In north-eastern Tasmania, the magnificent coastline known as the Bay of Fires appears as it has for thousands of years. The white sand beaches and orange lichen-covered headlands provide dramatic landscapes, diversity and wildlife. From October to May, you can walk along beaches, explore coves and see wildlife on the guided Bay of Fires Signature Walk. Rest at Forester Beach Camp for the first night, then enjoy the award-winning Bay of Fires Lodge. On the third day, the walk includes a half-day kayaking experience on the Ansons River. There’s time to relax, swim or treat yourself with a Signature Bath experience overlooking the ocean.

This itinerary will be replacing the four-day Bay of Fires Signature Walk from 1st July 2024.
If you are walking or want to walk before 1st July 2024, please view our four-day walk.
If squeaky white-sand beaches and wild coastline appeal to you, the Bay of Fires is a spectacular reason to lace up. Your walk begins in the small township of Hadspen, where you can get to know your fellow walkers over dinner, spending the first night of your trip in the quaint surrounds of Red Feather Inn.

The next day we begin our journey to the Mt William National Park. Starting our walk at Boulder Point, we venture four hours to Forester Camp. Nestled into the dunes, there is no roughing it, take an ocean dip and return for pinots poured and your meal underway.

Day three is all about secluded coves, hearing tales of early inhabitants and making our way to the Bay of Fires Lodge. This is home for the next two nights – where foot spas and library time come standard and signature experiences in the outdoor bath tempt. Day four, grab a kayak paddle and glide down the Ansons River or relax into a ‘lodge day.’

We take it easy on the final day, serving up a hearty brekkie followed by a one hour walk to our forest lunch location. It’s then onward to the walker base to celebrate our shared five days.
