For those seeking a real challenge and to head deeper into the wilderness, you'll find what you're looking for in our Suuthwest wilderness.

The Southwest National Park is our largest, covering 10% of the state. Jagged peaks, windswept coastlines battered from Antarctic windds, primeval rainforests - this is terrain for more experienced walkers who are open moments where you may be knee deep - or higher - in mud!

The South Coast Track is the most popular walk and it requires experience and commitment, as do most of the walks on offer in the Southwest of Tasmania.

Why travel with us

Ultimate value

Our active Tasmanian adventures offer exceptional value for money incorporating as many inclusions as possible in every tour such as meals, transport, entrance fees and permits.

Expertly planned

With over 40 years in the business, we have finessed our range of adventure tours. You’ll get a planned itinerary that explores some of the most remote destinations in Tasmania, and while our guides organise the nitty gritty logistics, you get to spend more time enjoying the scenery and surrounds.

Leaders in responsible travel

Responsible travel practice is at the heart of every program that we offer in Tasmania. When you book one of our trips you're supporting true sustainability in the protection of local communities, natural environments and wildlife.

Experienced guides

Gain insight into the history, geography, wildlife and culture along the way to ensure you get the most out of your trip, as well as the comfort of knowing you are travelling with well equipped, experienced guides who can support you throughout the trip.

Responsible travel

 

Human food drops

To minimise impact our food drops are rotated from sites to enable rainforest to regenerate. Food drops are vermin & weather proof. 95% of our trips employ locals to make food drops rather than utilize helicopters – thus reducing carbon emissions

Promote public environmental awareness

Our guides encourage and promote an understanding of conservation through interpretation natural and historic values, and ensure our presence has no effect on historic, Aboriginal and archaeological locations.

Campsite etiquette

Our groups use established camping sites, such as raised platforms or well worn camping sites instead of pitching on untarnished land. Once camp is established, our groups minimise their movements to reduce their trace on the environment.

Stay on track

To protect the environment and our clients’ wellbeing, we stay on the formed track. If the track is braided or wide our groups stay in the middle, and if there is no track our groups fan out and do not follow in each other's footsteps.

Pack it in - pack it out

All of our adventures have a pack it in – pack it our policy and we encourage our clients to pick up any rubbish they spot along the trails.

Ecotourism certification

Many of the itineraries offered by Tasmanian Expeditions have achieved Ecotourism Certification at the ECO IV level. The ECO Certification Program is a world first and has been developed to address the need to identify genuine nature and ecotourism operators.

Minimal impact techniques

Minimal impact bushwalking techniques are used to reduce the effects that people have on the environment. This allows walkers to enjoy their natural surroundings without causing too much environmental degradation.

Accommodation

Remote wilderness campsites

Camping in beautiful, remote and secluded campsites. We provide good quality tents (twin-share) and inflatable sleeping mats for trips such as the South Coast Track and Port Davey trips

Cabins

Stay in quality cabins outside of cities that are well maintained with good facilities. These properties may be basic, however we ensure they offer you a truly authentic experience.

Custom made itineraries

A custom made itinerary is the ultimate way to see the world how YOU want. They are created especially for you, giving you complete freedom to choose what you want to see, where you want to go and when you want to do it. If you love our current itineraries but want to customise it privately as a couple, a group of friends, family, club, business or school, you have the freedom to add or remove as many elements as you like to suit the interests of your group. Alternatively, you can start with a blank canvas and create a new and exciting itinerary from scratch! Our well-travelled consultants can give you firsthand suggestions and eliminate any uncertainty with trip planning to ensure you maximise the quality of your experience and get truly off the beaten track.
