Walk Bruny Island & Tasmania's South West

Discover the rugged natural beauty of Tasmania’s Bruny Island on this six-day walking trip. Lace up your hiking boots and make the most of the lush trails and beautiful tracks of South Bruny National Park, chase waterfalls in Mt Field National Park and make the summit in the Hartz Mountains for exceptional natural views. Then, explore the beautiful coastline near Adventure Bay and look out for Bruny Island’s wildlife – all with an expert local leader by your side to show you the best spots!

Welcome to Hobart! After checking into your hotel, you’ll have a welcome meeting at 6 pm at your hotel where you'll get to know your fellow travellers and local leader. If you arrive early, maybe walk along Hobart’s main streets and visit the cute shops, cafes and restaurants near the harbour. After your meeting, head to a local restaurant for a welcome dinner, setting the tone for an incredible Tasmanian adventure!

This morning, head to Mt Field National Park where you’ll take on the Three Falls Circuit – a beautiful walk that includes the iconic Russell Falls where you can stop for photos and to take in the gorgeous natural surroundings. The trail will have some short, steep sections and steps, but the lush rainforest and cascading waterfalls make it well worth the effort! Tonight is free to kick back, relax and share stories with your fellow travellers.

Today, you’ll head out on the Tarn Shelf Walk – Mt Field National Park’s flagship trail. A steep drive brings you to Lake Dobson, where you begin the climb up to the scenic Tarn Shelf. This challenging hike will reward with stunning views of glacier-formed landscapes and mountain tarns. Have lunch here with your group, enjoy the view, then descend back through woodland to Lake Dobson. Along the way, take in the gorgeous natural scenery of trees, shrubbery, peaks and still waters.

Today is all about exploring the rugged beauty of Hartz Mountains National Park – forming the eastern edge of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, this park is one of Tasmania's most accessible alpine areas! Today’s trail gradually ascends through scrubby bushland, opening to spectacular views of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel and surrounding peaks. For those keen on a challenge, a steep climb to the summit of Hartz Peak offers panoramic vistas in every direction.

After a short ferry ride to Bruny Island this morning, you’ll begin your walk along the Cape Queen Elizabeth track, which features white sand beaches and headlands with breathtaking coastal views. This scenic walk is a perfect introduction to the island's natural beauty. You’ll then drive to your accommodation for the night.

Wake up on the gorgeous Bruny Island today and explore the Fluted Capes track at Adventure Bay, which known for its dramatic coastal scenery. Although today’s walk includes some steep sections, the views are well worth it. After the walk, you'll depart Bruny Island and return to Hobart, arriving in time for evening flights or an extra night in the city to explore more of what Hobart has to offer. If you’d like to extend your stay, just get in touch with your booking agent ahead of time.
