Six Day Tarkine Rainforest Expedition

Tour

Join Tarkine Trails on an immersive trekking experience of a lifetime. To truly experience the Tarkine rainforest, you need to live it, breathe it, drink it – and walk it. Tasmania’s only multi-day rainforest walk enters this vast, tree-lined cathedral – Australia’s largest cool temperate rainforest. Recognised globally for its ecological significance, this forest is a living remnant of the prehistoric woodlands of Gondwana. The moss-covered understorey is open, enabling our group to journey through the amazing forest for days. The Tarkine is one of the few remaining places where you can walk through temperate rainforest, without the visual presence of human development. It is still largely unexplored as a walking region, making this track an incomparable experience of isolation, beauty and wildness. It’s a wee bit special!
