Overview
4 Day Bay of Fires Walking Tour
Explore stunning larapuna / Bay of Fires, over four fantastic days of beach walking and sightseeing.
Enjoy spectacular beaches interspersed with bright orange lichen covered boulders and 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, and is almost exclusively beach walking. You will pass granite headlands, whilst zigzagging through native heath country on the lookout for local fauna.
Departing Launceston – we visit the historic lighthouse at Eddystone Point, Anson’s Bay, and the sweeping Bay of Fires Conservation Area. This is an active, yet relaxing escape to a very peaceful part of the world.
Please note our itinerary may change from time to time on account of inclement weather. In such conditions our walk for day 4 will be relocated to the most sheltered Dora Point – Skeleton Bay, taking in another equally stunning stretch of coastline.
In addition – each day’s walking can also be shortened for anyone seeking a slightly easier/abbreviated itinerary.

**Your guides may swap days 3 & 4 depending on weather and group dynamic. If so, it is lovely having a coffee in the township of St Helens with time to explore local artisan and produce stores. It is also a nice way to break up the beach walking days.
*If your guides decide to swap days 3 & 4, you will return to Launceston from Anson’s Bay via Bridport.
*Walking times and distances may be adapted to the weather and groups needs based on guides discretion.Each day we also provide fruit, snacks, tea and coffee and a nibbles platter.
Each evening after our days walking, we return back to our accommodation for some time to refresh and enjoy the spectacular scenery of Icena Farm. Your guides will curate a beautiful nibbles platter for you, providing the perfect setting for a relaxing evening. During this time, they will also conduct a briefing, offering insights into the days experiences and outlining your upcoming adventures. Using a map of the area, your guides will illustrate the various regions and walks we are set to explore in the days ahead.
