Cradle Mountain 2-Day Tour
Cradle Mountain rewards those who stay. Over two days you can catch sunrise and sunset on Dove Lake, watch wombats at Ronny Creek in the soft light of dawn and dusk, wander ancient rainforest and take on a bigger walk — even a weather-permitting summit attempt. We handle the drive from Launceston, the park pass, the shuttle and your overnight stay. Family-owned since 1974, tailored and quoted per enquiry.
Across Two Days
Dove Lake & Rainforest
The lake beneath the jagged peak, the boatshed and mossy short walks.
Wildlife at Ronny Creek
Wombats, wallabies and pademelons in the evening, plus devils nearby.
Summit or Marions
A weather-permitting summit attempt, or the climb to Marions Lookout.
Waldheim & Weindorfer
The chalet and the man who called for “a national park for all time”.

2-Day Tour — FAQ
Why choose a two-day tour over a day trip?
Two days let you slow down and see more — sunrise and sunset light on Dove Lake, wildlife at dawn and dusk, and time for a bigger walk such as Marions Lookout. A day tour covers the icon; two days let it breathe.
What is the itinerary?
A typical shape is Dove Lake and short rainforest walks on day one, with wildlife at dusk, then a longer walk or a weather-permitting summit attempt on day two. We tailor it to your fitness and interests and confirm the plan when you enquire — get in touch.
Where do we stay?
You stay overnight near the park so you’re on the spot for early light and evening wildlife. We arrange accommodation to suit your group — see where to stay. Check current availability, as rooms near the park book out.
Can we see Tasmanian devils and wombats?
Very likely — wombats graze at Ronny Creek at dawn and dusk, alongside wallabies, echidnas and pademelons, and there is a Tasmanian devil sanctuary nearby. Staying overnight gives the best chance of quiet wildlife moments.
Is the summit climb included?
It can be, weather permitting — the Cradle summit is a hard, exposed full-day scramble with chain sections, so we only attempt it in good conditions and for those who are fit. If it’s not on, we substitute a great alternative. Tours are quoted per enquiry.
