INQUIRE ABOUT TOUR

12km, 4.5 hours walking

The journey begins with a 7:30am meet-up at the Hotel Grand Chancellor in Launceston, departing shortly after at 7:45am. The drive heads northeast through Lilydale and the scenic Pipers River wine region, with a short stop in the relaxed coastal town of Bridport.

The first walk begins in Mt William National Park, right on the pristine white sands of Cape Naturaliste—the northernmost point of the four-day route. This gentle beach walk offers the perfect way to settle into the rhythm of the journey while soaking in the wild coastal serenity.

Along the shoreline, keep an eye out for local birdlife such as Oystercatchers and Hooded Plovers, as well as washed-up curiosities like cuttlebones, sea urchins, or shark eggs—often explained by the guides as part of the living, shifting shoreline story.

Later in the afternoon, the group detours inland for a short return hike to the summit of wukalina / Mount William (216m). The summit offers expansive views across the national park, and on a clear day, a glimpse of the Furneaux Islands—ancient remnants of the land bridge that once linked Tasmania to mainland Australia.

In the early evening, travel on to the first night’s accommodation to settle in and relax, ready for the adventure ahead.

🧭 Meals Included: Lunch & Dinner

14km, 5 – 6 hours walking

After a hearty breakfast and trail lunch prep, the day begins with a return to Boulder Point at the far end of Stumpy’s Bay—marking the start of the longest walking day of the journey. The route heads south along a wildly beautiful stretch of coastline, dotted with secluded coves, rugged headlands, and granite boulders cloaked in Bay of Fires’ signature orange lichen.

This is one of the most photogenic sections of the walk—vibrant, elemental, and full of hidden rock pools just waiting to be explored.

The trail continues along the remote sands of Cod Bay, then veers inland onto sandy bush tracks weaving through coastal heath. In spring, these trails burst to life with wildflowers and native orchids.

Lunch is enjoyed at a quiet, sheltered spot—often near a calm lagoon or natural swimming hole, perfect for a quick dip if conditions allow. Along the open marsupial lawns bordering the lagoon, walkers might spot wombats grazing, Black Swans gliding, or Tasmanian Native Hens darting through the brush.

At Deep Creek, a shallow wade may be required depending on rainfall levels, crossing a narrow outlet stream before reaching the day’s end point. Afternoon tea is served nearby, with the option to extend the walk just a little further along the beach to visit the striking granite stacks of Picnic Rocks—a short bonus detour through untouched coastal beauty.

Transport is then provided back to the accommodation for a well-earned rest.

🧭 Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

14km, 5 – 6 hours walking

Day three is steeped in natural beauty and deep cultural resonance. The journey begins at larapuna / Eddystone Point, marked by its striking granite lighthouse built in 1889. This area holds significance for both Aboriginal and European histories, and time is taken to explore the surrounding coastline, tidal pools, and the weathered remnants of early settlement.

From the lighthouse, the walk opens onto a sweeping dune-backed beach alive with birdlife. Depending on the season, sightings may include gulls, terns, gannets, albatross, and migratory visitors like shearwaters and ruddy turnstones.

As the day unfolds, the trail winds through a series of secluded coves, each framed by vivid orange-lichened rocks and soft, rolling surf. The beaches here are scattered with shells and offer quiet moments for rest, reflection, or a swim.

This section also showcases some of the most sculptural granite formations of the entire Bay of Fires walk—twisted and weathered shapes that spark the imagination.

The final leg crosses another expansive beach before reaching Ansons Bay, where a shallow lagoon crossing marks the end of the day’s hike. Afternoon tea is served nearby, followed by transport back to the accommodation for the evening.

🧭 Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

10kms, 4 hours

The final day begins early, with a rewarding walk along one of the Bay of Fires' best-kept secrets—a trail known mainly to locals. Set within the Bay of Fires Conservation and Recreation Area, this track offers a refreshing change of scenery from the coast-hugging routes of previous days.

Starting from Moulting Bay, the trail follows a quiet stretch of beach before rounding the headland toward Georges Bay, revealing sweeping views of St Helens Oyster Farm and the surrounding conservation zones.

The path then climbs gently into higher ground, entering a woodland of towering sclerophyll forest and Xanthorrhoea grass trees. Birdsong filters through the canopy, and breaks in the trees offer glimpses back toward the coast.

Lunch is enjoyed beneath the forest canopy—a quiet, reflective pause with the chance for one last swim, depending on conditions. The final stretch rolls over a low, forested hill before looping back to the starting point—a peaceful and fitting place to close the journey.

The group then travels back to Launceston, stopping en route in the charming seaside town of St Helens for a relaxed break and the chance to browse artisan shops and local produce stores.

🔄 Note: Depending on weather and group dynamics, Days 3 and 4 may be swapped. If so, the Eddystone Point to Ansons Bay route will be walked today, with return via Bridport.

