In fact, it’s one of our favourite ways to do a Great Walk of Australia!
We have sooo many people of all ages coming and doing a Great Walk by themselves, especially women, and embracing a journey semi-solo.
Some of the perks of doing a Great Walk by yourself include:
Solitude - without being totally alone. Have other like-minded people around for company or space, and time out when you want it.
Doing it just for you. Whether it’s for time out from life, for achievement, for reward, to explore, for recovery, to reconnect with nature, to build your confidence, or just for the adventure and fun of it.
Not having to wait for anyone else to do it.
Having the safety of guides leading you in these often remote trails, as well as sharing knowledge of the land and the nature you’re seeing.
Travelling without hassle. Have the convenience of your accommodation, food and transfers being entirely sorted by us.
Using it as an opportunity to build your hiking and bush comfort and confidence ahead of a fully solo walk.
Meeting other solo travellers on similar journeys.
Some of the Great Walks have NO single supplement and will guarantee your own room if travelling solo (limited spots).
Our most popular for solo walkers are:
Classic Larapinta Trek In Comfort
Freycinet Experience Walk
Flinders Island Walking Adventure In Comfort
On other Great Walks, you have the choice of booking and paying a single supplement to have your own room guaranteed OR you can choose to book at the standard cost and will only share if another solo traveller of the same gender books on.
Walks include:
Arkaba Walk
Cradle Mountain Signature Walk
Murray River Walk
Maria Island Walk
Bay Of Fires Signature Walk
Twelve Apostles Signature Walk
Three Capes Signature Walk
Don’t wait another year until your friends are ready... Grab your boots and come feel the wind in your hair today.

You’ll also get to stay in our beautiful lodge, exclusive to hikers, nestled in a beautiful patch of forest near Johanna Beach. Looking out onto giant tree ferns, sky high natives and grassy meadows where wallabies like to nibble and the sound of birds and cows fills the air, you’ll feel a million miles away from civilisation. 
Cabins feel like treehouses with big picture windows bringing the outside in and private decks perfect for a cuppa post hike or reading a book.
If the weather’s good, you’ll eat a scrumptious BBQ at the outdoor dining table overlooking the forest and enjoy a cheeky tipple around the fire pit, engrossed in a good conservation, watching the stars above. 
We can already imagine a deep breath of that delicious fresh country air, our blood pressure lowering and the relaxing good vibes from here… Bring on that green!

Don’t fret! A stress-busting extra long weekend getaway is only ever a hop and skip away with Great Walks of Australia 
Which is exactly what @spagirlrkris from Spa and Wellness Magazine did, taking a quick escape on the Bay Of Fires Signature Walk in Tasmania to start the year right: basking in extraordinary, remote nature, fresh air and wide open horizons (and one of the best outdoor baths in Australia) 
Over to Kris…
“Real connections were forged. With nature. With the 10 other legends on the walk. The two brilliant Guides… and unexpectedly, my creativity.
I have returned home pretty relaxed and totally enthused to take on the year.
What I took out of this incredible walk (a full-package experience) was this:
• Do a digital detox - even if it’s forced and feels uncomfortable at first, it will bring many benefits
• Less is more - in every sense. Less baggage, more freedom. Less clutter, more clarity
• Connections are the best for wellbeing. With humans, animals and nature. All needed!
• Nature is not just stunning, it puts things in perspective. And when you zoom out, wow, we are just visitors on this planet
• Transformation can happen at any age!”
Heck yes We are right there with you on all of the above!
Head to our website (link in bio) to book your new year self care kickstart on Bay Of Fires Signature Walk, and keep an eye out for Kris’s full story in Spa and Wellness Magazine.

Championing one of our most spectacular and fascinating wetlands, National Geographic has just named the Murray River one of its 25 Best Places in the World to Travel in 2025!
And one of the best ways to experience it? On the Murray River Walk in South Australia!
With masses of wildlife, old growth river red gum forests, unique ecosystems and its enchanting natural outback beauty, you’ll feel a world away in these dreamy landscapes, relaxing and soaking up the magic of ‘river time’.
Home to over 180 species of birds, the Murray is a bird watchers paradise. Emus, pelicans, and birds of prey are regulars, while rare and unique species such as the Regents Parrot will be a highlight if you spot them. Plus there's a myriad of other wildlife to capture your heart including kangaroos, goannas and echidnas, and a whole lot of marine life. 
All of this while kicking back on a brand new ultra-modern clean, green houseboat, with delicious South Australian meals and wine, ensuite bathrooms and a roof top spa to enjoy four magical outback days.
We’re already dreaming! Who else is in??
