The Difference You'll Make

For more than 70 years, MS Plus has been one of Australia’s most trusted and respected organisations supporting people living with multiple sclerosis. Every day, thousands of Australians turn to MS Plus for specialised services, guidance and care, from navigating a new diagnosis to accessing essential allied health, NDIS support coordination, employment assistance, wellbeing programs, and around‑the‑clock advice through Plus Connect.

As the number of people living with MS reaches over 37,000, your support is vital in helping MS Plus provide life‑changing services when they are needed most. By fundraising for MS Plus, you’ll help support the areas of greatest need, ensuring people living with MS can access the right support at the right time.

Your impact could help deliver personalised NDIS navigation, provide essential equipment, and home modifications, fund specialised allied health programs, expand peer support networks to ensure no one faces MS alone. With your support, MS Plus can continue empowering people living with MS to live their best lives while the search for a cure continues.

On this once‑in‑a‑lifetime trek, you’ll explore pristine coastlines, hidden coves and vivid orange lichen‑covered rocks beside crystal‑clear waters. Along the way, you’ll uncover local stories, and walk with purpose alongside a group of passionate, like‑minded adventurers, united in support of Australians living with MS.

Trip notes

Day 1, Thursday, 18 February 2027: Hobart - Crescent Bay and Mount Brown

It’s time for the adventure of a lifetime! This morning, meet our guides at 7:45 am at the Hotel Grand Chancellor in Hobart before we make our way to the Remarkable Caves to begin our walk for the day. The first part of the hike crosses a series of sand dunes covered in coastal heath vegetation, offering westerly views back towards Cape Raoul. The track then opens out into a gaping cavity known as Maingon Blowhole, then heads inland onto the lower knolls of Mount Brown, where a series of cairns will direct our ascent. The walk up to the summit is moderately steep, with views over Cape Pillar, Tasman Island, Arthurs Peak and further south to Cape Raoul and Bruny Island. Once back on the main track, we reach Crescent Bay, an incredibly beautiful and often sparsely populated beach. After the day’s walk, we head back to our accommodation for a rest and then dinner.

Accommodation: 4-star hotel, twin-share

Trekking distance: 9 km

Meals: L D

Day 2, Friday, 19 February 2027: Cape Raoul

We begin our walk today out to Cape Raoul. Offering some of the most spectacular coastal lookouts in Tasmania, Cape Raoul is an excellent return day walk within the Tasman National Park. With only a few steep sections, this is a comfortable walk allowing ample time to relax and enjoy the expansive views of the surrounding Tasman Peninsula and further south to Bruny Island.

We start walking through heathland, and after a short, gradual climb, we cross a bridge above a small gully. The bushland then opens up to spectacular views of the incredible cliffs, with Cape Raoul just beyond the lower plateau to the east. A short distance to our right is another open section of the cliff top showing a stunning view down to Shipstern Bluff, beyond to Bruny Island and Tasmania’s southern coast. The trail heads east from here along the clifftops, descending the steepest part of the trail first onto the Cape Raoul plateau. Once on the plateau, the landscape changes to stunning coastal banksia scrub, and soon we see our first glimpses of the northern coastline, including Mt Brown, Arthurs Peak and Mt Fortescue. Situated a little further east, are the impressive 300-metre-high cliffs of Cape Pillar.

Accommodation: 4-star hotel, twin-share

Trekking distance: 14 km

Meals: B L D

Day 3, Saturday, 20 February 2027: Fortescue Bay to Cape Hauy

We depart from the Lodge this morning and head off for the day’s walk to Cape Hauy. The walk starts at a beautiful cove, and there are some steep sections with stairs. There is a steep climb at the start and end of the walk, but once at the top of the first saddle, extensive panoramic views stretch far north past the Forester coast to Maria Island and south, detailing the ridges of Cape Pillar. Towards the end, the track follows the cliff's edge, providing spectacular views. The final segment of the trail, before reaching a large plateau, is quite steep and narrow, but we are able to clearly view the exceptional rock formations of the Candlestick and Totem Pole, large columns of dolerite rocking out of the ocean.

We then return via the same route, via numerous stairs. We have some free time in the afternoon to explore the area before dinner.

Accommodation: 4-star hotel, twin-share

Trekking distance: 8 km

Meals: B L D

Day 4, Sunday, 21 February 2027: Wilderness Cruise - Hobart

Today, we head out for our final day on a 3-hour award-winning Wilderness Cruise with Pennicott Journeys. Make sure to dress warmly - warm jackets, scarves, beanies and gloves are recommended. Waterproofs are supplied by the cruise company. The boat passes close by the spectacular rock formations along the coastline where we have walked over the past three days, and stops regularly for easy viewing and photography. See seals, albatross, and white-bellied sea eagles and enjoy an exhilarating ride on this fantastic cruise. We will return to Hobart, arriving at around 4:30 pm, to say our goodbyes to our guides and teammates after a memorable 4 days together. If you are leaving tonight, please book return flights home departing after 6 pm.

About the adventure

How challenging is this adventure?

Your adventure is ranked 3.5/5. While no extensive trekking experience is required prior to registering, our adventures are specifically designed for people who are relatively fit and willing to train.

