Three Capes Track is an extraordinary multi-day adventure in Tasmania’s far southeast. The trail explores Tasman National Park, as it hugs the peninsula’s rugged coastline. There are limited slots available for hikers each day, so please book in advance to ensure entry.
The scenery along the trail is exceptional with epic views of pristine coastline and the chance to spot whales and dolphins from one of the many lookouts along the way. The track surface varies throughout the walk, including gravel tracks, timber boardwalks, and stone steps.
Hikers must stay one night at each designated overnight stop. Cabins and communal quarters are located at each overnight stop and are well-equipped with mattresses, gas stoves, drinking water, heating, and seating.
The route mapped here is day two of the hike. Day two is a little more challenging than day one but features gorgeous scenery to keep you entertained.
Enjoy the aromatic eucalyptus trees, vibrant heathlands, and golden moorlands. Depending on the day’s weather you may get breath-taking views of the glittering Crescent Bay and Cape Raoul as you ascend Arthur’s Peak.
After Arthur’s Peak, you’ll leave Crescent Mountain’s wooded slopes and cross the wide, windswept Ellarwey Valley on your way to Munro Cabin where you will spend your second evening.
