About this tour

What to expect

Daily walks range from gentle coastal strolls to moderate mountain terrain, typically two to four hours. You'll camp near each region to maximise time outdoors rather than in transit. Guides share Tasmanian ecology, Aboriginal history, and European settlement narratives as you walk. Wildlife spotting happens throughout—wallabies, echidnas, and seabirds are common. The Bonorong visit is structured; devil encounters are supervised. Weather is changeable; rain and wind are standard, especially on coastal days. Accommodation is comfortable but modest—six nights in a mix of hotels and lodges.

Good to know

Bring waterproof jacket, sturdy hiking boots, and layers. Mobile coverage is patchy inland. Gratuities not included. Minimum moderate fitness required; those with spinal injuries, pregnancy, or heart conditions should seek medical clearance beforehand.
