FITNESS GUIDE

It’s well worth investing some time and effort preparing for your walking holiday. The graph shows the average daily distance, elevation and terrain difficulty for your hike. The dotted line indicates the average across all our walks, which will give you a feel for how challenging your walk is compared to all – and the recommended type, and amount, of preparation needed.  Of course, you can adapt this according to your existing fitness levels and lifestyle.

The graph and the information below can be used in conjunction with the fitness guide to help you prepare for your walking adventure. Across all walks, average daily distance is 16.8km, average daily elevation is 448m, average terrain difficulty is 5/10.

ngraph

BELOW AVERAGE

Distance is not a major consideration in your training program. However, you should still incorporate some long walks as it will increase your cardiovascular fitness.

ELEVATION - BELOW AVERAGE

Elevation is not a major consideration regarding how you train. However, you should still incorporate some form of resistance training as it will increase your endurance.

MIXED TERRAIN

SAND

Preparation for walking on sand necessitates specialised training owing to the soft and yielding nature of sand and its distinct impact on the body, specifically the calf muscles as you get older. The malleability of sand leads to the overextension of the calf muscles during ambulation, potentially resulting in discomfort and aches over prolonged periods. To mitigate this, it becomes imperative to cultivate lower body strength through targeted exercises, including but not limited to lunges, squats, and calf raises. Additionally, incorporate barefoot walks on soft surfaces such as grass to improve balance and foot muscle strength. Practice walking on the beach or sand dunes to acclimatise to the unique demands of a sandy terrain.

FLAT

Training for walking on flat, hard terrain primarily focuses on building endurance and ensuring you can maintain a comfortable pace. Start with regular walks on sidewalks, roads, or paved paths to acclimate to the surface. Maintain a proper posture and engage your core muscles to support your back and maintain a steady gait. Ensure that you have comfortable, supportive footwear with adequate cushioning. If endurance is important, consider incorporating low-impact cross-training activities like swimming or cycling into your routine.

GENERAL INFO

The walk starts in Launceston at 8:00 am and finishes in Launceston late afternoon around 5:00 pm. We have graded the walking on this trip as easy. The walking on the first two days on the Bay of Fires walk is easy to moderate, with some beach walking. At Freycinet, there are some steep sections but overall the walking is easy to moderate. This trip operates with two professional guides ensuring that you have both a safe and enjoyable walking holiday. Guides are knowledgeable of the area, including flora and fauna and they can offer easier and harder walk options along the way.

Pre and post-tour accommodation: There are many good hotels in Launceston, however, we pick up and drop off from the Quality Hotel Colonial. The tour starts at 8.00 am at the Quality Hotel Colonial, 31 Elizabeth Street, Launceston. The trip ends at approximately 5:00 pm on the last day in Launceston where we can also drop you off at Launceston airport.

For what to bring please refer to Gear Advice on our FAQ section.

WEATHER

Summer is our preferred time of year for hiking in Tasmania. The east coast is suitable from November to April.
See the Bureau of Meteorology for information about temperatures and rainfall ahead of time to ensure proper clothing.

INSURANCE

We require that you have adequate travel insurance against potential losses, damage or injury, including cancellation costs and loss of luggage.

For all trips that require international travel, you must have purchased travel insurance that also includes medical evacuation coverage.

We also charge a cancellation fee if you cancel your walking holiday after we have confirmed it to cover costs incurred from our suppliers and in the office.  See the FAQ section for more information.

INFORMATION PACK

For nearly 30 years we have taken pride in providing seamlessly organised walking holidays, but we know, even with that in mind, that you’ll have many more questions. You will receive a very detailed information pack and itinerary approximately 6 weeks out from departure outlining all the fine detail and much more.

    Attended the Bay of Fires and Freycinet 4 day tour

    As a first timer on a walking tour this tour was challenging but certainly not unachievable. Without a guided tour I would never have attempted the walks we did – but with the help of our two spectacular guides, Hugh and Merel, I was able to experience some fantastic scenery, places only accessible by walking or by boat and was encouraged and supported the whole way.

    During the tough moment cresting some hills (that my more experienced walking group mates pretty much flew up #respect) Merel and Hugh were encouraging, NEVER made me feel like I was lagging behind or less than the others and really made the whole experience worthwhile.

    Not only that, Merel and Hugh are actually just great human beings, who are interested in getting to know people and interesting to talk to.

    The accommodation was really good, the food great and the group size perfect.

    I couldn’t recommend this highly enough.

    My partner and I recently completed Australian Walking Holidays and were really pleased with all aspects of the trip. Pre-trip communication was really good, our three group leaders were wonderful, incredibly professional, efficient and friendly, the food and accommodation were fine, and the places we visited awe-inspiring. We will definitely use the company again and have no hesitation in recommending them.
