With almost 30 years’ experience under our belts, we’ll take you safely down the road less travelled.
Walk with us or walk on your own, pack-free and fully supported. You’re in good company with Auswalk.
For nearly 30 years Auswalk has specialised in delivering guided, self-guided and customised walking holidays. We create a platform for guests to unplug and explore the most amazing landscapes as well as granting a backstage pass to the rich cultural history of regions, such as the Camino de Santiago or the Kumano Kodo. Our walks traverse tropical rainforests, and secluded beaches; journeying across ridges and over majestic mountain ranges. They find their way through ancient Roman towns, the French Riviera and to majestic Japanese temples and a wealth of other hidden gems.
Whether traversing the Great Ocean Walk, walking in Japan, exploring the Blue Mountains or walking in the remote wilderness of the outback, guests will be pampered at the end of the day in comfortable accommodation, in unique locations. We know the accommodation is important but not if we have to sacrifice the experience. We use the most authentic, characterful and intimate accommodations available. We know a friendly welcome, and all the comforts of home are worth their weight in gold, and that personality and family run is better than polished and impersonal.
We believe meals are to be remembered not just consumed. Meals are often accompanied with exceptional views or in a beautiful setting and you can be assured that fresh, locally sourced and high-quality ingredients are used. Local professional chefs prepare most breakfasts and dinners which enhances the food experience but also leaves more time for our guides to do what they love, that’s to guide.
Our passionate and committed guiding team have walked all over the world. All our guides are experienced people and have a comprehensive knowledge of local fauna, flora and history of the walks they are guiding on. Safety is important as is having wilderness first aid plus all the other relevant qualifications. They’re backed by a talented behind-the-scenes support team delivering thoughtful and insightful customer service. Our people love what they do, and it shows.
We travel responsibly, treading lightly, leaving no trace. We offset our emissions, power up with the use of solar and work with Odonata, one of Australian’s most progressive Conservation organisations. We are one of the original tourism organisations with Advanced Eco Tourism Accreditation. All of our walking holidays are designed to engage walkers as much as we can with nature to promote the value of the environment.
We have been designing walking holidays for nearly 30 years, so we know that the details are important. That’s why we have won more than a dozen tourism awards and are in the Adventure Tourism Hall of Fame. We create these once in a lifetime walking journeys which means we are hands-on with regard to our trips. We take pride in what we do, we’ve walked the tracks over and over (& over) to create the best possible experience for our walkers.
We love the idea of slow travel and we have perfected the notion of walking pack free at the perfect pace. Travelling on foot without a heavy pack means you slow down and really experience the world around you, the place and its people. Exploring pack free on foot is both eco-friendly and human-friendly. Carrying a very small backpack with less than a couple of kilos enhances the walking experience profoundly as does having access to a hot shower, a glass of wine, a good meal and a comfortable nights sleep.
