Three Capes Track Overview and Itinerary
ADVENTURE OVERVIEW
Journey through the rugged southeast coast of Tasmania on this fully supported and professionally guided Three Capes Track 4-day adventure. Discover the pristine and wild Tasman National Park with a new and different adventure each day.
Witness the towering cliff faces of the Three Capes Track and Tasman Peninsula, home to the awe-inspiring and famous Three Capes. Made up of Cape Raoul, Cape Hauy and Cape Pillar, the Three Capes are considered by many to be some of the most unique coastal landmarks in Australia – if not the world.
You will explore a large part of the Three Capes and the Tasman Peninsula on foot — and on the final day, by boat — giving you a truly diverse perspective of this spectacular coastal region. Along the way, you’ll traverse part of the Tasman Coastal Trail, walking to Waterfall Bluff to take in its dramatic sea cliffs and expansive ocean views before crossing to the other side of the Capes. There, you’ll experience the wild beauty of Crescent Bay with its sweeping dunes and turquoise surf, and walk up Mt Brown for panoramic views that stretch across Cape Raoul, Cape Pillar, and the vast Southern Ocean — a fitting highlight to your Four-Day Three Capes adventure.
On the final day, you’ll head to the water for a three-hour wilderness cruise of Tasman Island, Cape Pillar and the coastline up to Eaglehawk Neck with award-winning Pennicott Wilderness Journeys. Get closer to the local sea life that calls this beautiful and untouched region home.
You’ll get to experience the best of what the Three Capes Track and Tasman Peninsula have to offer each day, and then head back to your four-star accommodation at Stewarts Bay Lodge in Port Arthur to refresh, dine on seasonal meals made from local produce, and prepare for your next day’s exploration. Stewarts Bay Lodge is nestled between the beach and the forest, where you will sleep to the sound of the calming ocean amongst the World Heritage National Park.

DAY 1 - HOBART TO STEWARTS BAY LODGE - CAPE HAUY
Day 1 – Meet in the foyer of the Hotel Grand Chancellor in Hobart at 7:15 AM. Our private bus will drive the team to the Three Capes and the Tasman Peninsula. Your accommodation for the four days will be at the Stewarts Bay Lodge, situated on Stewarts Bay next to Port Arthur.
Mid-Morning Trek – Cape Hauy
Walking Time: 4-5 hours (will vary depending on team speed, breaks, etc.)
Distance: 9.4km (return)
Meals Included: morning tea & pre-packed lunch & trail snacks prepared by On the Bay. Dinner at One The Bay
Accommodation: 2 bedroom chalet Stewarts Bay Lodge – twin share
We will meet in the foyer of the Hotel Grand Chancellor in Hobart at 7:15 AM for our transfer to the Tasman Peninsula. As a suggestion, we recommend staying there as it makes for an easy meeting place and transfer for you, but if not, we highly recommend staying in a nearby hotel.
The bus ride to Port Arthur is approximately 90 minutes. When you arrive at Stewarts Bay Lodge, it will be too early to check-in. Instead, we will store our luggage and start preparing for the first leg of the adventure – a walk to Cape Hauy. We suggest having your daypacks ready when you leave Hobart.
When you arrive at the lodge at around 9:00 AM, you’ll be provided with a packed lunch freshly prepared by the chefs at the lodge, including trail snacks. We also recommend bringing some of your favourite snacks for the day treks and a small thermos (500ml) that can hold pre-made coffee, soup or hot water to make coffee or tea whilst on the track. Finally, you’ll head off from the lodge for the Cape Hauy trek at around 10:00 AM for a 25-minute bus ride to the departure point at Fortescue Bay.
There are a few stairs to navigate on the Cape Hauy trek and a return trek back to Fortescue Bay once we reach the end of Cape Hauy. However, the route is well-groomed, and the steps are short in height, making climbing easier. When training for any multi-day adventures, steep hill work should be a regular part of your training program, not just walking on flat sections.
The first part of the walk is through the sclerophyll forests before the track starts to head down into Cape Hauy, where the forest opens up to breathtaking coastal views. Cape Hauy is home to the famous Candlestick and Totem Pole rock features, which are giant columns of dolerite rock protruding from the ocean and are popular climbing and abseiling features. At the edge of Cape Hauy, you’ll also see the Hippolyte and Cheverton rock formations, which are large formations of rock that sit severed from the mainland.
