Delightful guides, beautiful scenery, great food. We were pleased to meet up with David and Kathleen again. They were understanding, flexible and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed the Flinder’s Is experience. Liked the way they provided two options for the walks. My husband managed the more challenging routes and I took the shorter options.

The walks we did were varied and beautiful in their own individual ways.

Stunning location, great coastal walking, lots of wildlife, varied food options, excellent guides … a great walking destination.

Dave & Kathleen were terrific! They were very accommodating, considerate and helpful and made sure that we all got the best out of the walks, tailoring them to our different capabilities. It was also great to have guides in a similar age group to me (for a change). The walks were very varied and the guides’ knowledge of the island was a great bonus, making them so much more interesting. The extra-curricular activities were a joy: the wombat sanctuary and the visit to the vineyard – an unexpected bonus.

Another excellent Auswalk hike. Nothing was too much trouble for local guides David and Kathleen. From the early morning airport pickup until the late afternoon drop off, they were always available, warm and welcoming. They both clearly love the island and made sure we left with a genuine understanding of the history of the area. Tassie weather was kind us, warm, no rain and not much wind. The seven day itinerary meant hiking days could be swapped around depending on the weather. Two highlights were the Mount Strzelecki hike, hard going up, harder coming down and an afternoon swim at Allports Beach.
A quiet unspoilt Island well worth visiting.

A very friendly and professional team, both in the office and on the ground, ensured we had a really satisfying and enjoyable trip. We’ll definitely use Auswalks again.

Great walk full of challenging ups and coastal rambles. Accommodation and meals were excellent. A walk with interesting scenery and history. Thoroughly recommended.
Ian & Chris H
As usual Auswalk’s organisation was top-class. The walking was a variety of coastal and on beach walks with brilliant contrast of white sand, blue water and orange lichen covered boulders, and mountains with great views and interesting vegetation and boulders beside the tracks. The very challenging Strzelecki Peaks was well managed by our guides to enable every one to make it as far as they could – done in a thoughtful and caring manner. The skill, knowledge and friendliness of the guides really makes Auswalk standout as a company to walk and holiday with – thanks Marie.
Accommodation and meals were top class – well done Annie.

From the top of Mt Strzelecki to the coastal white sandy beaches, this is one of the best walking holidays ever ! AusWalk staff helpful and fun. Accommodation fab and organic food was an unexpected highlight. Highly recommend.

This was a great trip, staying in an eco lodge, with a stunning chef. The walks were varied, and the guides knowledgeable and had an easy yet professional rapport with the group. Nothing was too much trouble. Just be aware the accommodation has varying sized rooms.

One of Australia’s best kept secrets. Accommodation, guides, walks are a credit to Auswalk. This was our 4th walk with them and have never been disappointed. This would have to be a dream walk for anyone but don’t think it’s glamping because there are some challenging options if you want. So go to Flinders with Auswalk before the rest of the world discover it.

We’ve done one guided walk (Flinders Island) and two self-guided (WA Cape to Cape and Victoria’s Great SW Walk) with Auswalk in the last 5 years. Each time we’ve had a wonderful experience – fantastic walking, memorable accommodation and hosts, and (mostly) great food. The folks at Auswalk pay huge attention to detail when organising trips and when writing notes for the self-guided walks. With the understandable disclaimer that the remoteness of some locations limits the choices for accommodation and meals, they clearly make an effort to pamper walkers at the start and end of each day.
Our recent Great SW Walk was the shorter version – about half of the 250 km total. We began and ended in Portland, with much of the initial forest section omitted, but most of the beautiful river sections and spectacular coastal sections included. Auswalk were happy to accommodate our request for 7 rather than 6 days’ walking, which allowed us to spread out the unusually long first two days (~27 km each) to three days of ~20, 14 and 20 km – a much more pleasant way to begin, allowing us to enjoy each day without pressure.
As for accommodation on the GSWW – the beautifully renovated Lorelei B&B in Portland (built in 1915 as a doctor’s home / office), was a particular favourite. Roger was an excellent and generous host offering an amazing breakfast and complimentary wine, beer and nibbles each evening. We loved sitting in the bay window looking out at the rose garden, sipping a glass of sparkling wine before dinner. We also had a memorable stay at the Nelson Cottage B&B, where our room used to be a police station (built in 1885 and comfortably updated), and where we greatly enjoyed John & Trish’s warm hospitality. John’s extensive knowledge of the area was a bonus.
We frequently come to Australia from Canada to visit family. Each time we look forward to including another Auswalk in our plans. Based on our experience, we recommend Auswalk without reservation.
