Tasmania - A Bushwalkers Mecca


Tasmania is one of the world’s most mountainous islands and its natural environment is relatively unspoiled.

Almost 35% of Tasmania lies in National Parks, Reserves and Heritage sites.

This makes Tasmania a mecca for bushwalkers and local guided walking company Adventure Seekers Wilderness Journeys provide truly unique and exceptional walking experiences for their guests.

Adventure Seekers guides are professional, passionate and focused on delivering world class walking tours, which are geared toward a variety of fitness levels and walking styles.

Lush rainforests, craggy mountains, deserted beaches and hanging glacial lakes await the active adventurer. Here are some of the places that we can take you to.

4 Days – Easy/Medium

4 days of island exploration with breathtaking scenery and a rich history. This is a supported walk carrying light packs and it’s easy on the sole.

Overland Track
6 Days – Medium

This is Tasmania’s most iconic walk, starting at Cradle Mountain and snaking through rainforests and past craggy mountain peaks to Lake St Clair. With a superb itinerary and great food this is an exceptional wilderness experience.

South Coast Track
9 Days – Medium/Hard

Start your walk with a breathtaking flight to the “worlds end” then walk the southern coastline of Tasmania from west to east. You’ll pass through temperate rainforests and over wilderness beaches. This walk suits the more experienced trekker and load carrier.

Frenchman’s Cap
5 Days – Medium

A return walk, to the summit of the magnificent white quartzite dome that is Frenchman’s Cap. Behold the stunning vistas to be had over the heartland of Tasmania.

 Walls of Jerusalem
6 Days – Medium

Simply serene! A 6 day circuit in an alpine wonderland of majestic mountain tarns and unique alpine vegetation. Picturesque camping spots lie in the shadows of rustic mountain huts. Heavenly!

Tasman Peninsula
4 Days - Medium/Hard

Walk along the top of Australia’s highest vertical sea cliffs. This walk extends out to Capes Pillar and Hauy and boasts spectacular ocean rock stacks and off shore islands.

Lake Oberon
6 Days – Hard

Lake Oberon sits at an elevation of 800m in the Western Arthur Range. Camp beside pristine lakes and be amazed at the geological wonderment of what is part of the “best ridge walk” in Australia.

Wild Hikes
Hard Yakka!

Wild Hikes will take you into the wild South West World Heritage area of Tasmania. The places that we visit are, remote, off track and limited to small groups. Destinations include the Western Arthur Range and South West Cape.

Adventure Seekers Wilderness Journeys also run Electric Bike Tours (fun for the whole family) up the East Coast of Tasmania as well as an adventurous 6day Backpacker Safari.

Overland Track Guided Walk, Tasmania

This is where you start your 6 day guided walk of the Overland Track with Adventure Seekers - at Ronny Creek and the walker registration hut.
The weather is a bit misty and mysterious as you can see in the picture but we are hoping that it will improve for the guys.
The track snakes its way past Cradle Mountain and highland lakes and over mountainous passes to Lake St Clair and the ferry ride to Cynthia Bay.
You'll have close encounters with wombats, devils and inquisitive possums.

Overland Track Walk - Now with "Live Track"

Adventure Seekers Overland Track Guided Walks now come equipped with "Live Track"

Live Track records your exact position every 10 minutes with a product called SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger. SPOT uses the GPS satellite system (much like in a car) to determine your location.

Family and friends can track your walk progress from the comfort of their home from anywhere in the world in real-time, using Google Maps.

The SPOT leaves a virtual breadcrumb trail of your Overland Track walk and it's fun for friends to follow your wilderness journey.

Bushwalker Transport Tasmania

Getting to the start as well as back form many of Tasmania's bushwalking tracks can be quite challenging.

Organising transport should be done in advance before booking your tours, and even if you are self guiding. Some services are limited by their frequency and timing.

Adventure Seekers, based in Hobart may be your answer to get you or your group to walks such as the Overland Track and Scott's Peak - the start of the Western Arthur Traverse and the Port Davey Track.

Generally if you are a group of at least 3 we can get you to the trailhead and back at a time and day that is convenient for you. A group of 5 or more will attract a discounted rate.

The next time you need bushwalker transport in Tasmania, consider us.
