The magic of walking on Maria Island will mesmerise all who come to experience its World Heritage listed ruins, rugged cliffs and mountains, sweeping bays and abundant wildlife. Located just off the East Coast of Tasmania, the island is a walker’s paradise with no motor vehicles or shops to distract you from the island’s unspoiled wilderness.
This personalised guided walk showcases the very best of Maria Island. Carrying only a light pack and travelling in small groups of eight, your two experienced local guides will bring your walks to life as you explore the pristine beaches, ancient Blue Gum forests, convict settlements, ancient Aboriginal sites and even an optional climb to the 711-metre summit of Mt. Maria for breathtaking panoramic views over the area.
The walks are set at a gentle pace, so there is plenty of time to observe the amazing Tasmanian bird and wildlife or to discover the fascinating history of the island.
