Whether you're chasing the solitude of Tasmania’s World Heritage wilderness or keen to explore at your own pace, an active self guided adventure gives you the freedom to walk your own trail - with expert backup behind the scenes.

Enter active self guided holidays. They give you the flexibility of moving when and how you want - with the added security of having the logistics taken care of - from national park permits and gear drops to accommodation, route mapping and transfers.

What does an active self guided walking or cycling trip involve?

Think of an active self guided trip as independent adventure with a safety net. You’re in control of your pace, schedule and trail companions - but backed by a locally based team who’ve planned every detail.

On iconic Tasmanian routes like the Overland Track or Walls of Jerusalem Circuit, our active self guided treks include food drops, high-quality camp gear, detailed notes, transport, permits and 24/7 support. You focus on the walking - we take care of the rest.

Prefer two wheels? Our Tassie cycling trips offer similar freedom - with luggage transfers, pre-arranged accommodation, quality maps and backup assistance all part of the package.

How different is an active self guided hike or ride to fully independent travel?

Planning it all yourself might sound rewarding - until the spreadsheets, schedules, bookings and gear lists pile up. It’s a lot of work for what should be a relaxing, inspiring experience. And when you're dealing with remote regions, local knowledge makes a big difference.

Active self guided holidays take the best parts of independent travel and layer on decades of regional expertise, logistical know-how and planning support. You get the control - without the admin burden.

Our Tassie-based team handles the logistics, leaving you free to enjoy the wilderness, explore off the grid, and immerse yourself in the experience. From hut bookings to national park fees, from walking notes to food planning - it’s all sorted.

Whether you're a seasoned bushwalker or new to multi-day treks, an active self guided trip in Tasmania gives you just the right mix of freedom and confidence.

6 benefits of opting for an active self guided walking or cycling trip:

1. Convenience: Avoid spending hours planning routes, gear, and logistics. We provide purpose-built itineraries crafted from local knowledge - so you save time and reduce stress before you even set foot on the trail.

2. Competitive pricing: With many trip inclusions like permits, gear hire, food drops and transport already arranged, it’s easier to budget upfront - and you’ll often save compared to booking it all yourself.

3. Luggage and gear support: On cycling trips, your bags are transferred for you daily. On walking trips like the Overland Track, we include food drops to lighten your pack and streamline your walk.

4. Move at your own pace: Pause for photos, take that scenic detour, or simply enjoy a slower pace. With no group schedule to follow - you’re free to design the experience around your own rhythm and goals.

5. Updated local maps and notes: Our route notes are updated more frequently than guidebooks and benefit from real-time feedback. They’re clear, practical and written specifically for Tassie conditions.

6. Reliable support: Trekking in Tasmania’s wild places is unforgettable - but weather and terrain can change fast. With 24/7 emergency contact and local backup, help is never far away if you need it.

If you want the adventure of independent travel without the time drain or stress - our active self guided holidays offer the perfect solution. It’s your trek, your way - with the benefit of our expertise behind you.
