Having just completed the self guided Lake St Clair/ Cradle Mountain walk with Auswalk I have only the highest regard for how well the holiday was put together. From the outset the contact with the staff, mainly Sanyana was most efficient and friendly. There was the on again off again Covid related travel issues also at this time for her to deal with. The pre travel information booklets and maps were very detailed and all information for both areas was to be found within them.The lunchbox and eating utensils provided were an added extra. All our transfers provided by Overland Travel were excellent. All three drivers had great local knowledge and were prompt and friendly. The accommodation was fantastic and the meals were great. Certainly didn’t go hungry. I can highly recommend Auswalk to anyone who is perhaps wondering if this is for them.I am well over 70 so don’t let age hold you back. Thanks to all the Auswalk Team.

We were very happy with our walking experience and are very likely to book another walk in the near future. One thing that impressed us was the high level of attention to detail that had obviously been paid, so that we didn’t have to think of anything ourselves from start to finish but just go with the flow and enjoy ourselves. The level of detail included such things as opening times of every restaurant or information centre etc that we encountered, suggestions where to stop along the trail, detailed maps highlighted by hand with landmarks to look out for and even the name of the driver of the lake transport boat and suggestion to ask him to recite some local poetry! Even more impressive was the swift and caring response received from staff at Auswalk when early in the trip we experienced a small hiccup with food at the first accommodation provider, arising due to us being the first Auswalk group to stay there since the covid shutdown. I received a phone call within minutes of emailing, the issue was fixed the same day and I received another phone call to follow up later that same day. The staff were very obviously sincerely concerned, had a lovely, caring manner and did their very best to help. The drivers from OTT, Steve, Sean and Dan, were also very friendly, polite and helpful and we greatly enjoyed chatting with them and learned a lot about the local area and other places in Tasmania that we might visit. We also felt that they were all very good, extremely safety-conscious drivers with a lot of experience on the local roads as well as the walking routes that we were undertaking. Our whole family really had a great time and we only wished we could have extended the walk by a few more days.

My Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair trip was the first time I had used Auswalk. Very impressed with their professionalism. Very good communicators. Any questions are answered very promptly. Very easy to navigated booking and payment systems and best of all – all the arrangements they had made for my trip in Tasmania ran like clockwork. A good team using good people to deliver the promised services. Once you are in their care at the agreed starting point, you have no further worries, just enjoy the wonderful scenery of your walk until they deliver you back to an agreed finishing point. very impressed, would certainly use Auswalk again and have no hesitation in highly recommending them.

We recently completed the Lake St Clair/Cradle Mountain walk in Tasmania. All the arrangements by Auswalk went perfectly. The maps/walk notes etc were all detailed and made for trouble free walking and the routes were a good balance of challenging/easier. The scenery is spectacular. All the accommodation was of a high standard, we particularly liked Peppers at Cradle Mountain. We would highly recommend Auswalk and would certainly use them again for walking holidays in the future.

We were a bit apprehensive doing it on our own but the maps and walking notes were great and it proved to be a wonderful alternative which gave us flexibility to do short or long walking days, different walking destinations in the areas we were staying and change our days to suit ourselves. The two accommodation offerings at Lake St Claire Lodge and Peppers Cradle Mountain were both wonderful, the service was great and the food was excellent, including our walkers lunch that was prepared for us in the mornings to take with us in our backpacks. The shuttle transfers worked like clockwork and it turned out to be a fabulous way to see that part of Tasmania. I will have to go back now to see the rest of Tassie!

Just completed the Lake St Clair/Cradle Mountain self guided walk with Auswalk. Would highly recommend this walk/company. Beautiful scenery, walks suitable for experienced/novice trekking. All arrangements went like clockwork, excellent documentation and maps. Accommodation all of a high standard
