Cradle Mountain Transfers from Devonport

While Cradle Mountain is one of Tasmania’s top tourist destinations, it’s not accessible by public transport. If you’re not hiring a car or on a self-driving itinerary through the state, the most convenient way of accessing the national park is by a guided tour or transfer. 

Small-group guided tours usually have a set itinerary and schedule, meaning there isn’t much room for customisation. The benefit is that you have a local guide with you throughout the day, so there is no chance of getting lost! Private guided trips are a little more flexible, with the option to tailor the experience to your desires and have the guide all to yourself. 

Cradle Mountain transfers from Devonport offer a more affordable alternative, as you don’t have a guide with you the entire day. They are a great option for independent travellers who simply need a means of getting to and from the park but want to be able to explore on their own. Transfers can be arranged at the times that suit you, whether you want to visit Cradle Mountain for a day or stay a night or two. 

There are several Tasmanian companies offering transfers to and from Cradle Mountain, including Overland Track Transport, Cradle Mountain Coaches and eGuide. In addition to scheduled departures, there is the option to book a private transfer at a time that suits you. The prices differ depending on your pick-up/drop-off point and the number of people in your party. 

eGuide’s Cradle Mountain transfers from Devonport can also be combined to create custom-designed Tasmania tours, which allow you to visit the towns and national parks on your wish list. In addition to flexible options for state-wide tours, eGuide also offers private tours to Cradle Mountain and along the Cradle to Coast Tasting Trail.

Aside from being the arrival point of the Spirit of Tasmania ferry, Devonport is the closest city to Cradle Mountain and therefore offers the most affordable transfer rates. It is also the terminus for the intercity buses that travel from Hobart and Launceston, with many budget travellers opting to travel by bus to Devonport before getting a private transfer to Cradle Mountain. The drive from Devonport to Cradle Mountain takes just 1.5 hours, making it the perfect gateway for a day trip to the national park.
