Bay of Fires Long Weekend

Celebrating the much loved Australian tradition of the 'The Long Weekend', enjoy three slow days unwinding in nature. With easier shorter day walks, you’ll have more time to relax in our private eco accommodation to enjoy the fresh produce, local wines and great company. Disconnect from the outside world, with all of the creature comforts on a short wilderness stay. You’ll begin in downtown Hobart, whisked from the city on our private vessel to the peninsula wilds. In the days to follow, you’ll experience all the spoils that the Tasman Peninsula has to offer with breathtaking day walks, soaring sea cliffs, local produce and fine Tasmanian wine. Each evening, we return to our private eco-camp overlooking Cape Pillar. Here, our knowledgeable guides transition to lodge hosts, preparing chef-designed meals brimming with local ingredients. To top off your walking adventure -- a wine tasting and lunch at an award-winning vineyard on the way home. Come join us for a long weekend like no other.

If squeaky white-sand beaches and wild coastline appeal to you, the Bay of Fires is a spectacular reason to lace up. After a relaxing night on Day 1 at Red Feather Inn, We begin Day 2 at Boulder Point in Mt William National Park where we journey four hours to semi-permanent tents in the dunes. At our forester camp there is no roughing it, take an ocean dip and return for pinots poured and your meal underway. Day 3 is all about secluded coves, hearing tales of early inhabitants, and making our way to the Bay of Fires Lodge. This is home for the next two nights – where foot spas and library time come standard and signature experiences in the outdoor bath tempt. Day 4, grab a kayak paddle and glide down the Ansons River or relax into a ‘lodge day.’ We take it easy on the final day, serving up a brekkie out on deck followed by a one-hour walk to our forest lunch location. It’s then onward to the walker base to celebrate our shared five days.

Bruny Island is a showcase of some of the most spectacular coastline in Tasmania. Our guided walks take you through varied terrain including beaches, rocky headlands, bush trails and rainforest. By the end of the Long Weekend, you will know Bruny Island intimately. Almost 100% of the food we consume over the long weekend has been sourced from Bruny Island itself or within Tasmania. Our food miles are so low that in most instances, you will see where your food is produced on the same day that you eat it. You may have even met the person who made it. Our exclusive accommodation is only available to guests of The Bruny Island Long Weekend. Well-secluded, on a private 100 acres this little haven represents the perfect place to retreat.

Ah, winter on the Overland Track. Many dismiss as a less desirable time to trek, but beauty is revealed for those keen to pull on extra layers. For snow lovers, this 8-day expedition often delivers a wintery wonderland. Longer than our other Overland offerings, this trip begins with pick-up in Launceston arriving in time to dine by the lodge’s crackling fire. We’ve even worked in a ‘spare day’ that can be enjoyed summitting Mt Ossa or Mt Oakleigh or then again curled up with a good book and glass of red in Pelion Hut. The winter trip is about rugging up and taking our good time!

Ready to walk the world’s edge? Journey along some of the world’s highest sea cliffs with The Three Capes Signature Walk, the only fully guided Three Capes Track experience with accommodation inside the National Park. The experience begins with salty wind in your hair – a boat cruise across to Denman’s Cove. It’s then onward to Crescent Bay Lodge, sitting loftily with views across to Cape Raoul. Day two includes summiting Arthurs Peak (keep an eye out for sea eagles), making our way to Cape Pillar Lodge, home for the next two nights. Perhaps a massage or invigorating outdoor bath while dinner is being prepared? Your pick for day three – an adventure through silver gum forest out to Cape Pillar and the infamous Blade or lazing the day away at the lodge. We must say, the views out to Tasman Island from the Blade are something else. Those with plenty of kilometres left in the legs can take a side trip on the final day out to Cape Hauy while others can choose a direct route to Fortescue Bay. From here, we’ll take you back to Hobart where we’ll raise a glass to our four days well spent!

Tasmania’s Overland Track is famous the world over and our signature trip is the way to experience it in classic style. Across seven days, our most popular Overland experience completes the full journey from World Heritage-listed Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair, staying at the only private huts in the national park. The fully guided walk begins with a night at Red Feather Inn, before journeying to the Cradle Valley to walk some 65 kilometres through to Lake St Clair, Australia’s deepest natural lake. Come join our most loved iconic walk. (4-day option availiable)

Experience the Overland Track served with a side of adventure. Rated ‘challenging’ we journey from Cradle Mountain to Lake St. Clair, summiting some serious peaks along the way.

Across seven days in deep World Heritage Area wilderness, we tackle other peaks on our way south. Day 4 is the biggest at 18kms including Mount Oakleigh and we back this up the following day climbing Tassie’s highest peak, Mount Ossa. With great adventure comes great reward and sumptuous dinners upon reaching the huts each evening.

Conquer Mt Brown and explore coastal trails along the Three Capes Track. Indulge in the coziness of our private accommodation, alternating between our lavish camp with views of Tasman Island and Cape Pillar, and our secluded lodges nestled within the national park. Each night, relax and unwind with chef-inspired meals and a glass of local wine, cooked for you by our guides and hosts in the middle of Tasmania's breathtaking wilderness. With the reward of sweeping views, ocean vistas, ancient rainforests and private lodges, the extra challenge will be well worth the effort on this epic walking adventure.
