Walking the Three Capes Track – Tasmania’s Iconic Coastal Adventure
Experience one of Australia’s most spectacular coastal walks from the Tasman Peninsula.
The Three Capes Track is widely regarded as one of Australia’s most spectacular walking experiences, and for good reason. Stretching across the rugged coastline of the Tasman Peninsula, this world-class track showcases dramatic sea cliffs, sweeping ocean views, and pristine natural landscapes that are unlike anywhere else in the country.
The Track Experience
Designed to be accessible yet immersive, the Three Capes Track is a multi-day walk that allows hikers to experience Tasmania’s wild beauty in comfort. The track is well maintained, with purpose-built paths, lookout points, and eco-friendly accommodation along the way. Each day offers a new perspective, from towering dolerite cliffs to secluded beaches and windswept headlands.
For experienced walkers, completing the full track is a truly rewarding achievement. For others, shorter sections of the track and nearby walks provide an excellent opportunity to experience the landscape without committing to the full multi-day journey. Either way, the scenery is unforgettable.
Staying at Stewarts Bay Lodge
Stewarts Bay Lodge is an ideal base for anyone planning to explore the Three Capes Track. Guests can stay before or after their walk, enjoying comfortable accommodation, hot showers, and delicious meals — the perfect way to prepare for or recover from a day on the trail. The lodge’s peaceful setting also provides a welcome contrast to the rugged terrain of the track.
Best Times to Walk
Autumn and spring are particularly popular times to walk the Three Capes Track, with mild temperatures, fewer crowds, and stunning natural colours. Wildlife sightings are common, and the coastal views change constantly with the weather and light.
Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or simply want to experience part of one of Tasmania’s most iconic landscapes, the Three Capes Track is an unforgettable adventure — and one that pairs perfectly with a stay at Stewarts Bay Lodge.