Key Tour Info

Where You’ll Stay

For three nights, guests stay at Icena Farm, a working sheep and cattle property nestled near the edge of Mt William National Park. This remote corner of northeast Tasmania is home to abundant wildlife, rolling pastures, and peaceful skies—and your base is right in the heart of it.

Accommodation is in recently renovated Shearers’ Quarters, each cabin with heating and its own ensuite bathroom. Twin and queen rooms are available, complete with all essentials: towels, sheets, blankets, and a few thoughtful extras. A shared lounge, dining room, and sunny outdoor deck bring the group together after a day on the trail.

Single rooms are available for solo travellers seeking a little extra space (subject to availability and additional cost).

What You’ll Eat

Food on this tour is hearty, home-style, and locally inspired—because nourishing your body is just as important as feeding your spirit.

Your guides prepare every meal, showcasing seasonal Tasmanian produce: local cheeses, fresh meats, crisp veggies, and wholesome baked goods. Expect flavours that reflect the region, made with care and minimal food miles.

Breakfasts feature a continental spread: muesli, fruit, toast, yogurt, and good coffee.
Lunches vary—think fresh rolls, wraps, sliced meats, roasted veg, and build-your-own picnics with a view.
Dinners are casual two-course meals like roast lamb, seasonal curries, or hearty pasta dishes, followed by something sweet—maybe pavlova, fruit crumble, or warm cake.
Snacks & treats? Always. Daily trail mix, fruit for the hike, tea breaks with biscuits or cake, and evening antipasto with cheese, dips, and crackers.

Alcohol is not included, but feel free to BYO. If you're packing wine, just wrap it well in your main bag—Tasmanian roads can get bumpy.

Dietary needs? Most can be accommodated—just let us know at the time of booking so we can plan ahead.

Tasmania’s east coast is known for its beauty—and its unpredictability.

While the Bay of Fires region generally enjoys milder weather than the island’s interior, conditions can shift quickly.

Expect cool mornings, crisp sea breezes, and the occasional burst of wild coastal wind. Days are often clear and sunny, but it’s not uncommon to encounter light rain or fog rolling in from the ocean.

Average temperatures range between 10–22°C (50–72°F) depending on the season. Layers are key: bring a warm jacket, breathable base layers, and a waterproof shell. Even on sunny days, coastal winds can cool things down fast.

While we walk rain or shine, your guides may adjust the route slightly for safety and comfort based on conditions.

In short: pack for variety, prepare for adventure, and trust that the weather—like the landscape—will add to the experience.

Friendly, fun and informative guides bring the Bay of Fires coast and hinterland to life complementing the stunning coastal scenery

We had a fabulous walking trip through the Bay of Fires region with Park Trek. Food, accommodation, walking level and guides were excellent. The itinerary was well organised but there was flexibility to change it up as needed to suit the group. Would highly recommend!

Andi and Talia were such wonderful guides. The scenery and historical sites were breathtaking. Lived the trip. Was able to completely decompress within 2 days. So sad that the walk passed by so quickly. We also had an amazing group with us. Andi was so proud a Tasmanian, she was a walking encyclopaedia of everything Part Trek and Tasmania

Local Insights — larapuna / Bay of Fires (lutruwita/Tasmania)

On palawa Country. The coastline known today as the Bay of Fires is the cultural homeland of Tasmanian Aboriginal people. The name larapuna refers to the northern area around Eddystone Point; shell middens and cultural sites remain along the dunes, so tread with care and respect.

Big-picture snapshot

A 50-kilometre ribbon of white-sand beaches, orange-lichened granite and turquoise lagoons arcs from Binalong Bay north to larapuna / Eddystone Point at the boundary of wukalina / Mount William National Park. Days here are about simple pleasures: dawn beach walks, rock-pool swims on calm days, and the chance to spot whales from headlands during migration.

Seasons & timing

Whales travel the east coast roughly May–December; land-based viewing is common from clifftops like The Gardens and Binalong Bay.
Summer (Dec–Mar): warmest water and longer swim windows.
Autumn–Spring: clear light, quieter beaches; water is cool year-round, so a wetsuit extends your ocean time.
Weather reality: this is a mild, maritime climate—expect changeable conditions and brisk sea breezes even on “perfect” days.

Must-dos (beyond the obvious beach time)

Headland hop: Drive the coastal road to The Gardens for cinematic vistas and wildflower-spotted heath.
Whale-trail stopovers: Read the interpretation panels at The Gardens and other signed sites; scan for blow-spouts and tail-slaps.
Snorkel windows: On low-swell, low-wind days, try the sheltered lagoons around Binalong Bay, Dora Point and Burns Bay for kelp forests and darting reef fish.
Kayak the in-between: Paddle the Ansons River/Ansons Bay system—calm, bird-rich waters ringed by paperbark and tea-tree.
Blue Tier forest detour (40–60 min inland): Swap coast for cool-temperate rainforest on short, family-friendly walks like the Goblin Forest Walk and the Blue Tier Giant/Big Tree loop.
Waterfall fix: St Columba Falls (near Pyengana) tumbles ~90 m through fern gullies—an easy add-on to a coastal day.

