First let me say that the overall trip was amazing and far exceeded my expectations. Secondly the food was impressive! Not one meal was less than delicious and I was staggered that food could be produced to that standard for that many people within the limitations of being hiked in and cooked on fuel stoves. Clearly it is a well honed machine.

Frequently asked questions
Do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.
Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards
From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).
However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.
Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.
How to get to Tasmania
Getting to Tasmania is fairly simple with only two options depending on where in Australia or in the rest of the world you're coming from. Tasmania has two major airports, Hobart International Airport and Launceston airport, that facilitate services to each of Australia's states. Hobart International Airport also welcomes services from international airlines such as Etihad Airways, Air New Zealand, Singapore Airlines, and American Airlines (among others). If you don't want to fly, you can catch the Spirit of Tasmania from Victoria (Port Melbourne) which will take you to the coastal town of Devonport (about an hour's drive from Launceston).
When is the best time to walk in Tasmania?
Tasmania enjoys fairly nice weather all year round with mild summers and cold to freezing winters that result in snow-dusted landscapes in some areas. This means that the best time to go on a walking tour in Tasmania can differ depending on what type of weather you want to experience. If you want the days to feature sparkling blue skies and warming sunshine then traveling during the months of September through to February is the way to go. If you want crisper weather and wonderland-like scenery then head to the island state from the months of March to August.
What to pack for a trip to Tasmania?
Determining what to pack for a trip to Tasmania largely depends on what time of year you're planning on going with the state experiencing mild summers and cold to freezing winters. Regardless of when you're traveling, it's wise to pack some comfortable walking shoes, a hat/beanie, sunscreen, a camera, a reusable drink bottle, and a backpack/day bag. You should also pack weather-appropriate clothing such as coats and rainproof jackets, socks, and thermal tops and pants for winter, as well as dresses, shorts, and t-shirts for summer.
What are the best walks to do in Tasmania?
Tasmania is filled to the brim with breathtaking landscapes and there is a myriad of walks to ensure you can see as much natural beauty as possible. Here are our a few of favorite trails:
Tahune Airwalk
Lake St Clair Circuit, Cradle Mountain
Dove Lake Circuit, Cradle Mountain
Wineglass Bay Lookout, Freycinet
Hartz Peak, Hartz Mountains National Park
Overland Track, Cradle Mountain
Three Capes Track
Are Intrepid's Tasmania walking tours easily accessible?
Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible , regardless of ability or disability. That’s why we do our best to help as many people see the world as possible, regardless of any physical or mental limitations they might have. However, we’re always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them towards the most suitable itinerary for their needs and where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

Glide over the mirror-like water, taking in breathtaking views of both rainforest and river. We disembark once we reach the coast, where we will explore the spectacular and remote Tarkine Coast by foot before returning.
Flexible walking itineraries
Choose what suits you
We offer flexible walking options with easier and more challenging itineraries. For example, on day three choose a walk to stunning Mt Farrell or an easier walk to Montezuma Falls. On day 2 you can opt-out of the day’s walk and simply relax around the lodge.

We depart Launceston travelling west where we will make a brief stop en route in Sheffield, known as the “Town of Murals,” which offers a glimpse into Tasmania’s vibrant arts scene, where walls are adorned with colourful depictions of local history and culture. From here we continue on to Tullah the gateway to the Tarkine, here the scenery transitions into a wilderness of untamed beauty. Arriving at Tullah, we enjoy a short lakeside walk, meandering past the tranquil shores of beautiful Lake Rosebery. With each step, the symphony of nature crescendos – the rustle of leaves, the gentle ripple of water, and the distant call of native birds. As the sun sets, the Lakeside Lodge emerges like a sanctuary amidst the wilderness, promising a night of serenity. We spend the night at the charming Tullah Lakeside Lodge. Enjoy a hearty meal in the hotel restaurant, accompanied by Tasmanian wine.
PLEASE NOTE: When booking your own flights into Launceston ensure your flight arrives no later than 11am to allow for any unexpected delays. After arrival into Launceston make your own way to the Hotel Grand Chancellor to meet our guides in the foyer of the hotel. Please ensure you eat lunch before meeting us this day.

MAIN WALK ITINERARY: After breakfast we head out to our walk which is very close to the lodge. The walk ascends steeply through forests into the alpine environment and the summit of Mt Farrell. As you ascend, be prepared to be captivated by panoramic sweeping vistas of untamed forests, sweeping valleys, and distant mountain ranges that stretch over the Tarkine, down the west coast and inland to Cradle Mountain. Traverse winding trails adorned with native flora and fauna, immersing yourself in the pristine beauty of Tasmania’s wilderness. After our walk we transfer to Corinna for the next 2 nights at the charming Corinna Wilderness Resort. Corinna was once a historical gold mining settlement in the 1800s and as such this remote Resort still has some of the historical buildings of this era.

