Auswalk Walking Holidays
Auswalk Walking Holidays offers a dynamic range of guided group and self guided inn-to-inn walking holidays, in addition to guided ‘on-demand’ options.
Their guided group walking holidays attract people who prefer to get off the standard tourist route and explore new areas on foot with many of their trips visiting wilderness regions and World Heritage areas.
For those who prefer to ‘go it alone’, their self guided inn-to-inn walks are the perfect solution. They will provide you with easy to follow walk notes and maps, and whilst you are off on your walk, they’ll transfer your luggage to your next accommodation.
