Discover the Wild Beauty of Cradle Mountain – Shore Excursion from Burnie

Make the most of your precious time ashore with an unforgettable journey into Tasmania’s highlands. This exclusive small-group shore excursion departs as soon as your ship arrives, taking you on a scenic 90-minute drive each way through rolling farmland and rugged alpine landscapes to reach the heart of the Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair National Park.

At Cradle Mountain, time is limited — but every moment counts. You’ll walk the boardwalk along the shores of Dove Lake, with the dramatic peaks of Cradle Mountain towering above. Breathe in the crisp alpine air, capture stunning photos at the iconic Boatshed, and immerse yourself in one of the most pristine wilderness areas on Earth.

Due to the travel distance, there is not time for extended hikes — instead, this carefully designed itinerary focuses on the highlights to ensure you don’t miss the most iconic sights. If conditions and time allow, we may also stop at the Interpretation Centre and Wilderness Gallery before returning to Burnie.
