French Island Full Pack Hike
French Island is in the heart of Westernport Bay, and offers tranquil surroundings and pristine flora and fauna. With next to no traffic, thousands of koalas and plenty of history, this makes for a perfect overnight hike. This trip includes ferry fees, camping permits, professional guides and yummy home cooked food! The French Island hike is also a bit of a bonus because you can get right to the start on the train!
If you have never done an overnight hike or you’re unsure about carrying a pack, then this is an opportunity to make the most of it! We only carry our backpacks for the first 5km, then set up camp and continue with day bags to explore the wilderness and easy tracks around the Island. The short distance we carry our backpacks also means we can afford to take a few more of life’s luxuries or to test gear that you are unfamiliar with.
With great proximity to Melbourne, this is a wonderful opportunity to explore a part of Victoria that is not often visited, yet offers some of the best walking, right at our doorstep.

Testimonials
“I love hiking and getting out in nature but having never camped before (I like my comfort!) the thought of an overnight hike was rather daunting and an impossible feat for a while. Having watched the TSA trips for a while I decided to try out the beginner’s overnighter. If I hated it, it would be over soon enough!
Being able to borrow all the gear from TSA was a major plus. The guides – Nina and Liam were real gems and just delightful. They took extra good care of the group and made sure we were as comfortable as possible.
I loved my overnight intro – sure I was a bit stiff and sore but loved the hiking experience and the total immersion in nature that only a multi day provides. Highly recommend.”
