Women Embrace Hiking Tasmania November 2024

Join us and hike the rugged southeast coast of Tasmania on this fully supported and professionally guided 6-day/5-night adventure. Discover the pristine and wild Tasman National Park, Bruny Island and Hobart with a new and exciting daily adventure.

Witness the towering cliff faces of the Tasman Peninsula, home to the awe-inspiring Three Capes, considered by many to be the most unique coastal landmark in Australia – if not the world. We’ll hike two of the Capes, Raoul and Hauy, climb Mount Brown and explore the sites from the Blow Hole to Waterfall Bay.

While hiking, you’ll get to experience the best of what the Tasman Peninsula has to offer each day and then head back to your four-star accommodation at Stewarts Bay Lodge in Port Arthur to refresh, dine on seasonal meals made from the freshest local produce, and prepare for your next day’s exploration. Stewarts Bay Lodge is nestled between the beach and the forest, where you'll sleep to the sound of the calming ocean in this World Heritage National Park.

You’ll traverse the stunning trails with nothing more than a light day pack, and we’ll take care of all the rest.

Exploring the infamous Port Arthur, a short walk along the waterfront from our accommodation, will be an eye-opening highlight.

To top things off, we’ll spend a fabulous day exploring another of Tasmania’s ultimate natural beauty spots on wild Bruny Island where we will immerse ourselves in the breathtaking scenery of world-class beaches, rugged coastlines, and mesmerising lookouts. We’ll explore the island’s unique environment with easy walks through temperate rainforests, meeting native wildlife and indulging in the finest local produce at stops along the way. We might even enjoy a cheeky wine or two at lunch!

On our last morning together, we’ll explore the famous Salamanca Markets to find local treasures to bring home after an amazing adventure.

Whether you come on your own, with a friend or in a group, Women Embrace Adventure provide a welcoming, inclusive environment where you can enjoy and challenge yourself.