After taking in the fantastic views and unique rock features along Cape Hauy, we will return to the bus for the 25-minute ride back to our hotel to check in. We expect to have you back at your hotel to check in by about 4:00 PM or later. After settling into your room, dinner will commence at 6:30 PM, where you’ll enjoy a beautifully cooked restaurant dinner at On The Bay made from local produce. This will be an excellent opportunity to relax and kick back with your fellow trekkers over a local wine or two.
DAY 2 - CAPE RAOUL
Day 2 – Trek Cape Raoul
Walking Time: 5 hours (will vary depending on team speed, breaks, etc.)
Distance: 15km (return) + side trip (Shipstern Bluff)
Meals Included: breakfast at On the Bay. Morning tea & pre-packed lunch & trail snacks prepared by On the Bay. Dinner at 1830 restaurant
Accommodation: bush set chalet Stewarts Bay Lodge – twin share
Today is a trek to Cape Raoul, offering spectacular coastal lookouts of the Tasman Peninsula. It’s a moderately easy but undulating path, but there is a hill section from the top of Cape Raoul to the plateau; apart from that, the route is very well-groomed. The return journey takes approximately five hours to complete, allowing us plenty of time to relax, enjoy lunch prepared by the restaurant, and take in the vistas of the surrounding Three Capes Track and Tasman Peninsula.
Heading off after breakfast at 8:30 AM, the bus ride to the start of the track is 25 minutes. However, you won’t have to go too far before being rewarded with a view of the famous and incredible dolerite cliffs. This area has recorded some of the strongest wind speeds in the world, so fasten your hats!
On the way to the tip of Cape Raoul, the sweeping views will continue to open up along the plateau, revealing the towering cliffs along the rugged coastline. You will see as far north to Cape Pillar, the easternmost cape of the Three Cape Track and south to the ever-popular holiday destination of Bruny Island. Cape Raoul is famous for its dolerite organ pipes, and you won’t be disappointed when you see them up close, towering into the sky from the ocean.
At the tip of Cape Raoul, you will take in the majestic views and enjoy lunch before we head back to the bus, where we expect to return to the lodge by 4:00 PM. Then, you will have time to rest and prepare for dinner. Take it a little easy on the famous Tasmanian wine, though, because tomorrow morning will be our longest day trek from Waterfall Bay to Fortescue Bay.
DAY 3 - WATERFALL BLUFF, CRESCENT BAY & MT BROWN
Day 3 – Trek Waterfall Bluff, Crescent Bay & Mt Brown
Walking Time: 6 hours in total (will vary depending on team speed, breaks, etc.)
Distance: 12km (Two different walks)
Meals Included: breakfast at On the Bay. Morning tea & pre-packed lunch & trail snacks prepared by On the Bay. Dinner at On the Bay
Accommodation: 2 bedroom chalet Stewarts Bay Lodge – twin share
Today delivers some of the best coastal landscapes on the Tasman Peninsula — from rugged sea cliffs to quiet beaches and scenic headlands.
After breakfast, we depart Stewarts Bay Lodge for a 30-minute drive to the start of the Waterfall Bluff trail, which is part of the Tasman Coastal Trail. The morning trek follows a striking stretch of coastline, with views back toward Eaglehawk Neck and the cliffs of Tasman National Park. After spending some time at Waterfall Bluff and enjoying the outlook, we return to the bus and take a 40-minute transfer to the Mt Brown / Crescent Bay trailhead.
We’ll stop for lunch before setting out toward Crescent Bay & Mt Brown — a beautiful, often quiet beach surrounded by coastal heath and rolling dunes. As we make our way along the track, Mt Brown rises ahead, marking the next stage of the walk. The trail opens to reveal an arc of pale sand and clear surf edged by rocky cliffs.
After some time to relax and explore the bay, we continue the afternoon trek up Mt Brown — a steady climb that offers broad views across Cape Raoul, Cape Pillar, and the Southern Ocean.
By late afternoon, we return to Stewarts Bay Lodge to unwind and enjoy dinner at On the Bay restaurant.
DAY 4 - WILDERNESS CRUISE - TASMAN ARCH - HOBART
Day 4 – Morning Wilderness Cruise (Optional) – Afternoon Tasman Arch and Devils Kitchen Walk – Return to Hobart
Walking Time: 20 minutes (this is a very easy walk around Tasman Arch and Devils Kitchen)
Distance: 500m
Wilderness Cruise Time: 3 hours – departs at 9:15 AM (Optional extra if prone to seasickness – refer below for other activity option)
Meals Included: breakfast at On The Bay. Lunch at Lufra Hotel after the wilderness cruise will be at your own cost.
