What to expect

Choose from our range of coastal and alpine guided walks in Tasmania.

A guided bush walk with Tasmanian Wilderness Experiences will save you time and show you the best sights when you only have one day

When you walk with us, you can be confident that you will see the best sights if you only have a day to spare. Just let us know where you are based and your preferences of walks and we can provide advice about the best walk for you. At Tasmanian Wilderness Experiences, we provide a large range of ‘easy’ to ‘challenging’ guided walks which are available on demand and with a minimum of 1 person (maximum 13).

Our guides have had many years of experience hiking in Tasmania’s wilderness and across remote and inaccessible terrain. We know the best routes and those to avoid and your safety is our number one priority.

Track grades

Our tour grading is based on Tasmania’s track classification system:

T1 – Easy to Moderate

Well defined and wide tracks on easy to moderate terrain, in slightly modified natural environments. You will require a modest level of fitness. Recommended for beginners.

T2 – Moderate

Narrower but distinct tracks which can be muddy in some places, in pristine natural environments. Facilities are minimal and you will encounter few other walkers. These moderate tours require reasonable level of fitness.

T3 – Challenging

You will experience marked but often-indistinct tracks, in very remote and wild areas. These challenging walks need a high level of fitness and some hiking experience.

T4 – Difficult

Tracks are often faint or unmarked in remote and craggy natural areas not included in our schedule, however we will guide selected parties on these tours on request.
