Four Day Bay of Fires Walking Tour
At the edge of Tasmania’s Mt. William National Park, the magnificent wilderness coastline known as the Bay of Fires invites you to experience its dramatic landscape, ecology and wildlife. Led by qualified and friendly guides, small groups can explore both the fascinating beach environment and the rich diversity of the nearby woodlands.
This pristine coastal stretch of azure water and rocky headlands, with boulders dotted offshore, appears as if untouched for thousands of years and offers a beautifully remote landscape with something for everyone to discover.
The first night’s accommodation is spent at the environmentally friendly Forester Beach Camp. The second and third nights’ accommodation are at the multi-award winning Bay of Fires Lodge where guests are welcomed with an open living area complete with fireplace and private twin-share bedrooms. The perfect place to unwind at the end of each day.
Relax in some truly spectacular eco luxury and bring with you your sense of adventure.

What a beautiful experience! A wonderful journey, great company and gorgeous scenery. Thanks to Dom & Joel for looking after us so well and adding lots of fun and humour whilst still being very informative. Had a wonderful night sleep at the camp and the lodge is very stylish. A great mix of activities followed by sensational food. We have really enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks to all the team you definately have it down to a fine art. Brilliant!
Paula – Bay of Fires guest in February 2011We've thoroughly enjoyed our "Bay of Fires" experience. Our guides Rita & Sam have been exceptional - very friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and fun! It was so nice to return to the comfortable lodge after our daily activities to fine wine and beautiful food! And of course the scenery is amazing. Thanks for everything.
Andrea & Chris – Bay of Fires guests in February 2011It's hard not to be repetitive. What are themes? Fabulous experience, spectacular food, great guides, huge skies, remarkable landscape. Perhaps the world would be a better place if more people had access to experiences like this.
There were six of us, friends and relations with a very happy smattering of others who were delightful company. We started laughing fairly early on in the bus ride and I'm not sure we stopped till we hauled ourselves off into our accommodation after we'd finished having had what my wife called 'a whale of a time'.
There is a very particular pleasure in this experience I think. Despite all the laughter and conviviality, there is something meditative in the rhythms you establish when you walk with your destination in sight but perhaps an hour or an hour and a half away. The destination disappears in the step-by-step process of the moment. And then the step-by-step business dissolves and your mind becomes calmer and easier, healthier. That sounds a bit cosmic, but I think it is something like that, measured off against the warmth of the welcome and the splendid fun of the sociability when the walking stops. And we did see Sea Eagles. That almost in itself was worth the price.
Great guides (Bree and Simon), great guiding. This trip and the Overland have the same excellent flavour which one of us described as casual and relaxed, but absolutely tuned in. It is a very special skill and helps make a very fine experience a great one. Fabulous. We are all so glad we went.
