Launceston to Cradle Mountain Overland Track Transfer
Start Your Hike the Easy Way with
Wild Island Adventures
Your Overland Track journey begins long before you lace up your boots — it starts with the ride that takes you to the Cradle Mountain Visitor Centre. Our Wild Island Adventures transfer from Launceston and Hobart to Cradle Mountain is the most comfortable, convenient, and scenic way to reach the starting point of Tasmania’s legendary Overland Track.
What to Expect on the Journey
Departing from Launceston, your adventure begins as you travel through Tasmania’s stunning northern countryside. We take the Sheffield route, driving past the farmlands, forests, and rolling hills with panoramic views of Mount Roland — one of Tasmania’s most picturesque peaks at the base of Gowrie Park.
Halfway along, we make a 15-minute stop in Sheffield, famously known as the Town of Murals. Stretch your legs, grab a hot coffee, or enjoy a quick bite at one of the local cafés before continuing the final leg toward Cradle Mountain.
Arrive Ready to Hike
The transfer concludes at the Cradle Mountain Visitor Centre, which is where the journey begins. Here, you’ll check in for your hiker briefing, collect any last-minute essentials, grab the shuttle to Ronny Creek and get ready to begin your unforgettable journey through Tasmania’s alpine wilderness.
Remember, WildIsland has Gear hire and gas purchase for those last-minute requirements, and we even have full packages for the Overland Track, which includes transport as well as all the gear you will need for the Overland Track Hike. >>>Click Here For Hiking Gear Hire<<<
