There are a few ways to get to the top of Mt Roland in Tasmania, and they have varying degrees of difficulty. The most common route leaves Gowrie Park via O’Neil’s Road. The trail initially follows a wide access track for about an hour before you cross a small creek and scramble through the steepest section, which takes you up the central valley to a large saddle (900m).

From there take the left (signposted) to Mt Roland. Heading right takes you along the other ridge to a different starting point for those that want to make a loop out of it and hike Mount Van Dyke.

After a scenic mission along high alpine boardwalks and through endemic alpine vegetation, you’ll scramble over the large boulders of Mt Roland Massif and, on a clear day, gain spectacular views all the way to Bass Strait.

Distance: 10km return
Duration: 4.5 – 6 hours
Skill level: Intermediate
Closest town: Meander

The Meander Falls track, part of the Meander Forest reserve in Tasmania’s Wilderness World Heritage Area, is a challenging out-and-back 10km day walk considered one of Tasmania’s ‘60 Great Short Walks’, taking around 4.5-6 hours to complete.

The enchanting climb takes you through lush rainforest, past multiple waterfalls, and offers killer views of your end goal – an enchanting 130m-tall waterfall that freezes over in winter.

Combine it with the Split Rock Track to create a more challenging, but incredibly rewarding, 10.3km circuit for one epic Tasmanian adventure. If you take this optional extension it’s best to allow extra time due to the tricky scramble and navigation over the scree field.

To catch the waterfall while it’s frozen, visit in winter between June and August.

9. Trowutta Arch

The trail winds through luscious rainforest, before reaching the magnificent natural archway and the pool below.

Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park & Central Highlands

10. Cradle Mountain Summit

Location: Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park
Distance: 12.5km
Duration: 7 hours
Skill level: Advanced
Closest town: Cradle Mountain Village

The 12.5km Cradle Mountain Summit hike, located about 65km from Sheffield, is a Grade 5 trek in the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, Tasmania. It takes around seven hours to complete, depending on the chosen route.

As well as being a popular day hike, it’s also a side trip on day one of the popular Overland Track. While you won’t see anywhere near as many wombats as you would in the Maria Island National Park, you’ll definitely see some lumbering furballs along the way.

The hike often surprises trekkers with a deceptively dangerous climb to reach the summit. You’ll need to use your arms to pull yourself up in places and it’s not for the faint of heart. If you’re attempting this as part of the Overland Track, make sure to factor in extra water as there are limited places to refill.

Distance: 9.4km
Duration: 3.5-4 hours

The Cape Hauy hike is a challenging but well-marked 9.4km return trail that starts from the very pretty Fortescue Bay on Turrakana/Tasman Peninsula. The start of the trail is 96km from Hobart – about a 1.5 hour drive.

While you can reach Cape Hauy as part of the Three Capes Track (either independently or with the Tasmanian Walking Company) you can also head out there on a standalone day hike. And it doesn’t disappoint!

14. Wineglass Bay Walk

Location: Freycinet National Park
Distance: 9.3km return
Duration: 2.5-3 hours
Skill level: Beginner – Intermediate
Closest town: Coles Bay

The stunning Wineglass Bay Walk is located a 2.5-hour drive from Hobart or 55 minutes from Swansea, a quaint seaside village with so much charm it makes for a great base point. As a Grade 3 walk, it takes between 2-3 hours to complete, but with a campsite at the base and a raft of other trails at your fingertips, you’ll definitely want to lengthen your stay!

@_anna_wall

The trail encompasses a hike up to the Wineglass Bay Lookout and then a hike down to the squeaky white sand beaches and crystal waters of the bay itself. There’s no private accommodation, private huts, or private lodges along the trail – it’s been kept blissfully natural with only campsites for hikers doing the Freycinet Peninsula Loop.

With views rivalling the Three Capes Track, Maria Island, and Overland Track, it’s well worth a tramp.

15. Mt Amos

Location: Freycinet National Park
Distance: 4km
Duration: 3-5 hours
Skill level: Advanced
Closest town: Coles Bay

The trail to the top of Mt Amos is 4km long. It’s a Grade 4 hike located in the Freycinet National Park in Tasmania. The climb should take most people about 3-5 hours to complete.

Hikers are rewarded with stunning views over the white sand beaches of the wineglass-shaped award-winning bay and Oyster Bay, as well as the wider Freycinet Peninsula.

Like the tough South Coast Track, climbing Mt Amos is not for the faint of heart – the track climbs steeply and if it’s been raining the bare rock scrambling near the top is extremely dangerous. If the track is wet play it safe and choose another trail.

The Grade 3 trail is a 6.6km circuit that climbs from a bay to the top of a dolerite cliff, encapsulating the best parts of Bruny Island’s ancient rainforests along the way.

The Fluted Cape Walk covers diverse terrains with spectacular coastal views. While the 2.5-3 hour trail is steep and rugged in most parts, the expansive views of the seemingly infinite sea at the top of the 270m tall dolerite cliffs of the Fluted Cape are worth the climb.

17. Cape Queen Elizabeth

18. Ansons Bay

The out-and-back hike from Ansons Bay to larapuna/Eddystone Point Lighthouse in Tasmania’s northeast is a 4-5 hour return hike totalling 18km. Considered moderately challenging, the walk encompasses wetlands, rocks, low scrub, beach sand, and that famous Tasmanian wilderness.

