“We spent 6 days hiking the Overland Trail, staying in comfortable huts, well-fed with amazing food and expertly led by guides. Apart from the obvious comfort advantages, the trip allowed each member of the group to walk at their own pace with the guides never far away, various side trip options which were fascinating/picturesque, and the guides were experts on the fauna, flora and history of the trail.”

Travel tips for Australia Hiking Tours
Pack light. Grams become kilograms when you’re lugging an overstuffed backpack on the trail. Packing light by forgoing a few luxuries will make your hike infinitely more enjoyable.
Evaluate your abilities and choose a suitable trail for your skill. Some of our favorite Australia hiking tours require a decent degree of fitness to complete.
Pick a tour in the middle of the peak season for the best chance of pleasant weather—but book ahead. Australia gets sweltering hot in summer and chilly in winter.
Choose professional hiking tours with experienced guides to tackle remote, multi-day trails. Aussie hikers get lost every year, and many are never found.
