The trail sits in the southeast of the Tasman Peninsula in an area full of sea cliffs, remarkable caves and world heritage sites. This is an absolutely stunning walk with views of Cape Huay, Tasman Island and more.
It can be a long day's hike as there are lots of stairs along the way, but in the end, the view is worth the hike! The rock stairs on the track are very well maintained, there are 800 steps up to the junction and then 1000 steps down.
If feeling super fit you can continue on to...

This spectacular trail begins with a pleasant bushwalk that quickly transforms into a beautiful, breathtaking adventure. The track ascends through open woodland to the cliff edge that can startle some walkers. The route then sticks to the staggering cliffs before travelling through heath and sparse forest.
The picturesque seaside vistas extend all the way to Cape Raoul with the dolerite cape plunging sharply down to the water below. The lookouts at the end of the cape provide visitors...

This is a brilliant hike taking you to Cape Raoul and Shipsterns Lookouts. Both looks offer sensational views of the coastline and cape in the stunning Tasman National Park.
The track is well-maintained with a few steps and well signposted paths. Expect sweeping coastal views of the rugged cliff edges and the waves breaking below. Plus an array of birdlife. If you're lucky you might spot a whale or dolphin swimming by.
There is parking, a shoe washing station, and public toilets near the...

Trail reviews for Tasman National Park
Spectacular views along this very easy trail. Compacted dirt the entire way. Best balance of views and ease of trail we have done in Tasmania. FYI, there are no falls at the end. Perhaps they are flowing at different times of the year, but there were no signs of them on June 1.
Parking: Entry fee
Tasman Arch to Waterfall Bay
Cape Pillar via the Old Trail was closed, as were all the southern tracks from Fortescue, due to fuel reduction burns, so head north to Bivouac Bay and north to Eagles Lookout. All up the out and back was just shy of 20km with some amazing views as always on the Tasman Peninsula.
Difficulty: Moderate
Bivouac Bay
The best of both worlds! One moment you are staring over the cliffs into the Tasman sea and the next you are hiking through the dense forest! Only one super steep long incline section once you get on the actual track.
Conditions: Blowdown, Great!, Obstructions, Well maintained
Tasman Coastal Trail to Waterfall Bluff
You can easily make this a short walk or a long trek, totally up to you and your preference. We started at the coastal trail car park and stood in awe at Tasman arch. From there we moved along the trail stopping at the different vantage points to view the sweeping views of the coastline. The beauty is beyond description and best experienced for yourself!! We stopped at waterfall bay before turning around due to wanting to enjoy a vineyard on our last day exploring Tasmania
Easy to moderate - just a sustained climb the first 1.25 km. We parked at Tasmans Arch and sunrise was gorgeous.
Conditions: Well maintained
