Tasmanian Expeditions

Maria Island, Feb 2024.
Great walks, great food and great company. We just loved this trip! Our guides Chris & Shana were easy company, very attentive, and excellent cooks too. The camps were great. They are tucked away out of general view, and if you didn't know where to look, you wouldn't know they were there. So much wildlife to see (bring binoculars and you won't be disappointed) and so many fabulous beaches; we swam every day.

These folk know Tassie!
Our guides lead us hiking through some stunning sites in the Tarkine Wilderness area.
Their love and enthusiasm for the sights, smells, tastes, feels and sounds of this precious area gave us rare insights and appreciation for how very special is the Tarkine.
Our wilderness accommodation was great and the various operators warm and welcoming.
Topped off by some terrific meals, this grateful vegan had the time of her life!

Flinders Island April/May 2024 - Great itinerary which covered different regions of this beautiful island, showcasing spectacular scenery from 360 degree mountain views to unique rock formations and pristine beaches along the stunning coastline. We had an excellent team of 3 experienced guides who were knowledgeable, supportive and entertaining as well as being superb cooks. The meals were fantastic and the snacks plentiful. The campsite was comfortable and was tucked away in a lovely bush setting with beach access. This was my first trip with Tasmanian Expeditions and I would highly recommend them to anyone as they provided an overall wonderful experience.

My recent Tasmanian Expeditions Franklin River Rafting trip in February was an enjoyable experience that exceeded expectations. I joined as much for the scenery and the river's history as for the rafting and all didn't disappoint. Leon, Nick & Grace- TE's 3 rafting guides were exceptional, both on and off the river.

The Overland Track hike was one of the best walks I have done in Tasmania. Whilst the walks in the south west are are more challenging, the variety of landscapes on the overland is much more amazing. From the top of Mount Ossa to the old forests to the button grass plains the Overland has it all. We had two of the best guides who were a fountain of knowledge which really added to the overall experience. We’re going back with Tasmanian Expeditions next year! I’d highly recommend these guys.

My son Brendan and I hiked the Overland Track in November 2022. The support of Tasmanian Expeditions was superb from start to finish. Our two guides Madeleine and Jason were two of the finest human beings we have ever met. They were expert bush-walkers, but also extremely well-versed on Tasmanian flora & fauna and Indigenous history. They were empathetic and inspiring leaders who kept our diverse group of nine hikers highly motivated, happy, confident and well-fed through-out our epic journey. This included sub-zero temperatures and heavy snow, as well as an impressively well-executed helicopter medivac of two hypothermic hikers from another group - our guides saved their lives! I very highly recommend Tasmanian Expeditions to those looking for a very professional, safe, and life-changing experience!

Our holiday was magnificent. Our tour guides (Nana and Danny) were brilliant with a wealth of knowledge and understanding.
If you’re planning on a hiking expedition the Maria Island Walk does not disappoint!
Thanks again to Nana and Danny for making the trip so memorable.

Overland Track 6 day thru hike...A trip to remember!

Its a trip I will never stop talking about! It was adventurous, informative, magically beautiful and between Rachael, Laura (our guides from Tas Ex) and the personalities in our group we laughed all day and night! Someone was always cracking a joke! It was so much fun! So a mix of landscape, people and good positive vibes made this a trip to remember! The meals prepared by Rachael/Laura & Tasmania Expeditions were insanely delicious and nutritious for hike food! There was never a time where we went hungry with plenty of snacks and chocolates always on offer!

I recently completed this walk with Tasmania Expeditions. While I was not an experienced walker the team and walk guides made this a most enjoyable and trouble free experience. Accomodation was basic (bunks) but comfortable, clean and warm with hot water showers and fantastic meals cooked for the tour group. The guides are amazing carrying heavy packs, maintaining cheerfulness, providing commentary and then catering for meals. Altogether a great trip although fitness is a key.

This part of the world is stunning and the trip was wonderful. It was well organised and there was good communication before and during the trip. The guides were particularly flexible and catered for all levels of fitness and made alternative plans that were safe for everyone. The participants all got on well together and supported each other.

I recently went on the four day Walls of Jerusalem trek. The guides Jesse and Dan made the trip as easy as possible for us. They clearly explained what was happening each day, cooked delicious meals and were knowledgeable about the area and bushwalking in general. I couldn't recommend it enough, and I will be back!

We had an amazing trip to The Bay of Fires from the start to the finish. Apart from the obvious beautiful scenery, the guides were well organised and very knowledgeable. The food was fresh and delicious. Nothing was too much trouble. The accomodation was very comfortable.

Recently returned from the Overland track expedition with my Dad. Can’t recommend Tassie Expeditions enough! Our tour guides Ed and Dan were both amazing! They were so knowledgeable, caring, patient (especially with my Dad who is a bit older) and ensured that we had the best experience possible. I will always look back on my experience with such fond memories

My nephew and I both loved the Freycinet Experience Walk in December 2023. The architecturally designed lodges were comfortable, generously spacious and cosy with a fireplace, shower room, separate room for an indulgent bath and the most discrete and effective environmentally-friendly toilets I have ever come across. With 8 guests I felt we were extremely well cared for by our 2 guides – Ella and Emma plus our 2 lodge hosts – Filippo and Karl. It was my nephew’s first walking tour holiday plus he has severe dietary restrictions. We could not be happier with the care that the team took to ensure that my nephew felt safe and supported. I have experienced walking tour holidays in various countries and this was my third in Australia. It set the benchmark for how exceptionally well organised an Australian walking tour holiday can be. I have my 2024 Australian walking tour holiday booked with the same company and I know it will be glorious. The Freycinet Experience Walk is suitable for all ages and could be a wonderfully bonding getaway for a group. I recommend it to anyone who wants to switch off immersed in nature with the comfort of beautifully prepared meals accompanied by Tasmania’s sensational beers and wines served from the heart by a team committed to your relaxation and comfort.

The six day Flinders Island walk was amazing! Great Guides who
looked after us so well, delicious food and spectacular scenery! I would highly recommend this trip!

I recently did the Tarkine Explorer. A well-paced and varied trip with plenty of opportunities to engage with nature. Stunning scenery and knowledgeable guides who were also very handy chefs. Highly recommend this trip!

This trip was fantastic. The huts were very comfortable. The food was plentiful and delicious. Our guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. The walks each day were beautiful. I would recommend this trip to everyone who love to walk.

Thanks to Bob Brown and the thousands of other protestors who enabled the Franklin to run free, we got to enjoy this remarkable untouched wilderness. Our expert, knowledgable guides were instrumental in our safety and that of the river, enhancing this unique experience. Thanks Dan, Lupe, Grace and Jared.

I loved every minute of my trip to Flinders Island; three helpful relaxed guides for our walks and our camp; interesting walks every day; great tasty meals; comfy camp pods with night gazing ceilings; a mountain to climb; a thoughtful history about Flinders Island and flights over the sea ro arrive and depart. Everything I could want in a break from routine

Our experience exceeded our expectation and we thoroughly enjoyed the 6 day trek. Our guides Stac and Andy were passionate about the environment and history of the Overland Track and shared their knowledge and enriched our experience. They produced tasty meals and snacks and were expert guides and story tellers. We were fortunate to have incredible weather and a great group of people that shared such a wonderful week together. We highly recommend booking with Tasmanian Expeditions for an exceptional experience completing the Overland Track.
