What our Walkers Say
The whole walk was the best part! And the team at Auswalk were fabulous. Always available and really helpful when we needed them.
Lily S
The walk was by far the highlight of my autumn trip to Japan. The trail itself is absolutely gorgeous in late autumn with the maple leaves turning red and behind the scenes, Auswalk provided everything I needed, including some lovely choices of accommodation, to enjoy this amazing experience.
Cody R
This trek was amazing, and accommodation provided an opportunity to have a genuine traditional Japanese experience away from the busyness of a modern city.
The Blue Mountains guided walk on 12 - 15 October 2025 was a wonderful experience. It exceeded our expectations. Expertly guided by Robyn Totanhofer and superbly organised, the walk covered the outstanding natural beauty of the Blue Mountains in detail. Robyn took the time to seek each person's interests, identifying the flora and explaining notable landscape features perfectly. The walk organisation was outstanding. Accommodation in the Carrington Hotel was delightful. Also, the experience was similarly rewarding to our Western Australian Cape to Cape Auswalk in November 2022, guided by Katie and Marie.
Ian, Blue Mountains Grand Traverse
We recently completed the 5-day self-guided Great Ocean Walk. Not only was the walk itself amazing, but the organisation provided by Auswalk was absolutely seamless. Perfectly planned from the day I first enquired about the booking until we returned to Camperdown train station (where our Auswalk connection concluded). Just awesome! Thank you so much - we are already planning our next walking adventure.

1. What does "self-guided" mean on an Auswalk trip?
A self-guided walk means you can explore at your own pace using detailed track notes and navigation tools provided by Auswalk. You'll have the freedom to walk independently while enjoying the security of 24/7 support from the Auswalk team. Our Australian self-guided trips are only availible for groups of two or more walkers. Your safety is our priority, therefore we aren't able to accommodate solo walkers on our self-guided itineraries. If you're a solo walker looking to explore Australia's incredible landscapes, we highly reccomend joining a group-guided trip.
-
-
2.What does "group-guided" mean on an Auswalk trip?
A group-guided trip means you'll walk with expert guides and like-minded travellers. The guides take care of all the details so you can enjoy the trails without any worries.
-
3.Will I have to carry a heavy pack?
No, Auswalk arranges for your luggage to be transferred between accommodations, allowing you to walk with just a daypack carrying your essentials.
-
4.How fit do I need to be for Auswalk's Australian itineraries?
This depends on which itinerary you choose - we offer walks ranging from easy to challenging. Whichever walk you choose, we highly recommend investing time into physically preparing for the walk - this will make your time much more enjoyable and ensure you don't miss out on any epic sights! You can find more information about training for your walk in our Australian Walker's Guide, or through the Auswalk website. On most walks we offer shortening options to accommodate all types of travellers.
-
5.What kind of accommodation is provided on Auswalk's Australian trips?
Accommodation options vary depending on which itinerary you choose, however, all trips are hand picked by Auswalk staff based off their comfort, quality, and location to ensure walkers are well rested. Most accommodation is 3-4 stars, with the exception of a few luxury 5 star lodges. All rooms are private (there's no dorms or camping on our trips), and most of the time feature a private ensuite. Occasionally on our group-guided trips you may have to share a bathroom with fellow travelleres when staying at one of our beautiful lodges. Speak with our alking experts about accommodation upgrade options at the time of booking.
-
6.Are meals included in the trip?
Meals are included on most of our Auswalk trips and typically consist of a cooked or continental breakfast, a packed walker's lunch, and chef-prepared dinner. On some of our trips, lunch and dinner are not included - this is because the location has an abundance of resturants and cafes to choose from and we don't want to limit your culinary options.
-
7.Can dietary requirements be catered for?
Yes, Auswalk can cater to various dietary needs. It's important to inform them of any specific requirements when booking to ensure appropriate arrangements are made.
-
8.How to luggage transfers work?
Whilst you're on the trail, your main luggage is transported to the next accommodation - this means you don't have to lug all of your belongings across these epic landscapes. Instead, you'll walk with a light daypack filled only with essentials like a waterbottle, mobile phone, warm clothes, sunscreen, etc. A comprehensive daypack list is provided to all walkers in the walk notes.

We recommend adding an exploration rest day to make the most of your Cape to Cape Trip.
Three Capes Walk
Pydairrerme Country
Tasmania
Discover the breathtaking Tasman Peninsula, just 90 minutes from Hobart, where history meets unmatched natural beauty. The Tasman Peninsula boasts some of the country’s tallest sea cliffs. These massive dolerite columns formed over 180 million years ago and reach heights of up to 300m. This region is also home to the Port Arthur Historic Site, one of Australia’s most significant and well-preserved convict colonies.
Australia's Best Forest Walks
Enchanting Expeditions Through Ancient Natural Wonderlands.
Gold Coast Hinterland
Bundjalung Country
Queensland
Located in the Gondwana rainforests, the Gold Coast Hinterland is part of the largest protected area of subtropical rainforest in the world. Walk past giant fig trees and cascading waterfalls, stroll along tree-top tracks, then finish off with a refreshing dip in one of the many swimming holes. With cozy rainforest lodges to rest in each night, the Hinterland is the perfect immersive getaway.
Bibbulmun Track
Bibbulmun Country
Western Australia
Named after its traditional custodians, the Bibbulmun People of the Noongar Nation, this track stretches 1000km all the way from Perth to Albany on the south coast of Western Australia. Our itineraries traverse the most spectacular sections of the trail, winding through biodiversity hotspots with flora and fauna found nowhere else. Discover the gigantic 400-year-old Karri and Red Tingle trees. Walk along clifftop tracks, treetop boardwalks, and past spectacular wildflowers.
Tarkine & Cradle Mountain

The Tarkine is a vast rainforest in Tasmania’s northwest, home to the country’s largest cool-temperate rainforest. This 65-million-year-old forest is also a biodiversity hotspot, protecting over 60 endangered species, including the Tasmanian devil. Just east of the Tarkine, you’ll find Cradle Mountain, a world-heritage listed national park sculpted by ancient glaciers. The area is a living museum for Gondwana flora and is also the starting point of the world-famous Overland Track.
Australia's Best Outback Walks
Otherworldly Walks Through Lush Oases and Red Ochre Canyons
Carnarvon Gorge
Bidjara & Garingbal Country
Queensland
Discover Carnarvon Gorge, an outback oasis in the arid heart of central Queensland.

Protected by splendid isolation, Carnarvon Gorge remains an untouched relic of prehistoric geography and First Nations history.
Flinders Ranges
Adnyamathanha Country
South Australia
Ikara-Flinders Ranges is a 600-million-year-old gateway to the desert that tells the story of millions of years of geological and biological evolution.

Australia's Best Island Walks
Spectacular Walks Across Secluded Paradises
Flinders Island
Tasmania
Just a short 30-minute flight from Launceston or 45 minutes from Melbourne, Flinders Island is Australia’s hidden gem, waiting to be explored. The largest of 52 islands in the Furneaux Group, Flinders Island is a diverse sanctuary for plants and animals. Home to only 800 residents, the Island has an ‘end of the world’ charm to it, leaving visitors with a true sense of tranquillity.
Lord Howe Island

Lord Howe Island is a World Heritage listed paradise located 600km off the coast of NSW. The island is framed by twin volcanic peaks and features some of Australia's most spectacular walks. Access to the Island is strictly limited to 400 visitors at any time, ensuring the pristine environment remains undisturbed. Lord Howe is also home to the world's southernmost coral reef, offering exceptional snorkelling. The island is so small that you can reach all of it on foot, making Lord Howe the ultimate walking holiday destination.
