DAY 3 Cradle Mountain National Park

Part of the gorgeous Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, Cradle Mountain is a vision of wild and spectacular natural beauty. Pristine glacial lakes, glass-like in appearance, mirror the still reflections of ancient and elegant pines as freshwater streams, ice-cold to the touch meander down the jutting mountains through green valleys cloaked in a luxuriant coating of thick moss. The ancient rainforest and beguiling alpine heathlands are eye-candy at its finest, the mountain's summit is dominated by alpine coral fern and buttongrass, its lower sections are home to wonderful Tasmanian eyebright, mountain rocket and cheshunt pine. You'll marvel at the wonderful wildlife, wombats, Tasmanian devils and pademelons are bountiful, and bird-lovers will love the black currawongs, pink robins and peregrine falcons that make their home here.

Today we travel to the top of Cradle Mountain. Go deep into the Tasmanian forest and experience the grand wilderness of waterfalls, glacial lakes, rainforest, wildlife and unsurpassed beauty. Awaken your senses to the magnificent splendour that is Cradle Mountain. Catch your breath as you first glimpse the craggy outcrop of majestic Cradle Mountain towering above sparkling Dove Lake plateau.

We tour through the lush green pastures south west of Launceston, admire the Great Western Tiers (collection of magnificent mountain bluffs in the northern Tasmanian Central Highlands), see the quaint and historical towns of Carrick, Hagley, Westbury and beautiful Deloraine (the hub between Launceston and Devonport), travel inland past Australian blue gum and pine plantations, we tour Sheffield (over sixty murals depicting the area's rich history and beautiful natural scenery have been painted on walls scattered throughout the town), traverse dense forest and mountainous terrain, we spot for wombats, potaroos and wallabies as we enter Cradle Mountain National Park, stop at Cradle Mountain Visitor Centre (for insights into the Cradle Mountain National Park). Stand in awe as you take in the powerful and majestic Cradle Mountain reigning over the picturesque Dove Lake. We take a short walk around Dove Lake taking in the views of Cradle Mountain and visit Waldheim Chalet (the forest home of Gustav Weindorfers), take a short stroll along the Enchanted Forest and walk viewing pencil pine (lush forest and a spectacular waterfall). On our way back to Launceston we stop at Ashgrove Cheese Farm (famous Tasmanian cheese, learn how cheese is made on the premises, sample the numerous varieties of cheese).

Breakfast, Luxury Coach Tour with Hotel Pick-Up, National Park Fee, Ashgrove Cheese Farm, Overnight Accommodation.

DAY 4 Tamar River Cruise & Special Lunch

Undertake a journey of splendour, excitement and history as you cruise Launceston's stunning Tamar River, Australia's longest navigable tidal estuary. You'll be mesmerised at the sheer beauty unfolding in front of you, gorgeous vineyards, bountiful orchards, rolling green hills and historic towns. See the wonderful local wildlife in their natural environment, pelicans, sea eagles, swans and seals abound here. As the river meanders its way through the paradisiacal surroundings you'll see the spectacular Cataract Gorge, the majestic sliver of natural beauty right in the heart of Launceston.
Today you will experience a truly memorably 4 hour river cruise along the Tamar River. You'll learn the fascinating history of the river and its surrounds with informative commentary from the skipper as you partake in morning tea, sample delicious local treats like cheese and fruit platters, enjoy local beer and wine tastings and your Special Lunch.

We cruise under the magical Cataract Gorge and through Launceston's riverfront precinct, head north past Tamar Island, historical buildings, churches, hotels and significant homesteads. Sample the rich diversity of life as we cruise past quaint riverfront communities, vineyards and farms to the notable Batman Bridge. The Tamar Valley is steeped with romance and studded with bushrangers, explorers and tales of gold diggers. Your delicious Special Lunch features fresh local produce and is served onboard the vessel as the remarkable views of the Tamar Valley gently pass you by. Australia's longest navigable estuarine river has many natural coves and protected inlets which provide sanctuary for thousands of native water birds that can only be seen on the river. Your modern luxurious vessel is open-plan with spacious lounges throughout and onboard bathroom facilities. You can move between the outer, upper and lower decks with ease. The open wheelhouse policy means you are welcome to sit with the Skipper in comfort.
