Alpine Loop

Recommencing in May 2021 or by private booking. A spectacular loop walk starting at the Springs, half way up the mountain. Walk through eucalyptus forest, past boulder fields and find yourself at an abandoned ice house ruin. Continue uphill and cross an alpine boulder field before arriving at the pinnacle. Enjoy a well deserved break before descending down the spectacular Zig Zag track alongside the amazing dolerite cliffs of the Organ Pipes. This walk has it all – forest, history, views and awesome geology!

Explore the Southern Stars

This tour incorporates expert guidance from the Astronomical Society of Tasmania. We will be guided around the night sky, starting with the Moon and our solar system. We should be able to look at other planets through a telescope. Then we’ll look further out to the milky way and into deep space.

Sea to Summit

Challenge yourself to this full day iconic walk. Dip your toe in the Derwent River and finish at the pinnacle of kunanyi / Mt Wellington 1271 meters above sea level. The trails will follow in Charles Darwin’s footsteps, taking in the full range of natural and cultural wonders that hide among the mountain slopes. Not one for the faint of heart – epic, challenging, but oh what a great achievement.

In Darwin's Footsteps

Retracing the footsteps of Sir Charles Darwin’s climb of kunanyi / Mt Wellington, this tour is a series of easy short walks visiting the most loved spots on the mountain. Soak up the view, learn about the giant ferns and the mountain's significant role in Darwin's theory of evolution.

A mountain of stories

We offer the first and only guided walk from Sea to Summit. those that are up for the challenge can experience one of the steepest bioclines in the world, from coastal to alpine. We offer a range of walks for all abilities, all of which include a visit to the summit to enjoy the famous views.

Come up close to the giant swamp gums, the tallest flowering plant on earth. Stand beneath the towering cliffs of the organ pipes, hear how they were formed, a process responsible for much of Tasmania’s unique scenery. We are the only walking tour company that focusses on this truly special mountain, continuously researching its hidden cultural stories to share with you.
