Women Embrace Tasmania September 5-10 2022

Join Women Embrace Adventure and walk the rugged southeast coast of Tasmania on this fully supported and professionally guided 6-day/5 night adventure. Discover the pristine and wild Tasman National Park with a new and different adventure each day.

Witness the towering cliff faces of the Tasman Peninsula, home to the awe-inspiring Three Capes. Made up of Cape Raoul, Cape Hauy and Cape Pillar, considered by many to be the most unique coastal landmark in Australia – if not the world.

Your adventure will take you to the summit of Mount Brown, where you’ll experience breathtaking panoramic views of Crescent Bay, Cape Raoul and Cape Pillar. You’ll also trek the rugged coastline from Waterfall Bay to Fortescue Bay.

On day 5, we'll head to the water for a three-hour wilderness cruise of Tasman Island, Cape Pillar and the coastline up to Eaglehawk Neck with award-winning Pennicott Wilderness Tours. We'll get up close and personal to the local sea life who call this exquisite and untouched region home. Learn about the infamous history of the Port Arthur Convict Settlement during a delicious team dinner, set within the gates of Port Arthur and overlooking the world-renowned historic site.

While hiking you’ll get to experience the best of what the Three Capes and the Tasman Peninsula has to offer each day and then head back to your four-star accommodation at Stewarts Bay Lodge in Port Arthur to refresh, dine on seasonal meals made from the freshest local produce, and prepare for your next day’s exploration. Stewarts Bay Lodge is nestled between the beach and the forest, where you'll sleep to the sound of the calming ocean, in this World Heritage National Park.

Whether you come on your own, with a friend or in a group, Women Embrace Adventure provide a welcoming, inclusive environment where you can enjoy and challenge yourself.
