Itinerary: A Day on Cradle Mountain

Depart Moorabbin Airport at 8.00 am for the 90-minute flight to The Vale, a working high-country property and the closest air access to Cradle Mountain, where your local guide awaits. A scenic 30-minute transfer brings you to the breathtaking Dove Lake, nestled beneath the iconic dolerite spires of Cradle Mountain. Enjoy a leisurely guided two-hour circuit walk along well-formed tracks, surrounded by native pines, cascading streams, and ever-changing mountain views.

Stop for lunch at the cosy Cradle Mountain Lodge, renowned for its warm atmosphere and fine Tasmanian produce. Then, visit the acclaimed Devils@Cradle sanctuary — an inspiring conservation project dedicated to the protection of Tasmania’s endangered devil population.

Return to The Vale for your scenic flight back to Melbourne, touching down at Moorabbin by 6.00 pm — home in time for dinner, with memories from a day defined by nature’s finest moments.