Leaving the best till last, today first up is a three-hour wilderness cruise with the award-winning Pennicott Wilderness Journeys exploring the sea cliffs up close and personal around Tasman Island and Cape Pillar, which is the easternmost cape of the Three Capes Track. If time permits, we might have a walk around the famous Tasman Arch and Devils Kitchen, which is situated on Eaglehawk Neck and in the township of Doo Town. We will have lunch at Lufra Hotel at Eagle Hawk Neck before returning to Hobart.
The three-hour wilderness cruise is an added extra to our adventure itinerary when making the booking because we know some people suffer from severe seasickness. Therefore, we have provided alternative options instead of the wilderness cruise further below.
After breakfast, we will head off at around 8:45 AM from the resort for a 5-minute bus ride to the Pennicott Wilderness booking office in Port Arthur. We will store our main luggage at the resort reception, ready to collect in the afternoon for the return trip back to Hobart.
The wilderness cruise departs at 10:00 AM, but the team must be booked in by 9:15 AM at the latest for departure. Next to the wilderness cruise departure office in Port Arthur, there is a shop if you want to grab some snacks or drinks for the cruise.
The Pennicott Wilderness Journeys’ departure facility is close to Port Arthur, so we will manage the extra time to ensure you are there by 9:00 AM. The three-hour wilderness cruise operates in the water from Port Arthur to Eaglehawk Neck. You will get up close and personal with the towering sea cliffs, dolomites, and the abundant and diverse sea life around Tasman Island and Cape Pillar. Pennicott Wilderness Journeys is an award-winning cruise operator in Tasmania. You can read more about them and the wilderness cruise on their website: Pennicott Wilderness Journey Website
For those who may choose not to do the wilderness cruise, you have the option of the following activity in the morning:
- A tour of the Port Arthur historic settlement, and relax around the Port Arthur area
After your wilderness cruise or alternative activity, the team will rejoin, and we will make our way by bus to Eaglehawk Neck, a 20-minute bus ride, and have lunch at Lufura Bistro. Depending on the wind, the wilderness cruise will arrive back at Eaglehawk Neck, where our private bus will meet you. Time permitting, we might walk around the Tasman Arch and Devil’s Kitchen tourist walk, which is a 20-minute walk. After the short walk, you will be transferred back to Hobart for your flight or to the Hotel Grand Chancellor, our drop-off point. Those who have flights will be dropped off first. The bus ride back to Hobart is around 90 minutes long, so we will have you at Hobart Airport at 4:00 PM at the latest. From the airport, we arrive back at the Grand Chancellor Hotel by around 4:30 PM. We recommend staying at the Hotel Grand Chancellor or a hotel nearby.

FAQ’S
If there’s a question that we haven’t covered for you, we are just an email or phone call away.
Adventure Dates
How often do you run the adventure?
At this stage, we are building up our adventure operations on Tasmania's southeast coast, including the Three Capes Track and Tasman Peninsula. Given that it's daypack only and day walks out of an established accommodation base, we have the capacity, subject to accommodation availability, to run a monthly departure during the main walking season (August to May). We feel that the quieter off-season walking months in Tasmania are some of the best periods for walking through popular destinations, which is why we have opted to run this adventure from August to May.
Please also check our Facebook and Instagram feeds because we also announce new adventure dates there as well.
What if the fixed dates don't work? Can you organise a group custom adventure?
Yes, if the dates that we have organised don't work, we can organise a custom date that would suit you. We would only do this for groups of 8 or more only.
What is the best time of year to walk in Tasmania and the Three Capes Track?
From our perspective, we believe Tasmania can be walked all year round, depending on the adventure location and the operator's experience. You will generally find the colder months between June and September are much quieter on many of the walking routes and in and around the local townships and attractions. We believe this can sometimes lead to a more authentic adventure experience, and in Tasmania, there is a lot of beauty, ambience and quality local produce to experience during the cooler months.

About The Adventure
How hard is the adventure?
With the proper preparation, guides and support, the 4-day Three Capes Track itinerary is achievable with a moderate fitness level and the ability to carry a light daypack. We recommend training leading up to any adventure because it makes the experience much more enjoyable. Because it's day walks out of a support location, and if by chance you became sick or injured and weren't up to completing one of the day walks, you could rest or do another activity for the day. We would strongly recommend taking our travel insurance with Cover-More Insurance because you may be able to claim back some of the costs for that day that you missed or perhaps more if you couldn't continue the rest of the adventure.