The Three Capes trek is a physical challenge, and the fitter you are, the more you will enjoy the experience. It is essential that you prepare for this challenge.

Who will I be travelling with?

Our average group size at Inspired Adventures ranges from 10 to 20 people. You can be sure that you have all come together with the shared purpose of making a difference to others and having the adventure of a lifetime.

The group will be led by a local tour guide with expert knowledge of the region. Many groups will also be accompanied by an Inspired Adventures team leader or doctor to support and motivate the team.

Where applicable, a charity representative may also join the team. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about your chosen charity and its work.

Can I join an Inspired Adventure on my own?

Of course, most people do! Throughout your adventure journey, we will connect you with your fellow adventurers so you can get to know each other before you hit the road.

Do I have to carry my own bag?

On most adventures, you'll only need to carry a day bag with essentials for your day of activities. Your luggage/big backpacks will either stay at your accommodation or be transferred to your next accommodation.

What is the general age range of participants?

The minimum age for this adventure is 18, however younger ages are considered on application. We have had participants aged 16–84 take part in our challenges, all united by their sense of philanthropy and adventure.

Fitness and training

How do I train for this adventure?

We will provide you with basic information on how to prepare for your adventure when you register. We recommend that you consult your GP and a personal trainer to develop a training plan that will prepare you for the challenge.

It is sensible to start training as early as possible before you go on your trek. As part of your training, we recommend making use of your weekends to complete a full-day hike and, if possible, an overnight hike. You should aim to walk in hilly terrain for 6-8 hours and get up to do it again the following day comfortably. Conventional exercise routines which build strength, fitness and stamina, such as aerobics and light weight training, can be beneficial, particularly if your fitness level is less than ideal.

Accommodation

What is the accommodation like?

On this trek, you’ll be staying in a 4-star hotel based on twin-share.

Will I be sharing accommodation?

Accommodation on this adventure is based on twin-share. You will be paired with a teammate of the same gender and, whenever possible, age group. Single rooms are available at an additional cost and subject to availability.

I’m travelling with a friend, can we stay together?

If you’re travelling with a friend, please make note of this, and we will pair you together.

How is my luggage transported?

You will only need to carry a daypack with you each day. Your main luggage will be transported between accommodation for you.

Fundraising

How do I fundraise?

Never fundraised before? Not sure where to start? No worries, we don’t expect you to do it alone. You will have regular support from the Inspired Adventures fundraising team, who will help you make a fundraising plan to meet your target. Alongside personalised coaching, we will also send you lots of ideas and resources on how to fundraise. From online fundraising to trivia nights, to bake sales and out-of-the-box ideas, we have years and years of tried and tested tips to make your fundraising a success.

What happens if I don’t meet my fundraising target?

It’s normal to worry you won’t meet your fundraising target, but we know you can do it. In fact, with the support of Inspired Adventures, almost everyone goes on to raise far more than they imagined.

By registering for the adventure, you agree to raise the minimum fundraising amount specified. Like you, we are looking to make a significant impact for our charity partners, so the goal is for each person to have met their fundraising target before departure. If you fail to raise the minimum fundraising target by this time, we will review the situation on a case-by-case basis.

I’m travelling with a friend, can we fundraise together?

Absolutely! Fundraising with a friend is a great idea. Just remember the fundraising target is per person, so you will each need to meet the minimum fundraising goal to participate. We know you can do it.

Will the funds raised go directly to MS Plus?

Yes, all funds raised go directly to MS Plus. Only the travel costs are payable to Inspired Adventures.

Is my donation tax-deductible?

The funds raised for MS Plus are tax-deductible (conditions apply).

Payments, cancellations and refunds

The total cost to participate in this adventure is $3,389, which is inclusive of:

Registration fee: $390 (non-refundable after 5 days)
Travel cost: $2,999 (includes a $950 non-refundable travel deposit)

In addition, you are also committing to raising $3,000 (per person) for MS Plus.

What happens if I need to cancel?

If you find yourself unable to attend, please notify us in writing as soon as possible.

If you cancel within five (5) days of registering, you will receive a full refund of your registration fee and any travel deposit paid (if applicable), less any non-recoverable card transaction fees.
Cancellations made more than five (5) days after registration are subject to the Inspired Booking Conditions and the applicable supplier terms and cancellation policies. This means that any refund or credit (including travel deposits and travel costs) will only be provided to the extent that Inspired Adventures is able to recover funds from third-party suppliers, and after deduction of any non-refundable deposits, supplier cancellation charges, and other unrecoverable costs. Where applicable, Inspired Adventures may, at its discretion and where recoverable, issue a credit voucher for eligible travel costs that cannot be refunded in cash. Credit vouchers will be valid for use on another challenge within 12 months of the original departure date, after which standard booking conditions will apply.
As departure approaches, supplier cancellation fees may increase significantly and may result in little or no refund or credit being available. Any outcomes will depend on the timing of cancellation and the relevant supplier terms.

Travel insurance and Visas

Do I need to have travel insurance?

We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance to cover unforeseen circumstances, including trip cancellation, hospital treatment, emergency evacuation and lost luggage. We recommend purchasing your policy as soon as possible. You will need to share these details with our team before departure.

All information is subject to change and will be confirmed upon your registration.
