Immerse yourself in the splendid isolation of Tasmania on the Bay of Fires walk, famous for crystal-clear waters, pristine white beaches and orange lichen-covered granite boulders.
Explore the 38-km long Freycinet Promontory, a wild pristine coastline with beautiful beaches, clear blue seas and ancient forests scattered with rare wildflowers. Take a boat trip to a secluded beach away from the crowds to climb Mount Freycinet where you’ll witness unobscured, unprecedented views back across the Freycinet Peninsula and over Wineglass Bay. Overlook Wineglass Bay and its perfect arc of blond sand and ice-blue water.

ACCOMMODATION & DINING
OVERVIEW
The last two nights are at the fabulous Freycinet Lodge in rooms with ensuite bathrooms. Some have the added bonus of shared lounge rooms. We also stay in St Helens, at Tidal Waters on the first night. At Tidal Waters the accommodation is on the water and all the rooms have ensuites.
Each day you’ll be provided with a substantial walkers lunch. This may include a high protein type salad, a roll or a wrap, a muesli bar, cake or muffin and a piece of fruit. Lunch is always augmented by Auswalk’s famous trail mix so you’ll never go hungry. In addition to that, you’ll get to eat it at a fabulous location on the track. At Tidal Waters it is a 2 course a la carte meal (no alcohol provided, but ensuites are available). Breakfast are always cooked and prepared by the chefs at Freycinet Lodge and Tidal Waters. The fabulous two-course dinners at Freycinet Lodge are again prepared by their in-house chefs.
Alcohol and drinks are not included with meals (except tea/coffee and juice with breakfast).
FOR EACH DAY

GENERAL INFO
The walk starts in Launceston 7:30am and finishes in Launceston late afternoon around 4:30pm. 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 is 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 7.30am at the Quality Hotel Colonial, 31 Elizabeth Street, Launceston. The trip ends at approximately 4:30pm 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 strongly recommend the purchase of travel insurance for all of our trips. We require that you purchase a travel insurance policy for all travel overseas, as we charge a cancellation fee if you cancel your walking holiday after we have confirmed it. It is also important in the event of an accident or loss of property. See FAQ’s 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.
