When Do We Run Our Walking Holidays

Nearly All our walking tours are now available at a time to suit your group (except our Singles walks – more details below) as we have found it difficult to provide set dates that suit our clients. Consequently all our walks are more personalized and can be booked by groups from four to 10 people.  Each walk has a “season” which means we only provide the walk between certain dates in the year. This is largely due to the expected weather during these periods. Some walks particularly those that go to mountainous regions or the west coast are far more likely to be affected by weather conditions, than our coastal walks where the conditions are generally milder during the late autumn and early spring.

Group Types

We can restrict walks to Women only, Seniors or Couples, but most of our walks are open to anyone. The average age of participants over numerous walks has been approximately 52 years of age.

GROUP SIZE

All our groups are small, maximum ten clients. Our Multi-Day Walking Holidays provides a carefully selected series of Day Walks (returning each night to your accommodation) to a very diverse range of places including iconic National Parks, less visited places on the coast or highlands, to places on private property exploring many areas of Tasmania that the average traveller does not normally see.

TASMANIAN WALKING HOLIDAYS

Our walking holidays are especially suitable to active retirees but equally suitable for all adults that are reasonably fit and capable of walking up to 4 to five hours each day. For private group bookings, we can “tailor” the holiday to your needs, this is especially appropriate for family groups with Children.

Tasmania is a place of dramatic contrasts, there are the craggy mountain peaks of the highlands with a myriad of sparkling lakes & tarns, the lush rainforests, dramatic mountains and wild wilderness of the of the west coast, the rolling hills & grassy sun-drenched plains of the midlands, lofty dolerite cliffs of the Tasman Peninsula to the pristine white sand beaches, and pink granite seascape of the east coast. Yes, we have it all, that is why I live here and eager to share with you.

Tasmania’s topography gives an amazing mix of natural environments, let us show you what we have on one of our walking holidays – we know you will fall in love with Tasmania, we did! Let us share it with you.

OUTDOOR CHINA

Due to my love of travel and a particular interest in China which I first visited in 2013, I soon discovered that most of the negative press that China seems to get is unfounded. Whilst it is very densely populated in many of the large cities, there are in fact vast areas of rugged and beautiful semi wilderness areas. My first hike in China in 2016 was a 3 day walk on a trail known as the Tiger Leaping Gorge. This further inspired me to look for other areas and in 2024 together with my Chinese fiancée Ping, discovered an area in northern Sichuan Province, on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau call Songpan. This historic ancient city with its city wall built using a mortar of sticky rice & lime was, historically, a trading post for tea and horses (The ancient Tea Road) Based in this small multicultural city, we spent many days hiking in the mountains and fell in love with both the place and the people. As I wanted to share this beautiful place with others we decided to set up our first hiking holiday that we wanted to make suitable for active people, no matter what their age. Our inaugural holiday was in June 2025. Please have a look at our page Outdoor China for further information.

TAILORED WALKING HOLIDAYS

We can also organise personalised programmes to suit your schedule and budget, whatever your requirements we can generally put an amazing memorable holiday together for you.
