Overland Track

The Overland Track is one of the worlds Greatest Walks. It connects the iconic Cradle Mountain with Lake St Clair.

This national Park is part of the Tasmanian World Heritage area. What makes this walk renowned is its "wilderness" landscape. What is mostly significant about the landscape is its glaciation, amazing beauty, unique natural and cultural values.

Your guided walk starts at Cradle Valley and snakes its way through rainforests and past craggy mountain peaks and alpine moors to Lake St Clair. Your walk is over 5 nights and 6 days and this style of tour is camping in twin share four season tents on specially constructed timber platforms.

Our itineraries are well researched thus giving you time to do many side trips such as climbing Tasmania's highest Peak - Mt Ossa and visiting the many waterfalls en-route.

We strive to make your walk as comfortable as we can. You will only need to carry your own sleeping bag, sleeping mat, personal gear, a share of your tent accommodation and your own personal rations. Your pack should not weigh more than 13.5kg.
