Q.
When I buy an annual or two year all parks pass, what does that give me?
A.
These passes cover up to three vehicles and a boat (as long as they are all registered at the same
address) and provide entry into all of Tasmania’s national parks. You will receive a carry card (to be
used when walking, cycling or as a bus passenger) and permanent stickers for vehicles and boat.
These passes also provide free use of the shuttle bus at Cradle Mountain.
Q.
Does my pass get me into Port Arthur and Tahune Airwalk?
A.
No. Your pass gives you entry into Tasmania’s national parks only. Port Arthur is an historic site and
has its own entry fees. The Tahune Airwalk is managed by Forestry Tasmania and also has its own
entry fees.
Q.
My parks pass has expired, how long do I have to renew?
A.
You have six months from the expiry date of your parks pass to be eligible for the ‘renewal’ rate.
Q.
I have an annual pass but I am about to sell my vehicle. How do I get another sticker
for my new car?
A.
If you are planning to sell a vehicle, please remove the sticker. It can be returned to a national park
visitor centre or Service Tasmania shop where you will be given a replacement over the counter.
You can also post it back to the: Park Entry Section, GPO Box 1751, Hobart, 7001, and a
replacement will be posted out to you. Replacement stickers will be provided for vehicles registered
at your address only, and there is a limit of three vehicles per pass.
Q.
Do I have to pay for each person in the car as well as for the day vehicle pass?
A.
No. If you are in a vehicle you pay for the vehicle pass only. This pass covers all passengers legally
seated, up to a maximum of eight. The Cradle Mountain Day Pass is different. Please see further