This river is engulfed by stunning rainforest with mirror-like reflections at every turn. Our boat transfer drops us off at the edge of the forest, where the river spills into the sea. From here we head north to the coastline to do a section of the ‘Tarkine Coast Track’. This Coastline is one of the world’s wildest and most spectacular stretches of coastline. Looking out to sea, you would need to travel 2/3 of the entire globe before you reached land again in South America. This spot is like nothing you have ever seen; marvel at the huge surf driven by the roaring 40s, coastal meadows and rocky headlands. Sea eagles, Tasmanian Devils, wombats and seabirds all make this wild coastline their home. Late afternoon we return to our accommodation at the Corinna Wilderness Lodge for a relaxing dinner in the Tannin Restaurant and to chat about today’s adventures.

As we traverse the trail, be captivated by the allure of moss-covered trees, diverse fungi, adding to the trail’s allure. This extended hike seamlessly combines the elements of river, forest, hill, and a secluded pontoon to take in the tranquility. Finishing this walk we’ll jump on the bus to transfer 1hr to the Philosopher Falls walk. This scenic 2km walk sends us down to a multi-tiered waterfall where we’ll learn about James “Philosopher” Smith, the man who changed the fortunes of the entire state of Tasmania.

It is astonishing that we still need to campaign to save Tasmania’s Tarkine wilderness in the second decade of the 21st century. But we do. The threats are real and current: some Eucalypts and rainforest coupes are to be logged in the next three years, 95% of the region is subject to mineral exploration permits and, off-road vehicles continue to destroy fragile coastal aboriginal sites with nobody held to account. To see how you can help. Click on the link below to the “Save the Tarkine”. You can sign up to get involved and find out how you can help save this unique and threatened landscape.

Words from happy walkers
Couldn't have been better! Much more than a pub tour, it was an excellent glimpse into the lifestyle of early Hobart and the interesting characters of the times. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very patiently answered all our questions. Great fun even if you aren't a drinker - the 2 pubs we stopped in are quite happy to serve hot nonalcoholic beverages to ward off the chill!
A must do tour in Hobart for everyone! What a wonderful way to spend some time in Hobart. In just 90 minutes we learned many new and interesting facts about the history of Hobart despite being Tasmanians and having spent years living in Hobart. Never knew there was a Hunter Island and a causeway which are marked with bronze plaques in Hunter Street. Other facts of interest included the Hobart "Water Gate"; that the Town Hall is a replica of a building in Rome; the location of the former Gaol and where public hangings were carried out; where Governor Collins is buried and the stories behind the preserved headstones in St David's Park and how Salamanca Place was given its' name. Best of all, guide Barry was personable, knowledgeable and kept our interest the entire time. So pleased we decided to be "tourists" for a day in Hobart.
Hobart Urban Walk...new discoveries! Our Claremont College VET Tourism class walked the streets of old and new Hobart with our terrific tour guide John. His passion for this historic Australian city showed in his knowledge and presentation. A few favourite discoveries were 'ghost signs', the rivulet running through the city, learning the history of the historic buildings and getting tour guide tips along the way.... Thanks John and Hobart Historic Tours.
Old Hobart Pub Tour. One of the best “city tours” we’ve done ... anywhere! Our Guide John was fantastic - very knowledgeable and very easy to get on with. Easy to organise and then a lovely stroll through the streets of down town Hobart visiting some great pubs! I would recommend this tour and Hobart Historic Tours generally to anyone! Spoil yourselves - you won’t regret it!
Thank you for booking us on the Grand Hobart Walk. I would just like to say that our guide Bill was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, engaging and has a genuine passion for his role. We would definitely recommend Bill and the organisation.
Welcoming and informative Old Hobart Pub Walking Tour Maggie is one of the most accomplished tour guides we have ever had the pleasure of learning from. Friendly, kind, knowledgeable. The walking tour itself was full of interesting content delivered expertly and engagingly. We had a group of eight and we were all friends by the end. Would recommend again and again. Thank you Hobart Historic Tours.
Happy to report that Maggie was flexible with the start time after we decided to do some impromptu art! She took us on an intriguing trip back in time and now when I walk around Hobart I’m seeing so much more interesting things than I did before. The pub visits were perfect and ensured we had adequate hydration and nutrition.
I can’t recommend the experience, or Maggie as guide, enough.
Loved every minute of the walking tour! Tony was very friendly and knowledgeable and his passion for the history of Hobart was wonderful. He prepared maps for us to help us get our bearings and he had lots of old photos to share. We loved learning about this beautiful city from a local who obviously loves living here. Thank you, Tony, for sharing your knowledge and stories with us.
Our Tour Guide Sara was wonderful. She was enthusiastic, easy to be with, very willing to answer questions and provided lots of very interesting information.
I will recommend the walk to other visitors and local residents.

