Four of our walks named as Best Luxury Australian Adventure Experiences

     Category: News

We’re excited to announce that Bay of Fires Lodge Walk, Cradle Mountain Huts Walk, Arkaba Walk and The Maria Island Walk have been named by Luxury Travel in their Best luxury Australian adventure experience for 2017 – gold list.

As Australia’s only stand alone travel and lifestyle magazine, Luxury Travel devotes its quarterly publication entirely to luxury leisure travel. With their highly regarded gold lists being released each year, it is testament to our tour operators who have been named and awarded in the top 10 of this list.

3rd – Bay of Fires Lodge Walk, TAS

Positioned at number three in this incredible list is The Bay of Fires Lodge Walk. Providing guests with a luxurious hike through dramatic landscapes in this pristine and internationally acclaimed region, walkers traverse sandy beaches, discover coves, and kayak the Ansons River. The first night’s accommodation is nestled in a protected sand dune complete with a shower overlooking the ocean and the second and third night are set at the multi-award winning Bay of Fires Lodge. All meals are carefully prepared using only the finest Tasmania produce complete with world-class Tasmanian wines.

7th – Cradle Mountain Huts Walk, TAS

Rated at seventh on the list The Cradle Mountain Huts Walk is set in one of Australia’s most spectacular World Heritage Areas. This six day – five night walk journeys through a diverse range of terrain, teems with wildlife including wombats, echidnas and paddymelons, and has you cosied up at night in the Cradle Mountain Huts – sustainable, luxurious, private accommodaiton. Wine and dined each night with a three-course meal – this is another truly Australian luxury experience.

8th – Arkaba Walk, SA

Listed in eighth position The Arkaba Walk in South Australia is a quintessential outback experience, walking the ancient Flinders Ranges whilst discovering the stories of the land. With an abundance of iconic Australian animal sightings, evenings round a campfire, gourmet meals, incredible local wines, nights gazing up to a star studded in the comfort of Arkaba’s signature beds, and a final night at Arkaba’s heritage homestead, it is no wonder this luxurious Australian experience made this list.

10th – Maria Island Walk

And last but definitely not least The Maria Island Walk rounded off the tenth spot on this list. A walk that is used to accolades, it is an experience like no other, with a journey that combines rare wildlife, convict heritage and elegant accommodation. This world heritage island is home to wombats and the Tasmanian Devil. With luxury wilderness campsites just a stones throw from white-sand beaches, gourmet food and wine that is locally sourced from Tasmania’s renowned producers and a final night in a heritage house in Darlington – this soft adventure is the perfect indulgence for those looking to experience the natural beauty of Tasmania.
