Great Walks of Australia, the premier collection of Australia's greatest multi-day guided walking experiences - done with a dash of eco-luxury comfort - has officially named our Flinders Island Walking Adventure - In Comfort as the 13th walk in their exclusive line-up.

To say we're thrilled is an understatement. After years of hard work developing a unique walking experience on this mesmerising island featuring spectacular mountain and coastal landscapes, epic views, abundant wildlife and, of course, our pioneering beachside Eco-Comfort Camp, we believe it is truly deserving of the prestigious inclusion. 

The trip joins the ranks of 12 other incredible walks, like our award-winning Classic Larapinta Trek in Comfort, which, so far, has earned five Brolgas in the Northern Territory's official tourism awards.

Our six-day guided experience covers 42 kilometres of easy-to-moderate walking exploring what is considered the hidden hiking jewel of Tasmania. With the full support of expert guides, walkers travel with only a daypack, and sleep in exclusive safari-style tents, complete with a see-through roof so you can drift off under a blanket of stars, with the beach almost at your doorstep.

“We’re so thrilled to be adding the 13th Great Walk of Australia to our collection.”

“Rugged, pristine and remote, this gem of a destination is perfect for anyone wanting to get off the beaten track to a unique, undiscovered wild landscape with blockbuster views and feel like you have it nearly all to yourself.”

“I have no doubt hikers from around the world are going to be excited about having this special new experience launch and love it as much as our other 12 incredible Great Walks,” 

- Liz O’Rourke, Great Walks of Australia Executive Officer

What makes this a ‘Great Walk’?  

Spectacular Walking Opportunities and Eco-Comfort Camping 

Hike past lagoons, woodlands and coastal heaths, skirt around striking granite mountain ranges and summit the dramatic peaks of Mt Killiecrankie and Mt Strzelecki, affording you spectacular views over the entire island.

One of the biggest highlights of this walk is our exclusive Eco-comfort Camp, which are big on comforts but small on environmental impact.

The extra creature comforts make all the difference on a multi-day walk. Our innovative retreats are full of life's little luxuries that many don't expect in a wild and remote setting like a bed, hot shower and toilets. The camp also has a private beach access, and generously sized safari pod tents with clear roofs so you can enjoy sleeping under a starry Tasmanian night sky.