Turn taps off when not in use, and please be especially mindful of places that rely on rain-water tanks. Turn off lights, heating or aircon when you’re not in your room. Help us Keep Wildlife Wild – your guides will explain more about how to do this while on tour.
Do I need travel insurance?
We endorse the recommendation of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade that all travellers take out travel insurance. If you already have Travel Insurance please understand that it is your responsibility to ensure that your Travel Insurance covers you for all of the adventure style travel you have booked with us.

The top 5 remote stays in Tasmania
Kate Hennessy
Travel Journalist
23 May 2024
Nowhere in Australia has mastered middle-of-nowhere luxury like Tasmania. Expect silence, solitude and quite a lot of moss.
If accommodation with a splash of Tasmanian noir and a dash of edge-of-the-world remoteness is what you crave, look no further than these five stays. Each brings a unique take on getting guests disconnected from daily life and in sync with nature instead. Easily spooked? Bring a partner or pal.
1. The Keep
The Keep in Tasmania/lutruwita’s north east ticks all of the remote accommodation boxes – and then some. It begins with the drive. As the nearest tiny town of Pioneer fades in the rear-view mirror, the dirt roads get increasingly narrow, and wombats lumber obliviously from the bush.

Few, if any, people come down these old logging roads. An iron gate five kilometres from the accommodation is extra assurance you won’t see another human (unless a private chef or helicopter trip has been arranged).
The property’s bushwalks showcase lush man-ferns. (Image: Roz & Loz)
Shortly before arrival the road inclines steeply above the tree line and The Keep looms into view. Built on a stony 650-metre pinnacle in the style of the towers favoured by European nobility during the Middle Ages as lookouts for invaders, the building has 360-degree views of the Bay of Fires and Flinders Island. The property’s 101 hectares of private reserve is set within a much larger sea of trees, so the solitude and silence are overwhelming.
You won’t forget the moment you see The Keep pop into view. (Image: Stu Gibson)
The Keep is kitted out with vinyl records, a bijou reading room, Tasmanian noir artworks, eight ways to make coffee and a sleek mid-century bar with a bottle of Lark whisky. In the fridge is local wine, beer, a selection of vintage French Champagne and high-quality breakfast provisions.
Listen to vinyl by the fireplace. (Image: Ben Little)
Nestled among dramatic granite boulders, an outdoor bath offers panoramic views, while the property’s bushwalks showcase lush man-ferns, Tasmania’s oldest Myrtle Beech tree and some rather startled pademelons.

The Keep is targeted at couples with no kids or pets in tow. Solo travellers should bring a pal (who they’re comfortable sharing a King bed with) because going alone may be too ‘Capital A’ alone for some. Avoid driving at dawn, dusk or at night when wildlife is on the move.

2. Corinna Wilderness Experience
Because Corinna offers several cottages, campsites and a pub, you may forget you’re in the middle of one of only three cool temperate rainforests globally: takayna/The Tarkine . This wilderness is half the size of Lebanon and is where the survival competition series Alone Australia (Season 1) was filmed. The nearest town of Waratah is an hour-plus drive down an unsealed road. The west coast town of Strahan , meanwhile, is 60 kilometres south.
Stay in the middle of a cool temperate rainforest. (Image: Chris Crerar)
Corinna was established in the 1890s on the traditional land of the Petaanidik peoples as a township for “miners and piners”. These days, it’s a rustic and convivial place to meet fellow travellers though the frontier look and feel remains strong.
The Tarkine Hotel is tucked within a remote and rugged landscape. (Image: Chris Crerar)
Several hikes leave from Corinna’s grounds. The Whyte River loop is both enchanting and easy, while the longer and harder Mt Donaldson trail is a short drive away. On clear days, rented kayaks can be paddled on the tannin-stained Pieman River (keep an eye out for platypus or sea eagles.) Cabins are equipped to prepare simple meals, but most guests congregate on the Tarkine Hotel for pub grub.
Go kayaking along the Pieman River. (Image: Chris Crerar)
Tree lovers will spy Huon pine, myrtle beech, sassafras and leatherwood trees in the misty, mossy, luminously green rainforest. Autumn is fungi season when The Tarkine’s multicoloured mushrooms are a highlight. Tasmanian devils and spotted-tailed quolls can be seen, and the cool damp environment is also home to invertebrates such as large Land Snails, Walking Worms and the world’s largest freshwater invertebrate, the Giant Tasmanian Freshwater Crayfish.
Corinna offers several cottages, campsites and a pub. (Image: Chris Crerar)
3. Pumphouse Point
At the tippy top of a 275-metre jetty on leeawuleena/Lake St Clair is the five-storey, adults-only guest house, Pumphouse Point . Completed in 1940 as a pumphouse for Tasmania’s Hydro-Electric Commission, it is particularly photogenic at night when illuminated by red lights. Sleeping on the lake with crows cawing by is an experience of pure Tasmanian noir.
Pumphouse Point sits on leeawuleena/Lake St Clair. (Image: Adam Gibson)
Based at the southern end of Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park , this is a walkers’ wonderland with 100 kilometres of tracks, including the magical Overland Track . If it’s not great weather for an intrepid walk, e-bikes, rowboats, books and board games will keep you entertained.

