Our Tasmania walking trips
Tasmania walking highlights
Hike your way across Maria Island
Nature enthusiasts and history lovers will feel right at home on Maria Island with its fascinating Painted Cliffs and convict past. Hiking this scenic and significantly historical destination will not only allow you to rest your feet in the sand of some truly spectacular beaches but you’ll also get the chance to wander convict ruins and learn about the working life of the prisoners.
Walk the beautiful Bay of Fires coast
No matter where you go in Tasmania, you’re bound to step on extraordinary landscapes, but the breathtaking Bay of Fires coastline might just be the best of them all. Perfectly secluded on the state’s east coast, this sweeping stretch of sand will enchant you from the moment you lay eyes on its orange-hued granite and look out at the beautiful blues of its bay waters.
Explore Cradle Mountain National Park
Cradle Mountain may resemble a gold mining cradle (hence the name) but once you breathe in the freshest air in the world from within its rugged rainforests and from the banks of its glacial lakes, you’ll feel as though you’ve struck it rich. With plenty of trails to suit every fitness level and fascinating wildlife to spot behind every tree branch, you’ll never want to leave this natural wonderland.
Breathe in the fresh air at Bruny Island
If Tasmania is already an incredibly rich state when it comes to natural landscapes, then Bruny Island is the exclamation point. From the heavenly white sand of Cloudy Bay Beach to the rugged terrain leading to the heritage-listed Cape Bruny Lighthouse, this scenic spot boasts a myriad of trails your feet will undoubtedly love and a million views your camera won’t stop taking pictures of.
Adventure through Freycinet National Park
A Tasmanian walking tour isn’t complete without a trip to Freycinet National Park and the moment you breathe in the pure air while scanning its jaw-dropping horizon, you’ll know why it’s a must-visit. Remote in location and renowned for its natural beauty – think iconic beaches, lighthouse landscapes, and rugged mountains - this place boasts one of Tasmania’s most celebrated views, the lovely Wineglass Bay.
Sample some of Tasmania’s tastiest wines
Just because you’re on a walking tour doesn’t mean all the fun has to be had on two feet. Put down the backpack, kick up your heels, and rehydrate at one of Tasmania’s premier wineries scattered throughout the state. Whether you prefer a dry, cool climate chardonnay, a full-bodied red, or a bubbly sparkling, there are approximately 200 vineyards you can drop into for a drop of your favourite grape-y beverage.

A very enjoyable trip. The Hartz Peak walk was a highlight. Dinners were generous. Accommodation was simple but a warm shower and clean bed were all that was required at the end of a long walk. Stacey and Jai were fantastic guides and very knowledgeable about Tasmanian history, flora and fauna.
