Three Capes Track: Denmans to Surveyors

Your journey starts with a 75-minute boat trip from Port Arthur to Denmans Cove where you start the walk. Once landed at Denmans Cove you have a 2-hour walk ahead of you, which takes you through Eucalypt woodland and coastal heath to your first accommodation on the track - Surveyors cabin. Relax at the cabin and soak in the views of Cape Raoul in the distance. Let us begin by acknowledging the Palawa people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