While larders and honesty bars are provided, room rates include breakfasts and dinners in the Shorehouse restaurant, with set menus featuring seasonal ingredients. Don’t miss a lakeside stroll for driftwood spotting.

4. On Board
The Southwest National Park is Tasmania’s largest expanse of wilderness and perhaps its most fearsomely inaccessible of all. This is why On Board ‘s expedition vessel, Odalisque III , is such a treat.

With a passenger list capped at 12, founder and skipper Pieter van der Woude sails nature lovers to parts of the national park network that are otherwise impossible to access.

On Board’s signature experience is a five-day journey around Port Davey . This area has three hats: a national park, a protected marine park and a UNESCO Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.
Nature lovers can join a five-day journey around Port Davey.
Guests can choose walking-oriented trips (think rainforests, button grass plains and quartzite mountain peaks), wellness journeys (journalling and cold plunging), or dedicated photography expeditions. Back onboard, food miles are minimised, and local materials and makers are featured.
Guest can choose a range of different trips. (Image: Jarrad Seng)
5. Satellite Island
Your destination is an island off an island off an island. And once there you (and up to eight companions) will have it all to yourself. The best way to reach the end-of-the-world beauty of Satellite Island is from Hobart via Bruny Island . Stock up on provisions on Bruny and maybe you’ll get to supplement them with wild-caught oysters or abalone plucked from the water close to your bed.
Satellite Island is a whale-shaped landmass off Bruny Island. (Image: Adam Gibson)
The two bedrooms in The Boathouse were once salmon feed sheds. The original roller doors remain, so the stars and sunrise are viewable while horizontal. Up a cliff-face stairway is the three-bedroom Summer House.
The Boathouse is a quirky stay. (Image: Kara Rosenlund)
There, guests will also find chickens for fresh eggs, an open fireplace, a stone fruit orchard, a garden full of fragrant herbs and, best of all, a Japanese onsen-style bath that fills with ocean water heated to 38 degrees.
Wake up to stunning water views. (Image: Kara Rosenlund)
So much, or so little, can be done on Satellite Island. At low tide, you can walk the 30-hectare island on foot to see the ancient fossils in the rock shelf or circumnavigate it by kayak. Sunsets are wonderful at Last Glimpse Point with nothing between you and Antarctica .
Settle into a remote but luxe island abode. (Image: Luisa Brimble)
Sandy roams and beachcombs showcase hidden coves and shorelines clunking with glossy pebbles. Alternatively, walk the island’s interior to see native golden grasses rippling in the breeze. While tropical islands get all the glory, Tasmanian ones are better.

Self Guided Walks
Explore some of our finest wilderness destinations at your own pace as you embark on a self guided trek. It’s flexibility at its finest; you get to decide how many rest breaks you want to have, how fast you want to walk, when you want to eat, and what side trips you want to take, unlike guided tours which follow a specific itinerary where these details are often planned for you. With detailed route descriptions, transfers, logistics, fees, permits, meals and equipment organised for you, your cares and worries will be limited to how often you want to stop to take photos.
On our self guided trips you’ll find you’ll have a heightened connection to your destination, immersing your senses in the sights and sounds, all at a relaxed pace with groups that require only two people to operate. With complete freedom you’ll explore fascinating landscapes rich in history, culture and beauty.
Each of our self guided trips begin with an orientation session: your chance to ask our expert staff as many questions as you want about the route, destination, logistics and more. Once you’re off and away on your journey, you can take comfort in that the detailed maps and route notes will get you from A to B in ease. Feeling stuck? Our support staff are only a call away.

