If you're headed to Tasmania, we suggest taking a hike. The best place start? A cliff-ridden coastline best known as Cape Raoul.

Cape Raoul is part of the larger Tasman National Park, little slice of Australian heaven you're definitely going to fall in love with. To explore all that Cape Raoul has to offer, visitors usually enjoy a five-hour hike best described as "moderately" challenging. While Tasmania is gorgeous as a whole, Cape Raoul is uniquely pretty, with gorgeous cliffs, plateaus and lookouts that just scream "photo opp!"

It isn't exactly effortless (or warm) to get to the top of the cliffs, but it's well worth the climb to see what the Tasman Park Service describes as a fantastic feature of "rock platforms, towering cliffs and columns, off-shore islands and swirling seas."

Take a look!
