Walking holidays in Tasmania
Tasmania has more national park per square kilometre than almost anywhere in Australia, and ParkTours uses that well. Tours here take in a wide range of terrain: river gorges and colonial streetscapes in Launceston, the remote beaches and wildlife of Flinders Island, tall eucalypt forests, waterways and mountains further south.Walk grades are easy to moderate, 2 to 15km per day. Groups are small and the pace gives time for wildlife watching, local food, and the kind of slow travel that suits a place this particular. A good fit for travellers interested in birding, botany, geology and Australian history.

Thank you for putting together a delightful holiday.
This most interesting and well-rounded itinerary certainly ticked all the boxes for me. Regardless of age, personal interests and walking ability for each group member, the tour itinerary certainly satisfied the needs on every level for myself and everyone else in our group. It was very obvious that much thought had gone into the carefully researched itinerary for this tour. It was guided by Luke with passion, good knowledge, care and thoughtful consideration for each group member. All walks were pleasant without being too challenging.
Launceston with its stock of listed Georgian and Victorian buildings lining its streets to the ocean wilderness of the Southern Tarkine one never tires from the diversity of the vegetation range of the remote and diverse region of the West Coast region in particular. Exploring with insights of the vanished communities from past mining days I could not help but be inspired by the extraordinary unique character of this environment.
I found this mystical place particularly at the Pieman River area with all it’s shapes and moods, a great place to reconnect.
Walking Cradle Mountain & Lake St Clair National Parks as we bush walked deep into these forests to the button grass mountain top views and into unexpected midsummer valleys of most colorful wildflowers to exploring along the jagged coastline of Tasmania’s Southern coastline.
I certainly experienced, rediscovered and reconnected. Thanks for a most relaxing trip. Just what I needed.

Our Flinders Island walking tour was wonderful! John and I loved the walks, David and Kathleen were great guides, the lodgings were great and chef Mel is superb! We had good weather, windy with a little rain, but we loved that as that is what an Island in Bass Strait is all about. The walks were varied and were of good distances for us. As each day passed, I felt fitter and stronger. We were certainly fed well for breakfast, lunch and dinner by Mel. We appreciated the visit to Wybalenna to learn the story of the aboriginals who were taken there. So sad. It was a great week in a wonderful part of Australia. Highly recommend.

We loved the trip and would recommend it. The highlight of the tour was getting to the top of Strezlecki and the coastal walk to Killiecrankie. Accomodation at the lodge was good and in a great location. We loved Kathleen and David, Spud and Kim. They were all so lovely and awesome guides, varying the daily activities to match the tides & accommodate the variety of tour members, with short & full walking options.
