Bay of Fires
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.

Trip Highlights
Itinerary
We begin with a pick up from Launceston Airport or the CBD, before driving across to the north-east, with a break to stretch our legs. Enjoy your first delicious lunch on the coast then spend a few hours exploring around Eddystone Point and the Lighthouse.
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. Truly a wonderful place with great weather so we can dip our toes in!
We’ll then drive to our accommodation at St Helens for dinner and a relax.

We’ll drive to The Gardens and walk along a stunning section of beach. This is a must-see area, with the crystal clear water, bright white sands, and coastal heath making for a great morning stroll. Enjoy morning tea on the beach followed by a very short drive to the Skeleton Bay Circuit. 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. Weather dependent, there may even be time for a swim!
We head back to the accommodation and enjoy a leisurely yoga/stretch session to ease out any sore muscles. Refuel with dinner and a well deserved relax.

We drive to Mount William National Park, climb to the summit, and then explore more beaches and views of the Tasman Ocean on the Cobblers Rocks circuit. This area is rich in wildflowers and home to some very large kangaroos! Another opportunity to walk on soft white beaches and feel the sand between your toes.
We return to our accommodation for some down time or a self-guided exploration of the town. Dig into our last dinner together, followed by a free night to sit around and chat or play some board games.

This morning we pack up and leave our accommodation with big smiles and head off inland for a relaxing morning visiting the Pyengana Cheese Factory for a yummy coffee and maybe a little cheese purchase, then jump on the bus and head for Launceston. Along this gorgeous scenic drive, we’ll stop for our last delicious lunch and an optional coffee purchase.
