Three Capes Track, Port Arthur

#2 of 32 in Trails in Tasmania
Hiking Trail Nature / Park Must See
Edging along soaring cliff tops and winding in and out of flowering heathland and fragrant eucalypt forests, Three Capes Track combines the roughness of remote Tasmanian wilderness with comforts of modern living. Featuring wide and smooth trails, timber boardwalks, and stone steps, this ambitious 46 km (29 mi) track is dotted with 36 creative "story-seats." Even though this transformative journey across Australia's wild and remote natural landscape can take up to four days, there is no need to take tents or other camping equipment with you--each night you can enjoy the comfort of the luxurious environmentally-sensitive huts set along the way. Plan your visit to Three Capes Track and a wealth of other attractions, well-known and undiscovered, using our Port Arthur travel route planning site .