Nature highlights

Marine visitors: Humpbacks and southern right whales cruise close to shore in season; bottlenose dolphins are regulars.
Birdlife: Look for white-bellied sea-eagles riding thermals, oystercatchers probing the tideline, and summer sightings of the swift parrot in blue-gum fringes.
Nocturnal locals: Bennett’s wallabies and pademelons emerge at dusk. Drive cautiously after dark.

Local-style tips (the good stuff)

Sunrise > sunset here: eastern aspect = glow-up mornings. Save golden hour for Eddystone Point Lighthouse and granite headlands where lichen flares in low light.
Eat the coast: In St Helens (the east coast’s game-fishing hub), chase scallop pies, local rock lobster in season, and oysters straight from the water at Lease 65 on Binalong Bay Road (when the roadside sign is out).
Rainforest & cheese loop: Pair St Columba Falls with Pyengana Dairy for farmhouse cheddar, then swing past the quirky Pub in the Paddock for a yarn (and a peek at the famous resident pigs).
Ride “mountains to the sea”: The Bay of Fires MTB descent (about 42 km) runs from the Blue Tier to Swimcart Beach—shuttles from St Helens make logistics easy.
Photo etiquette: Drones are not permitted in parks and reserves without written authorization—leave the skies to sea-eagles.

Practical logistics

Parks & passes: Most of the Bay of Fires is a Conservation Area (no pass needed). North of the Ansons River to larapuna/Eddystone Point sits inside Mount William National Park—a Parks Pass is required there.
Swimming safety: Many beaches have steep drop-offs and rips; few are patrolled. Choose sheltered coves on swellier days, and when in doubt, don’t.
Supplies: Stock food and fuel in St Helens; services thin out quickly beyond The Gardens.
Camping: Designated beachfront campgrounds line the coast (basic facilities; no bookings), with dogs on leads allowed in most campgrounds (not at Jeanerette).
Respect Country: Heed signs and avoid disturbing middens or dune systems; take only photos, leave only footprints—and not on fragile vegetation.

Add-on ideas (2–3 extra days)

MTB sampler: Flagstaff stacked loops south of St Helens for beginner-friendly flow lines.
East Coast tasting: Oyster shacks, vineyards south toward Bicheno, and charcoal-grilled seafood back in town.
Slow nature days: Alternate coast mornings with forest afternoons on Blue Tier—short walks, big trees, moss, and the occasional wombat track.

Not for every trip—but for most travellers, we strongly recommend it

Some itineraries and partner operators do require insurance (especially remote treks, glacier walks, or bookings made via live operator calendars with mandatory cover).

When it’s required

Certain partners/departures make insurance compulsory and may ask for proof before departure. If you book one of these, their T&Cs apply immediately.

What good cover includes

Medical treatment & emergency evacuation/repatriation (high limits).
Trip cancellation/interruption (protects your deposit and balance if plans change).
Baggage & travel delay, and supplier default where available.
Coverage for all activities on your itinerary (e.g., trekking, glacier hikes, kayaking) and any relevant altitudes/conditions.
24/7 assistance hotline and a clear claims process.

When to buy

At booking. That way, cancellation benefits start immediately and you’re covered if something crops up before you travel.

How to share proof

Email us your policy certificate (names, policy number, assistance phone).
If you booked via an instant-confirmation operator calendar, follow their proof instructions and deadlines exactly.

Most departures run as planned, but guarantees depend on the operator and minimum numbers. If there’s a wobble, we’ll tell you fast and give you options.

How it works

Minimum group size: Most partners need a minimum number of travellers to confirm a trip.
When we confirm: Each operator has a confirmation window (often 30–60 days before departure). We monitor load and update you as status changes.
Any listing from "G-Adventures" will be guaranteed to run with a booking

If a trip is under-subscribed

We’ll contact you with clear options:

Move to another date (same tour)

Switch to a comparable trip

Full refund of monies paid (per the operator’s terms)

Any price differences for new dates/trips will be discussed before you decide.

If a trip is suspended (weather, park closures, strikes, force majeure)

First, we’ll look to re-route or adjust (e.g., alternative park, similar activities).
If that’s not viable, you can move dates, choose a different trip, or receive a refund/credit according to the operator’s policy.

Our promise

Proactive comms: We’ll keep you posted as soon as we know more—no last-minute surprises if we can help it.
No pressure choices: You pick the outcome; we handle the admin.
Flight advice: Until your tour is confirmed, book flexible/refundable flights or add insurance that covers schedule changes.
