What people love about Hiking & Trekking Tours in Australia
My Overland Track hike with Intrepid Travel was excellent. The trip was run by Tasmanian Hikes and there was nothing at all I would give them anything less than an excellent rating. The equipment was top notch, the guides were superb, the food was amazing (and very unexpected) and the knowledge of the hike, flora and fauna and the area itself were second to none.
Trek the Cradle Mountain Overland Track
- Blue Mountains Sunset Tour 1 DAY
The tour was really well led, Kelly was very friendly and knowledgable which helped make the tour more enjoyable. The blue mountains are one of the most beautiful places on earth we have had the pleasure to visit
- Kakadu National Park Wildlife Day Trip
It’s a long drive, but it was worth it. Our driver was very informative
What our customers ask about Hiking & Trekking Tours & Trips in Australia
What are the most challenging hiking trails in Australia and what fitness level is required?
The Australian outback presents trails for every skill level. The demanding Larapinta Trail requires 6-7 hours of daily hiking stretching up to 20km through rugged terrain. More accessible options include Queensland's Scenic Rim trails which offer gentler paths. Tasmania's Overland Track tests hikers with a 15kg pack requirement while Kakadu National Park presents shorter 2-4km walks for those with basic fitness. A TourRadar traveler noted about the Larapinta Trail: "The tour could be two days longer so that there is more time in the Karijini. The driving hours on the website would also have to be adjusted we were always on the road much longer." Overnight options range from basic campsites to upscale stays at places like Cicada Lodge in Nitmiluk National Park.
When is the best time to go hiking in Australia considering weather and trail conditions?
Each region has its prime hiking window. Tasmania's Cradle Mountain welcomes hikers from October to March with pleasant temperatures. The Red Centre's Larapinta Trail draws visitors from April to September before summer heat sets in. Kakadu's paths open up during the dry season from May to October. The Scenic Rim paths in Queensland stay accessible year-round with spring bringing the most favorable conditions. A past hiker shared about the Overland Track: "Very good tour guide and weather. I'm still impressed by Sue's knowledge easygoing way and dealing with problems. The hiking conditions were perfect for us during March."

The trails through Australia's national parks offer frequent wildlife sightings. Kakadu's Yellow Water Billabong hosts saltwater crocodiles wallabies and diverse birdlife. Around Cradle Mountain Tasmania hikers often spot wombats Tasmanian devils and echidnas. The Red Centre paths cross paths with red kangaroos dingoes and various reptiles. A visitor to Kakadu reported: "Our guide Lee was so attentive and knowledgeable. Fogg Dam was spectacular and the water lily and bird life was amazing."
What type of accommodation can I expect on multi-day hikes in Australia?
Sleep arrangements span from wilderness camping to lodge stays. The Kimberley Trail provides safari-style permanent tents with shared facilities while Cape to Cape Track hikers return each night to the Margaret River Hotel. The Jatbula Trail offers starlit camping with basic amenities. One traveler's Kimberley experience: "Kato & Jacob are super guides and the camping experience was unbelievably great with surprisingly comfortable facilities in such a remote region."

Aboriginal heritage forms a key part of many hiking experiences. Jatbula Trail hikers visit ancient rock art while Blue Mountains tours often include Aboriginal-guided walks with dreamtime storytelling.

Bay of Fires walks include lodging food wine park fees and Launceston transfers. Kimberley adventures provide 4WD transport camping equipment most meals and expert guides.
