Tasmania's Freycinet Experience Walk

WALKING & TREKKING
This is a hiking trip. Please come physically prepared and with the right hiking gear in order to complete the hikes safely and comfortably. Please read the trip notes carefully and take note of the packing list.

START & END TIMES & LOCATION
We will collect you from our starting point location in central Hobart at 8am on Day 1 of the walk (please see the joining point section in the Essential Trip Information document for more information). On the last day we will transfer you to central Hobart by early evening. If you are flying out of Hobart on the last day we recommend you book flights no earlier than 5:30pm.

DIETARY REQUIREMENTS
It is very important that you advise us of any dietary requirements and allergies at least 2 weeks prior to departure. We need this information well ahead of time to be able organise catering for the trip. Freycinet's remote location means that specific food items will not be available on short notice, and once the trip has commenced changes to dietary requirements are not possible.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS
As we operate in remote areas, you will need to bring all of your own personal medications with you. While our leaders are qualified in remote area or wilderness first aid and carry satellite phones, we do not carry any emergency medications. If a person requires urgent medical attention during the trip, it may take several hours or more for emergency services to attend the scene and take you to a medical facility. If you have any pre-existing medical issues that will affect your ability to complete the trip or may have an impact on other guests’ experiences and you do not disclose these prior to the departure, we reserve the right to remove you from the trip.

SINGLE SUPPLEMENT
Individual travellers receive a private room at no additional cost.

OPERATIONS
This trip is operated by our trusted partner Freycinet Experience Walk in conjunction with Intrepid.

WEATHER CONDITIONS
Please note that the weather in Tasmania can change without notice, which may affect your itinerary. We reserve the right to alter the itinerary if deemed necessary for safety reasons. In particular the boat trip to Schouten Island is weather dependent and may be rescheduled to another day or replaced with an alternative activity should the weather not allow safe delivery of the boat cruise. Always carry additional warm clothing, including a waterproof outer layer.

Nestled among native coastal bushland, Friendly Beaches Lodge offers a unique and sustainable stay within Freycinet National Park. Set on a private sanctuary just moments from the beach, it is the only accommodation located on the coastal side of the park, providing a peaceful and secluded experience.

After a day of walking, relax in the comfortable shared lounge, enjoy a hearty meal, and unwind in your private bedroom. The award-winning lodge is thoughtfully designed to blend with its natural surroundings, featuring inviting communal spaces, large picture windows, and stunning views of the landscape.

Accommodation is spread across two lodges, each offering four bedrooms, a lounge with fireplace, bathroom facilities, and shared living areas, with a maximum of five guests sharing each lodge. Individual travellers receive a private room at no additional cost.
