Hobart to Cradle Mountain
Cradle Mountain Transfers from Hobart
Cradle Mountain is a must-see spot in Tasmania, but getting there by public transport isn’t an option. If you’re not renting a car or driving around the state, the easiest way to visit the national park is to join a guided tour or book a transfer.
Guided tours in small groups usually have a set itinerary and schedule, so there's not much room for customisation. However, having a local guide with you all day means you won't get lost! Private guided trips are a bit more flexible, giving you the option to tailor the experience to your preferences and have the guide all to yourself.
Cradle Mountain transfers from Hobart are a budget-friendly choice since you won't have a guide by your side all day. They're perfect for independent travellers who just need transportation to and from the park but still want the freedom to explore on their own. You can schedule transfers at your convenience, whether you're planning a day trip to Cradle Mountain or staying overnight for a couple of days.
Lots of Tasmanian businesses offer transportation to and from Cradle Mountain, like Overland Track Transport, Cradle Mountain Coaches and eGuide. In addition to the usual schedules, you can also book a private transfer for a time that suits you. The cost depends on where you're coming from/going to and how many people are in your group.
eGuide offers Cradle Mountain transfers from Hobart that can be tailored to create personalised Tasmania tours, giving you the freedom to explore the towns and national parks you want to see. You can also choose from flexible statewide tours or opt for private tours to Cradle Mountain and explorations of the Cradle to Coast Tasting Trail.
Serving as the capital of Tasmania, Hobart is the island’s biggest city and a gateway for many travellers. It’s also the furthest of the state’s cities from Cradle Mountain, making it the most expensive transfer option. With a drive time of around 4.5 hours, a Hobart to Cradle Mountain transfer is only recommended for those who plan on spending a night or two in the park.
If you’re coming from Hobart, a more affordable option is to ride the intercity bus that travels to Launceston and Devonport, and then get a private transfer from one of these two cities. Alternatively, you can alight the bus in the town of Perth and be picked up there for your transfer to Cradle Mountain. The drive time from Perth to Cradle Mountain is around two hours.
