Overview
3 Day Bay of Fires Off Peak Explorer Walking Tour
Have you been to Tasmania in The Off Season? With the turning of the Fagus the locals know that The Off Season is on its way, and it’s time to embrace the season and “go full winter”!
On this Off Season tour explore the stunning Bay of Fires and surrounding areas over three fantastic days of beach walking, rainforest exploring, tasting local specialities and sightseeing. Enjoy spectacular beaches interspersed with boulders covered in bright orange lichen, and if you dare, take the opportunity to swim in the crystal-clear waters of Tasmania’s East Coast.
This itinerary incorporates some of the state’s most stunning coastal scenery, iconic pockets of temperate rainforest, 360 degree mountain views, and one of Tasmania’s tallest waterfalls. Along the way we tempt our tastebuds with a visit to a local winery and sample cheese that has been aging for up to two years.
We walk among some of Tasmania’s oldest rainforest and coastal vegetation, over the occasional granite headland, featuring shapely rock formations – whilst zig-zagging our way through native heath country on the lookout for local fauna.
This itinerary has something for everyone and any weather event that may occur.
We have hand picked the highlights of the North East region and developed an itinerary that our local guides can adapt to best suit the weather on any given day.
Departing from Launceston – we visit Mt William National Park, the historic Eddystone Point lighthouse, Anson’s Bay, North East Dairy country, and the sweeping Bay of Fires Conservation Area. This is an active, yet relaxing escape to a very peaceful part of the world.
