Melbourne to Devonport gets you onto Tasmania's north-west coast in a little over an hour – worth knowing upfront, since Devonport is a different city to Hobart, the state capital. It's the gateway to Cradle Mountain, the arrival point for the Spirit of Tasmania ferry, and the start of the Mersey Valley's food and wine trail.
This is a straightforward domestic nonstop route:
Between the two, there are multiple direct flights a day, so schedule flexibility usually isn't an issue.
The nonstop flight takes around 1 hours and 10 minutes – one of the shorter interstate hops on the Traveloka network.
As a domestic leisure route tied to Tasmanian school holidays and the Spirit of Tasmania ferry schedule, fares can move around. Check Traveloka for current pricing from , and set a Price Alert if you're flexible on dates.
Tasmanian and Victorian school holidays, plus the summer peak (December to February), tend to push fares up. Shoulder months in autumn and spring generally offer better value alongside milder weather for exploring Cradle Mountain.
Devonport Airport is about 7km east of the city centre, roughly a 10–15 minute drive. It's also a short trip from the Spirit of Tasmania ferry terminal, which makes Devonport a genuine dual gateway – by air or by sea – to Tasmania's north-west.
This is a domestic flight within Australia, so no passport or visa is needed – just a valid photo ID, such as a driver's licence or passport, to check in and board.
None. Tasmania and Victoria are in the same time zone and both observe daylight saving on the same dates, so Melbourne and Devonport share the same clock all year round.
