Experience Overview
Take on the challenge of Australia’s most famous trek – the Cradle Mountain Overland track – and take in some of Tasmania’s most stunning scenery.
Take on the challenge of Australia’s most famous trek – the Cradle Mountain Overland track – and take in some of Tasmania’s most stunning scenery. With two expert mountain guides at your side, you’ll make your way through temperate rainforest and groves of eucalypts, across alpine moors and through valleys. Skirt the edges of bright blue lakes and take in views of waterfalls and towering peaks in the distance. Camp on the edges of historic huts under star-filled skies, wake up to dramatic landscapes and take the chance to tackle side trips like summitting the island’s highest peak Mt Ossa. This active adventure is one of the best ways to take in this iconic landscape.
Highlights
- Hike along the Overland Track in Cradle Mountain and soak in the gorgeous Australian landscape in leafy Tassie.
- Don’t sweat the small stuff! With everything taken care of, you’re free to make the most of the incredible scenery as you make your way along one of Australia’s most iconic trails.
- Leave all the organisation to the experts – from tickets and permits to camping gear – and chill out in your comfortable all-season tents, with all sleeping gear and cooking equipment provided.
- Make the most of the local knowledge of two expert mountain guides along the way, and you’ll never take a wrong turn.
- Enjoy the flexibility to tackle the trek as you like – take the main track for a more leisurely hike or add on a side trip like summitting Cradle Mountain or Mt Ossa for an extra challenge.

wonderful hiking trip, i highly recommend.

This trip was perfection. Six days of pure fresh air, epic views, phone in flight mode and great company. The weather helped but even so my favourite day was the day the icy rain pelted down, and we were surrounded by nothing by cloud, button grass, thunder and lightning - what a way to feel alive. Everything we needed we had and guides were attentive and knowledgeable and there was plenty of time to enjoy the walk and the scenery.

Senna and her team from Tasmanian Hikes were fantastic. It's a tough hike for sure but everything from the food to the guides was amazing. Highly recommended if you are after a challenging but rewarding bucket list experience.

Fantastic experience - Josh & Louie were exceptional guides, food by Senna was excellent considering it all had to be carried on the trek, communication was first class, and the track lives up to its reputation. We had beautiful sunny days on top of the mountains & snow in the rainforest. Couldn't have asked for more.

What an amazing trip in the Tasmanian wilderness. We had a fantastic group. The coordinators Stan and Senna were terrific, really enjoyed the pre-prepared meals. And lastly the local guides Josh and Louis made the whole trip organised and memorable. Kudos!

If you are looking for a camping adventure- this is a great trip with the best of Tasmania’s alpine country. Food was great and 6 days in the wilderness was beautiful. Pack warm in the colder months and take the hiking poles!

My journey along Tasmania's Overland Track with Intrepid was nothing short of transformative. It ignited a deep appreciation for the beauty of nature, the richness of indigenous culture, and the importance of sustainable travel. For anyone who shares a love for nature, hiking, and authentic experiences, I wholeheartedly recommend embarking on this unforgettable adventure.

Trip of a life time. Everything from the views, guides, group and food was sensational.

I had the best time doing the Overland Track in February with our guides Josh and Louis. We had mostly amazing weather, a great group of people and overall a really enjoyable experience in beautiful surroundings.

Meeting at 2 p.m. before the official tour began and conducting a preliminary inspection was very important for the six-day tour. I think it would have been very difficult without such a preliminary inspection through Stan. As the tour began, two mountain guides led the nine-member group. I would like to express my respect to the two mountain guides, Samson and Adam. They were faithful to guiding the Overland track's optimized path. They were also amazing tour leaders who played various roles, ranging from explaining historical places, delivering extensive knowledge of animals and plants, preparing meals, and giving careful consideration to safety. It will not be easy to maximize the joy of a meal with a small amount of food ingredients in the mountains for six days. I would also like to thank Senna for setting up a diet that was the driving force behind making me go a long way with every meal. Once again, I would like to thank Intrepid's program for giving me unforgettable experiences on the Overland track for five nights and six days. P.S As a Korean, I think there will be a lot of Koreans who will like this tour.
