Sorr, we arrived at 7am and got on the 8.30am bus direct to Port Arthur for the 11am ferry. So did not take fresh fruit. Trail mix worked well for us from three capes gourmet. Enjoy the walk!

Hello, yes all huts have facilities to top up with fresh drinking water. No need to carry for multiple days. Enjoy!

Hi Emma, I think the other answers have given a good review of the walk. We found the huts were excellent, each bed was pre-assigned, and so no crowding or jockeying for the best bunks. The kitchens were very well set up and good to use. Also there is a lot of private space at each hut and along the route (48Kms can be a long way between other parties). The helicopters were necessary to do their work, but also they were employed by the truly 'glamping' group that have their own guide and huts and walk with day packs. We met up with them occasionally and had a good chat, but generally they were not to be seen as they were carrying lighter packs. So, all-in-all, it is a great walk and one that enables you to enjoy it to the full without having to set up tents or a campfire (banned anyway due to fire restrictions). The rangers at each hut were excellent and added so much to the walk too. Go for it! Be prepared for any weather too even in Christmas period.

I’ve done the 3 capes but I would still like to do the 3 hour boat trip because you get a different perspective from both. It’s so beautiful you can’t get enough anyway.

Hi Can also recommend Humpridge track from Tuatapere and Kepler track from Te Anau in New Zealand. Cheers GwenH

You are in for a treat! I had a minus bag when I did the walk in April and was fine. I also hired my bag from three capes gear and gourmet

If you go to the web site it tells you everything you need to know But it’s 3nights 4 days , only 48 people are allowed to leave each day. $495 for the walk You carry everything you need. Water is available at the huts

There is a general store (not large) which calls itself the Port Arthur General Store but it is at 20/30 minute walk from the departure point for the boat to the 3 Capes.

Assuming it’s summer when you wish to walk suggest you get high or on the coast, there’s also bushfire risk at play in mant of the arears you might think of but here’s some thoughts where supported walking (ie pack transport and accommodation) is available Overland Track, Walls of Jerusalem, Maria Island, Bay of Fires (all in Tassie) Kangaroo Island (SA) Great Ocean Walk, Wilsons Promontory (Vic) Blue Mountains (NSW) Lamington National Park (Qld) In summer NZ may be a better choice (also no snakes, spiders, leeches etc). Lots of options in the South Island particularly on any of the Great Walks.

Not a good idea It’s difficult enough doing the walk with all your own stuff without having a baby and all their stuff also! Suggest you talk to the three capes walk people about this if you still want to pursue it