Can I stay on after the adventure?
Yes, you can extend your stay to explore more of Hobart and Tasmania.
Food, Accomdodation & Facilities
What is the accommodation like in Port Arthur?
The accommodation in Port Arthur is at the Stewarts Bay Lodge and is four-star chalet accommodation.
Stewarts Bay Lodge is nestled between a beautiful beach, a forest, the calming ocean, a world heritage listed national park and Australia's profound Port Arthur Historic Site. Stewarts Bay Lodge is a 9 hectare (22 acres) property on the shores of Stewarts Bay at Port Arthur.
We stay in a two-bedroom, two-bathroom deluxe bush setting spa chalets for 3 nights when we are at Stewarts Bay Lodge. (You may be upgraded to a water view deluxe spa chalet if the bush setting deluxe spa chalets are booked out or have limited availability).
The accommodation is two bedroom bush chalets on a twin-share basis (2 walkers per bedroom) or a king bed if you are a couple. You will share common areas, i.e. kitchen, dining room and balcony, with the other occupants of the two-bedroom chalet. You may be sharing a chalet with walkers you may not know. An optional extra single supplement upgrade is available when booking so you can have your own bedroom to yourself as a single traveller. However, you will still be sharing with other walkers in the other bedroom of the chalet. Each bedroom has its own toilet and shower.
If you'd like your own private chalet, please speak to us before booking, and we can discuss with you whether this is possible and would be subject to availability and paying the additional accommodation costs.
More information can be found on the Stewarts Bay Lodge website: Stewarts Bay Lodge Website
What type of food do we eat?
For the day walks, you will be provided with a pre-packed lunch pack prepared by the On the Bay chefs, the restaurant located at Stewarts Bay Lodge. The pre-packed lunch will also include morning tea and trail snacks. Breakfast each day will be an al-a-carted breakfast at On the Bay restaurant. You will have two a-la-carte dinners at On the Bay restaurant at Stewarts Bay Lodge and one dinner at 1830 restaurant. All meals will be of restaurant quality. You will also have the opportunity to bring your own snacks or in-between food, as the chalets at Stewarts Bay are self-contained.
The meals at the restaurant will be two courses, either a main or dessert or a main and entree. We will alternate the mix, but is it generally main and entree on the first night at On the Bay restaurant, main and dessert at the 1830 restaurant team dinner, and main and dessert on the last night at On the Bay restaurant. For the team dinner at 1830 restaurant, we will organise a mixture of sides for the table.
What facilities are there in Port Arthur?

What is the minimum age?
Because of insurance and liability reasons, the minimum age for this trek is generally 18. The age could be potentially reduced with parental consent and the minor's ability to complete the adventure itinerary. If bringing your teenagers along on this trek may interest you, we are happy to discuss it.
Fitness & Equipment
How fit do I need to be, and can I get fit?
Anyone should be able to undertake the various day walks on this Three Capes Track and Tasman Peninsula adventure with a medium level of fitness and health. The fitter and more endurance you have, the easier the days will be and the quicker your recovery. The longest walk is the Waterfall Bay to Fortescue Bay which is approximately 18km and 8-9 hours of walking depending on the team's speed, so, if you can walk undulating terrain with hills, with regular rests over this distance and time with a light day pack, you'll comfortably complete this adventure itinerary.
We recommend joining one of our local weekend Six Foot Track adventures or free Saturday morning community walks to measure your current fitness and endurance levels.
We are qualified personal trainers, so we will assess your current fitness levels and provide a training program that would be suited to complete this adventure comfortably. If you are unsure, please contact the Peak Potential Adventures team to discuss your situation and see if this adventure suits you.
What equipment will I require?
The equipment list is on the website under additional information. Once you have reviewed the list, we will discuss your equipment requirements and budget with you. Some last-minute equipment can be purchased in Hobart if required.
Medical Conditions & Allergies
Can I walk safely if I have allergies or a medical condition?
It all depends on the allergy or the medical condition, but we would strongly suggest that you speak to your doctor first before making a booking. If it is a food allergy, that will be no problem because that can be catered for by the restaurants that will be preparing our food. Please let us know on the adventure booking form so we can inform our team of your dietary requirements.
