Highlights

  • Explore Tasmania’s Tarkine wilderness, revealing ancient tree species and hidden gems in a 65-million-year-old rainforest.
  • Experience the dramatic coastline and ferocious oceans while walking along the stunning beaches of the Tarkine region.
  • Embark on a scenic boat journey down the Pieman River, immersing yourself in the untouched beauty of the area.
  • Trek the iconic Overland Track and Dove Lake, surrounded by glacier-sculpted peaks and cascading icy streams.

Walk among Tasmania’s Tarkine wilderness, the largest tract of unbroken cool-temperate rainforest remaining in the Southern Hemisphere. This 65-million-year-old forest houses hidden gems and ancient relics including tree species that exist elsewhere only as fossils.

We have designed the Tarkine Wilderness walks in order to unlock the beauty of the region that includes mountains, wild rivers, the sublime coastline with its ferocious oceans and iconic open plains. A real highlight of the trip is the boat journey down the Pieman River and then the walk out along the coast.

As part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park is renowned for its glacier-sculpted mountain peaks, river gorges and icy streams cascading down rugged mountains, glacial lakes, tarns and tracts of wild alpine moorland. We get up close and personal to Cradle Mountain by walking a part of the iconic Overland Track, the Cradle Mountain Face Track and Dove Lake.

Award-winning Auswalk with its decades of expertise is an excellent way to explore the Tasmanian wilderness. Having two knowledgeable guides means they can offer a choice of easier and harder pack-free walk options each day. At the end of each day, guests can enjoy a hot shower, good food, and wine in the company of like-minded friends in one of their hand-picked comfortable accommodation options.

Their walks include the Tasmanian Wilderness Hiker, Mount Field, and Anne, Lake St Clair and Cradle Mountain; the Tasmania Coastal Hiker, Freycinet, Bay of Fires and the highlights of the Three Capes; or their Tarkine Cradle Mountain walk.