Discovery & Cruising
These are our least demanding trips. These journeys of discovery and cruises involve little or no extended activity and are suitable for people with a basic level of fitness and good health. The itinerary may take place in remote areas (with basic facilities) and may involve long travelling days on various types of transport. Sightseeing may be conducted on foot and all participants should be capable of carrying their own luggage from vehicle to hotel rooms.
Adventure Touring
These adventure tours sometimes may visit remote areas where facilities are often basic. Many of these trips sometimes involve some camping or basic lodging. They will often involve long journeys and rough roads. To enjoy these adventures we suggest reasonable fitness and health, a moderately active lifestyle and a positive attitude.
Introductory
These trips involve trekking or walking for up to five or six hours a day at a slow but steady pace. You will need a reasonable level of fitness and good health. Terrain may include undulations, rocky surfaces, bush scrub or boardwalks.
The majority of our trips are rated Introductory to Moderate. These trips involve a combination of introductory and moderate walking conditions in remote areas. Some days may see you walking a slow and steady pace for up to 6 hours in the day. Other days may be more difficult, involving early morning departures and ascents to lookouts. Depending on the trip, you may be expected to carry either a day-pack or a full pack of around 15kgs. Terrain may include walking off-track, through bush and scrublands, or on duckboards and boardwalks, or a combination of these.
These adventures involve trekking for up to 6 or 7 hours a day at a steady pace. You will need a good level of fitness and must be in good health.

Moderate to Challenging
This trip grading involves a combination of what is described in our ‘Moderate’ and ‘Challenging’ levels. The emphasis is on moderate activity with several challenging stages. These trips can involve more physical challenges such as tougher terrain, harsh conditions or high ascents. Self guided adventures rated moderate to challenging involve carrying a full pack and being self-reliant (with emergency support available).
Challenging
These adventures involve trekking, cycling or rafting in remote areas for up to 8 to 10 hours a day, possibly more. With remoteness comes potential to encounter variable weather conditions. You will need an excellent level of fitness, be prepared to carry a full pack weighing up to 20kgs and be completely comfortable in adverse weather conditions and remote locations where evacuation may be very difficult.

The exact inclusions and equipment for each of our adventures is listed once you've found the trip you want. Our trips are generally more inclusive than others in the market place in line with our philosophy of minimising 'extra payments' displayed outside of the main trip price as well as out of pocket expenses once you reach your destination.

Wilderness Camping
When trekking in the Top End dry season our camping arrangements are delightfully lightweight. As we don't have to worry about bad weather we can make the most of the clear skies and sleep under the stars. Each trekker will carry a mozzie dome tent (a lightweight, netted tent). These can fit two people or we have enough for individual use.
On this trip we camp in the Jatbula's designated campsites. Each camp has composting toilets. The guides carry lightweight group tarps that act as shade or shelter in the unlikely event of unseasonal rain.
On our first night, we stay between Katherine and Nitmiluk, enjoying authentic Top End accommodation in comfortable safari tents. This nights accommodation is on a twin-share basis so if you are an individual traveller we will accommodate you with another traveller of the same sex. If you would prefer to guarantee a single room a single supplement is available pending availability.

As we don't have to worry about bad weather we can make the most of the clear skies and sleep under the stars. Each trekker will carry a mozzie dome tent (a lightweight, netted tent). These can fit two people or we have enough for individual use.
On this trip we camp in the Jatbula's designated campsites. Each camp has composting toilets. The guides carry lightweight group tarps that act as shade or shelter in the unlikely event of unseasonal rain.
On our first night, we stay between Katherine and Nitmiluk, enjoying authentic Top End accommodation in comfortable safari tents. This nights accommodation is on a twin-share basis so if you are an individual traveller we will accommodate you with another traveller of the same sex. If you would prefer to guarantee a single room a single supplement is available pending availability.
This adventure involves trekking for up to 6 or 7 hours a day at a steady pace in remote locations. You will need a good level of fitness and must be in good health. You must be capable of walking over rough ground while carring a full pack (approx 15-17kg). You need to be prepared for walking in hot daytime temperatures (in winter temperatures can reach 30 degrees Celsius). Each day will also present to you a new set of challenges, from river crossings to hill climbs, there will be flat open country on the top of the escarpment and boggy wet country along the creeks that we follow. Previous multi day walking experience is preferred. Suggested preparation: 45 minutes of aerobic type exercise, three to four times a week (this can be cycling, jogging or walking) interspersed with relatively demanding bushwalks carrying a full pack weight (up to 17kg). You should walk regularly with a weighted day pack (5–7kg) for several hours for leg strengthening and aerobic fitness. The best preparation for your trek is multi day bushwalking involving relatively steep ascents and descents and in variable weather conditions.
