The Tasman National Park protects the eastern and southern coastal regions of both the Tasman and Forestier peninsulas and also encompasses all of Tasman Island. Only 1.5 hours from Hobart, the park is home to Australia's highest sea cliffs, which can be admired from several well-graded tracks. Another fun fact for this tiny geographically isolated area: over one third of Tasmania's plant species grow here! Including more than sixty threatened species. From scenic eucalypt forests to colourful coastal heathlands, you're bound to enjoy the landscape. This natural diversity provides the perfect platform for an equally rich and diverse wildlife and birdlife to flourish. Common sightings include wedge-tailed eagles, swift parrots, wombats, wallabies, bandicoots, possums, quolls, bettongs, and the ever-increasing population of Tasmanian devils!

Great conditionsGreat views

A stunning walk on one of Tasmania’s famous Three Capes. Many steep steps but definitely accessible to most including kids although younger children might struggle. Park facilities and public toilets available. Lots of variety in this walk. The dirt road leading to Fortescue Bay is rough in spots with many pit holes just drive to the speed limit and conditions. Awesome walk and highly recommended. Took us 3 and a half hours with many stops along the way. Suggested time is 4 hours.

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.

Great views

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

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.

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
