Where: the Tasman Peninsula in south-east Tasmania
Duration: 4 days / 3 nights
Distance: 48km (30mi)
Grade: Moderate
Tasmania’s dramatic Tasman Peninsula often feels like the edge of the world, with the wild Southern Ocean crashing on towering coastal cliffs and hidden sea caves. Take in the spectacularly wild Tasmanian scenery on the Three Capes Signature Walk as you walk through forest and bush along the coast. You’ll experience a boat voyage, dolerite spires and fine Tasmanian food and drink before settling in each evening in simple yet sustainable in-park lodges. Tasmanian Walking Company is the only guided company authorised to offer the Three Capes Track and stay within the national park each night.

Ready to walk the world’s edge? Journey along some of the world’s highest sea cliffs with The Three Capes Signature Walk, the only fully guided Three Capes Track experience with accommodation inside the National Park. The experience begins with salty wind in your hair – a boat cruise across to Denman’s Cove. It’s then onward to Crescent Bay Lodge, sitting loftily with views across to Cape Raoul.
Day two includes summiting Arthurs Peak (keep an eye out for sea eagles), making our way to Cape Pillar Lodge, home for the next two nights. Perhaps a massage or invigorating plunge bath while dinner is being prepared? Your pick for day three – an adventure through silver gum forest out to Cape Pillar and the infamous Blade or lazing the day away at the lodge. We must say, the views out to Tasman Island from the Blade are something else.
Those with plenty of kilometres left in the legs can take a side trip on the final day out to Cape Hauy while others can choose a direct route to Fortescue Bay. From here, we’ll take you back to Hobart where we’ll raise a glass to our four days well spent!
