Day 1
One night
Launceston – Bridport – Mount William National Park | 12km, approx 4.5 hours
(easy to moderate)

Launceston, Bridport, Mt. William National Park

Welcome to Tasmania! A whole new world of wilderness and wonder awaits as you’re
picked up by your expert guide from the Hotel Grand Chancellor in Launceston at
7.45am. As you head towards the island’s spectacular northeast coast, you will
pass through Lilydale and the Pipers River wine region before taking a short
break in the beachside village of Bridport, known for its alabaster sands and
world-famous golf course.

Your trek begins in Mount William National Park, windswept and effortlessly
beautiful, where you’ll walk the powder-white sands of Cape Naturaliste. As you
journey, keep an eye out for the region’s cherished wildlife, including
red-billed oystercatchers and prickly sea urchins. Your expert local guide will
ensure you don’t miss a thing.

Once you’ve taken afternoon tea, head inland to the summit of wukalina/Mount
William, where panoramic views of the coast await. On clear days, you may be
able to spot the nearby islands of Furneaux – the last remaining marker of the
prehistoric land bridge which once connected Tasmania to the mainland. Return
and rest your legs on the short bus ride to your charming accommodation at Icena
Farm, where you’ll enjoy pre-dinner nibbles followed by a delicious two-course
meal prepared by your guides.

Inclusions
Icena Farm (The Shearer’s Quarters)
Lunch and Dinner
Day 2
One night
Stumpys Bay – Cod Bay – Deep Creek | 14km, approx 6 hours (moderate)

Mt. William National Park

After breakfast, head out to Stumpys Bay for the longest leg of your Tasman
trek. From its long beaches and countless rockpools to its unique history and
abundant plant life, Stumpys Bay is a site of constant fascination. It’s here
that you’ll be properly introduced to the blazing orange lichen-covered boulders
for which the Bay of Fires is known.

You’ll soon reach the long, sandy stretch of Cod Bay, one of the most remote
sections of your walk, before ascending a series of inland tracks that cut
across coastal heathland vegetation. Take lunch in a secluded nook before
pressing on to a secret lagoon, where you may be able to glimpse the region’s
many native wombats, black swans and native hens, before pressing on to Deep
Creek. Dependent on water levels, you may walk or wade across a small stream to
your picturesque afternoon tea spot.

If time permits, take a quick 20-minute stroll up the beach to the picturesque
Picnic Rocks or cool off with a refreshing dip, then board your bus and return
to Icena Farm for the night. Enjoy another relaxing evening of pre-dinner
nibbles followed by a two-course meal prepared by your guides.

Inclusions
Icena Farm (The Shearer’s Quarters)
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 3
One night
Eddystone Point — Ansons Bay | 10km, approx 5 hours (moderate)

Eddystone, Ansons Bay

After breakfast, begin today's walk at Iarapuna/Eddystone Point with a visit to
the impressive pink granite lighthouse, built in 1889. This natural promontory
is a fascinating site of historic importance surrounded by windswept beach dunes
and captivating birdlife, such as the stout albatross and elegant gannet.
Discover seemingly endless coves, shelly beaches and small bays, then wade
across a narrow lagoon to end the day at the beautiful Ansons Bay. Birdlife here
is rich and varied, with nearly 100 species found in the vicinity, including the
superb blue wren, flame, dusk and scarlet robin.

After the day’s walk, take the bus back to your accommodation for one final
night of delicious pre-dinner nibbles followed by a fabulous two-course meal
prepared by your guides.

Inclusions
Icena Farm (The Shearer’s Quarters)
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 4
Last day
Moulting Bay – Georges Bay – Saint Helens – Launceston | 10km, approx 4 hours
(easy to moderate)

Launceston, Bay of Fires, St Helens

Get a slightly earlier start before heading into the Bay of Fires conservation
area for the last day of walking. Beginning at Moulting Bay, walk through gently
rustling xanthorrhoea or ‘grass trees’, dry scrubland and admire spectacular
coastal views. Trek through pearl-white beaches towards the Georges Bay Inlet
and admire the sight of Saint Helens in the far distance.

As you trek higher, you’ll journey through quiet woodland, catching glimpses of
the shimmering ocean where the tree line breaks. Enjoy lunch beneath the trees
and one final swimming opportunity before passing over the hill. Bid farewell to
one of the country’s best-kept secrets, then board your bus and head back to
Launceston via the quaint seaside town of Saint Helens.
