Overview

This tour is one of our favourites, with time to slow down, relax, and take in the scenery at the stunning Bay of Fires. You’ll find your own connection to the landscape as you take in the gorgeous colours of the turquoise waters, white sands, and bright orange lichen-covered granite. We take the time to be mindful in this beautiful, remote corner of the world and come together to share a drink and a laugh with a group of like-minded people.

With plenty of serenity, beautiful scenery, local Tasmanian produce, and a social, supportive atmosphere, this is the perfect escape.

If you love white beaches and crystal-clear waters, this is the tour for you. The Grade 2 level makes this a good introduction to multi-day walking, and our beautiful accommodation ensures that all you need to carry is a day bag with water and a sunhat (it’s Tassie, so maybe a waterproof jacket too). Some general fitness is required for consecutive days of walking, but this is an adventure about coming together with a group of like-minded people and taking in the beauty of the Bay of Fires.

This is our first opportunity to really relax and get a feel for the true wilderness of this coastline. We will be surrounded by white sandy beaches, turquoise waters and impressive boulders.

With a mix of dirt roads and walking trails, this a welcome change to the sand walking, allowing you to stretch your legs out and enjoy good company and scenery.

WHY CHOOSE
TAKE SHAPE ADVENTURES

FRIENDSHIP

Most of the people that come on our tours come by themselves. Our community is built on friendships that have been made on our trips, experiencing something life changing together, the shared memories and also goals to do more in the future! We encourage people not to be anxious about coming on these trips by yourself as we promise you will leave with some like minded friends and be really glad you made the decision to get out of your comfort zone and join in.

BELONG

Our community is our backbone. We have had so many people start with no hiking experience, basic fitness and not knowing anyone on our trips. These same people have gone on to do some incredible multi day hiking trips with us and their friends they have met in our community. Witnessing the development of their fitness, confidence, experience, friendships and happiness is why we do what we do. Come join us and let us help you get from the couch to the top of the mountain!

ADVENTURE

Experiences, not things. The moments that take your breath away. The feeling of accomplishment and the realisation that you are capable of so much more than what you thought. The views that blow your mind and the ticking off of bucket list items. We take all the hard work out of it for you. We organise the lot so you can just turn up and get the best of your experience without all the headaches of organising/logistics. We make it easy for you to do all the thing you want to do – you just need to turn up and be ready to jump into life!
