Three Capes Walk - Life's An Adventure — Attraction in Tasman

My friends and I recently completed the Three Capes Walk with Life’s an Adventure. What a fantastic experience! We booked this trip based on the fact that we preferred not to carry our full packs. We only had our day packs which made the walking far more enjoyable. Added to this was the accommodation - we stayed at the lovely Stewarts Bay Lodge both nights, meaning we did not have to pack up each morning. Such a joy not to have to do this. You can wake up, go to breakfast and then just leave. The accommodation was very comfortable – apartment style with great views. On top of this all meals are included, breakfast at the lodge, snacks and lunch along the walk and delicious 2 course meals with wine included each night! What a lovely way to finish the day, relaxing with new and old friends. The first night was at the restaurant at Port Arthur – looking out over this iconic setting, and the second night was at the lodge. The food was really delicious and you got to chose what you wanted to eat. Certainly not what you expect on a 3 day walk. We loved this. Our guides were fabulous. We stopped frequently to look at the flora and fauna (and simply stunning views) along the walk. The guides were so knowledgeable about it all and answered all our questions. Our daily briefings and debriefs were such an integral part of the trip. Knowing in advance what was coming up the following day meant some of our fellow trekkers were able to decide if some of the steeper or stair-filled sections were best not to attempt. This meant that our guides had time to help craft an alternative experience for them so as they did not miss out on anything and could still enjoy all the area had to offer. We would then get together that night and exchange stories and photos. Having two guides really helped make this possible. We finished the tour with a spectacular helicopter ride over Cape Pillar and Tasman Island. Due to the weather, we nearly didn’t get up (safety first) but it cleared at the last minute and we were treated to pristine views that just made this a once in a lifetime experience. To see these majestic cliffs from this view point was something really special. I really recommend this option. It was the best way to finish off a simply fabulous weekend. We all decided that this was one of our favourite and most well organised walks we have done. I would highly recommend Life’s an Adventure’s Three Capes Walk. Such a...

Highly recommend and commend "Life's an Adventure - the pack free walking experience" company to guide you through this amazing part of Tasmania. What an experience !! Day one took us to Cape Raoul where we walked through the eucalypts to the plateau where we stopped for lunch to take in the view of the towering sea cliffs. Out further to the tip of the cape were spectacular views to Tasman And Bruny Islands and we caught sight of a seal colony at the base of Cape Raoul. Overnight accommodation was at the wonderfully placed Stewart's Bay Lodge nestled amongst the trees not far from Port Arthur, where we were treated with a gourmet dinner at the restaurant (including wine). Day two saw us head for Waterfall Bay ( named after the 200meter waterfall that plunges into the sea) where we trekked to Fortescue Bay through the rainforest and undulating coastal topography. A 17km hike through various coastal habitats with gorgeous glimpses of the impressive geographical features and rocky outcrops. The walk ends at Fortescue Bay - a white sand, pristine inlet with a plethora of wildlife to encounter. The day ended with a sumptuous meal at the Stewart's Bay Lodge restaurant and a well earned spa in our lodge room. Day three - relaxed start after a hearty breakfast and then a visit to Remarkable Cave. We were then treated to a helicopter flight over Cape Pillar and Tasman Island - Wow!!! To wind up the day a visit to the Lavender Farm for a wander through the fields and witness nature at its prettiest. After a sit down lunch we embarked on the challenge of Cape Huay - a well maintained track with sandstone steps to make the access out to the third pillar easily accessible. After reaching the tip it was time to head back to Hobart with our tour group - from welcoming strangers to becoming new friends, we were dropped off at the airport for our flights home. Life's an Adventure - yep...

So this trip was planned over a bottle of wine as neither my friend Kellie nor myself had ever done anything like this. It was decided as a way to celebrate my 50th birthday we would embark on the Three Capes Walk with Life's an Adventure and all I can say it was amazing. Day 1 trek was really good, the views spectacular, the lunch provided and location to eat was just perfect and then dinner at Restuarant 1830 at Port Authur was delicious and paired well with fabulous local wines. Day 2 I was a little hesitant to do longer walk but with a little encouragement from oue group and guides did the longer option in wet and slippery conditions and all I can say is WOW I am so glad that I did. Again the scenery was unbelievable. Lunch again and the chosen spot to eat was good. Dinner that night was at our accommodation at Stewarts Bay lodge and was also great paired with so lovely local wine. Day 3 our helicopter flight was cancelled so on the boat we went and it was awesome to see the capes from sea level. Day 3 walk was hard but really good , lots of steps but so worth it. Our guides Dave and Danny were the best, very informative with history, jokes and encouragement, the pop up Cafe ( morning and afternoon teas) along the walks were really unexpected but both Kellie and myself were grateful. Lastly I really want to thank the guides as they also drove us to our accommodation and pointed us in the direction of pubs in our area so we could celebrate our achievement. We have been told we were the best group of the season so far. Please pass on our thanks and appreciation to our guides Danny and Dave, you guys rock. Definitely recommend to do a guided walk for anyone who is...
