Enjoyable hike not too challenging. Young and fairly fit we managed to finish in 4 hours took just under two hours each way. It is probably one of the most clear paths I’ve hiked across aus and you are easily able to see the way, there’s no markers along the way so you don’t know how far you’ve come except at the first 1.5km mark and the last few hundred. It’s a very clear path there is no climbing over rocks or scaling sections it’s a pretty easy walk for an inexperienced hiker. Starts off with a reasonable ascent for the first 1.5km to the first lookout, this is a decent view so you could finish here. Continues pretty flat and then you go downhill for 3km there is a number of steps in this section and our return trip was slow through here. Then flattens out again and is largely flat until a small incline in the end. We were lucky with a cool clear day there’s large section of covered walk for about 4km then the final section is exposed. The view was beautiful and you can see lots of seals from the seal lookout!

Soar above sea cliffs and peek into Tassie’s convict past with Osborne Heli Tours. Tasmania’s most epic window seat. See nature in her most dramatic mood. Sheer dolerite cliffs, Tasman Island’s far-flung lighthouse and an expanse of sea stretching to Antarctica. Strap in for an aerial view of wild Tasmania.

Completed the Three Capes Track with a group of friends - what an amazing adventure - stunning scenery - excellent accommodation and cooking facilities.. very surprised by the cabins and cooking areas that have been built. The rangers chat each night was very educational and a highlight to the coming day. Not a hike to complete in warm weather as some of the track is in full sun with no option of shade...
4. Remarkable Cave
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 555 reviews
Reviewed By A7022YXpeters - Rockhampton, Australia
Not really a cave’s person but this blew me away. Involves a number of steps to walk down and retreat from the site but definitely worth the effort. This geological phenomenon takes you to a viewing platform at the rear of the cave and depending on the tide the cave will either be empty providing magical views of the ocean on a sunny day or will be filled with water at high tide. At low tide it is possible to climb down and walk through to the beach, though caution is required.
5. Mount Brown and Crescent Bay Walking Track

Reviewed By gillis55 - Hobart, Australia
We only had time to venture to Crescent Bay and return but found this to be a great experience with some very impressive and rugged coastal scenery along the way. The track is very well prepared and maintained and the relatively easy walk to the scenic beach and impressive sand dunes at Crescent Bay are well worth the modest effort.
