What to expect

You will be picked up in Launceston and travel by coach with a local guide for a full day of sightseeing. The main focus is Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, where the included Enchanted Forest Walk gives you time to experience the landscape on foot rather than only from the bus.
