Journey Overview

Your first stop is the beautiful Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge where you will spot many of Australia’s creatures. Be careful on the drive to the lodge as there are a lot of wallabies and kangaroos in the area! Explore the bush via hiking, or horseback riding, or jump in a canoe to see Cradle Mountain up close – there are so many activities to do here you certainly won’t be bored.

Next stop: the beautiful Satellite Island.

Satellite Island has never before been accessible to the public until now. It remains utterly unspoilt. With 360 degree views of the southern hemisphere wilderness – a mix of beautiful native bush, ancient blue gums, sheer sea cliffs, pebble beaches and sunny coves – Satellite Island is a secluded secret hideaway, yours’ alone to explore.

Trip Itinerary Details

DAY ONE

One way airfare flying Virgin Australia business class. Collect your car at Launceston airport and take a leisurely drive to Cradle Mountain Lodge, your accommodation for the next 4 nights. Settle in this afternoon and the rest of the evening is yours at leisure.

DAY TWO

Start the morning with a delicious breakfast and then head off on your chosen activity for today. We suggest an adventure day – take off on your e-bikes with your picnic (prepared for you and left in your room) and find a beautiful tranquil spot to enjoy. Or take off on a road trip and explore Launceston and it’s wonderful restaurants. Try to make it back to the lodge by sunset though as it is difficult navigating the drive amongst nature.

DAY THREE

Today enjoy a leisurely breakfast and then head for your guided canoe trip this morning. Glide over Dove Lake on your 5km guided canoe trip and see Cradle Mountain as no one else can. You’ll need a moderate level of fitness, duration 4 hours. Return back to the lodge this afternoon for a 1 hour waterfall guided walk. Then get ready for your dinner back at the lodge (at own expense).

DAY FOUR

Enjoy a day to yourself today – as it’s your last day. We thought you could use the break!! BUT we have booked you in for a two hour couples recovery treatment today which consists of a massage, body scrub and express facial.

DAY FIVE

Depart today on your long road trip to Satellite Island (approx. 5 hours away). Make sure you gather your produce for cooking the next 3 days on Satellite, otherwise we can book the chef for you to cater to your dinners each night (at an additional cost).

DAY SIX

This morning wake to the sound of sea birds, and take breakfast out on the deck before heading off on one of the Island’s stunning walking tracks. In the afternoon take the kayaks out and explore the island from the water, or cast a line from a deck chair on the Boathouse jetty and shuck your own wild oysters off the rock shelf.

DAY SEVEN

Enjoy a day to yourself today – as it’s your last day, we thought you could use the break!! We suggest heading to Bruny Island – with it’s gourmet produce, winery, stunning walks and beaches and adventure activities, it is only a stone’s throw from Satellite Island.
