Your adventure begins in Launceston. Take the day to explore this city at your own pace. Enjoy a dinner, perhaps a gallery. The choice is yours. Rest up it’s an early start tomorrow.

Your adventure begins in Launceston before travelling to the spectacular Bay of Fires region. From here, set out on your first walk along the Cobler Rocks Loop, a 7 km grade 3 track weaving through banksia heathland, sandy beaches and granite headlands within Mount William National Park. After a picnic lunch at Stumpy’s Bay, tackle the Mount William Summit Track – a 3 km return walk climbing to the highest point in the park for sweeping coastal and inland views. Later, continue to the seaside town of St Helens where you’ll settle in for the next two nights and share dinner with your group.

After breakfast, travel north to Eddystone Point Lighthouse for today’s coastal loop walk. This 10 km grade 3 hike follows sandy beaches and formed coastal tracks, with the occasional rocky scramble along the way. Take in sweeping views across the clear waters of Banks Strait while learning about the historic lighthouse that once guided ships through these rugged waters.
Later, return to St Helens to visit Priory Ridge Winery. Meet the family behind the vineyard, learn about the estate and unwind with a relaxed tasting of local cool-climate wines.

Meals: B,L

This morning, travel to The Gardens, a spectacular stretch of coast known for orange-lichen boulders, white-sand beaches and crystal-clear water. Set out on a coastal walk toward Binalong Bay, keeping an eye out for wallabies and echidnas along the way. After a morning tea stop, continue on the scenic walk from Skeleton Bay to Dora Point, following single-track trails through coastal heath and dry sclerophyll forest. After today’s 11 km walk, return to Launceston where your journey concludes with a drop-off at the airport or in town.