This part of the world is beloved by those who live and holiday here. The town of Ansons Bay (population 62) has a sign at the entrance that reads ‘Ansons Bay – Remote Paradise’ and it could be the land time forgot: accessible only via gravel roads, it has no shops, not everyone has electricity, and mobile reception is selective depending on where you’re standing.

If you time your trip to catch the sunrise across the red rocks of the Bay of Fires, you’ll be standing at the foot of one of Australia’s oldest lighthouses in time for breakfast!

Take a hike back in time through untouched native flora and ancient alpine lakes on the Tarn Shelf Circuit Hike. The trail is a great combination of rock-hopping, floating boardwalks, cliffs, and open alpine plateau, and will delight even the most worldly of hikers.

Mount Field National Park is just under 1.5 hour’s drive from Hobart, with the trailhead another 25 minutes up a steep mountain road. From there you’ll follow the Urquhart Track across the edge of the lake and up to Mount Mawson Ski Field. The most physically challenging part of the hike is the steep climb from the car park to the ski lodge, where the circuit begins. Navigation is generally quite easy after that.

Mount Sprent trail is a 6km return, Grade 3 hike located in Southwest National Park in Tasmania. The hike should take around 6-7 hours to complete.

You can camp near the summit if you want to turn it into an overnight trip too.

The 3-4 hours it takes to get to the 880m peak is well worth the 653m climb. It’s one heck of a way to spend a morning while visiting Tasmania‘s capital.

At the top, you’re treated to views of the south of kunanyi/Mount Wellington, the entire Greater Hobart region, and the Southwest National Park including Hart, Federation, and Adamsons peaks beckoning to be bagged next.

Exploring the town’s remains is the cherry on top of an easy and stunning walk through mossy West Coast rainforest. A fungi fan’s dream, time your trip for mushroom season to see the track filled with hundreds if not thousands of different varieties of mushrooms. You’ll want your camera ready and plenty of spare time to capture all that’s on offer.

On a bad day you’ll get real close and personal with clouds, so make sure you check the forecast and brace yourself for a potential washout!

FAQs Day Hikes Tasmania

What are the best day hikes in Freycinet National Park?

Freycinet National Park offers some of Tasmania’s most spectacular beaches and stunning coastal scenery. The Wineglass Bay Lookout hike is a must-do, providing epic views of the famous bay. For a longer option, the Hazards Beach Circuit combines forest trails, granite mountains, and white sand beaches, making it one of the most scenic walks on Tasmania’s East Coast.

What’s the best short walk on Maria Island?

The Maria Island Walk is a multi-day experience, but the shorter Bishop and Clerk trail offers panoramic views of the Southern Ocean and dramatic sea cliffs. Along the way, you’ll spot heaps of wombats and native birds, thanks to the efforts of the Wildlife Service in preserving the island’s unique ecosystem.

Is there a challenging day hike that offers views of the Overland Track?

Yes! The Dove Lake Circuit in Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park gives a spectacular view of Cradle Mountain, which hikers pass on day one of the Overland Track. While the circuit itself is quite suitable for beginners, hikers looking for a challenge can ascend to Marion’s Lookout for a higher vantage point.

Where is Jerusalem National Park?

Jerusalem National Park is located in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area and is home to the famous multi-day walk, the Walls of Jerusalem. Jerusalem National Park is less visited than the Overland Track and Cradle Mountain National Park, making it a great choice for those seeking solitude in the Tassie wilderness.

What is the best coastal day hike in Tasmania?

The Three Capes Track is a world-famous multi-day trek, but you can experience part of it on a day hike to Cape Hauy or Cape Pillar. The Capes Track offers dramatic cliffs, wild ocean views, and windswept landscapes shaped by the Southern Ocean.

Is there a day hike that explores Tasmania’s tallest flowering plants?

The Russell Falls walk in Mount Field National Park is one of the best short hikes to see Tasmania’s tallest flowering plants, the swamp gums. As a Grade 1 trail it’s a relatively easy walk and is also wheelchair accessible provided there is someone to assist.

What’s a great wilderness day hike that isn’t on the Overland Track?

For a truly remote adventure, consider a section of the South Coast Track, though most of it is a multi-day trek. Another fantastic wilderness hike is exploring the Franklin River region, which offers a glimpse into the heart of the Tasmanian wilderness.

Where can I find luxury hiking accommodation in Tasmania?

If you’re hiking the Overland Track, the Cradle Mountain Huts are luxury lodgings that hikers can enjoy along the way. If you’re seeking only private accommodation perhaps consider staying at Lake St Claire and completing day hikes. The guided Maria Island Walk includes stunning coastal scenery and luxury accommodation while exploring the island’s incredible landscapes.

Is there a hike on Bruny Island worth doing?

Bruny Island is home to several beautiful hikes, but the Fluted Cape Walk is the standout. It offers dramatic coastal views and a chance to see some of the island’s unique wildlife, which the local Wildlife Service helps protect.

What’s the best hike to see Tasmania’s dramatic sea cliffs?

The Three Capes Track is the ultimate hike for experiencing Tasmania’s towering sea cliffs. If you don’t have time for the full trek, a shorter section of the Capes Track still offers breathtaking views over the rugged coastline.
