before 1st July 2024, please view our six-day walk.

Tasmania’s Overland Track is famous the world over and our signature trip is the way to experience it in classic style. Across seven days, our most popular Overland experience completes the full journey from World Heritage-listed Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair.

The fully guided walk begins at Red Feather Inn outside of Launceston, where we meet for a welcome dinner and briefing the night before we start the journey to Cradle Mountain. Over the next six days, we take you on a journey over the 65 kilometres through to Lake St Clair, Australia’s deepest natural lake. Our signature adventure does not include multiple side trips, but there is the opportunity on Day 4 to summit Mount Ossa.

Come join our most loved iconic walk.
