Morning walk: 4.3kms. 1.5 hours. Grade: Moderate Walk. Elevation 205m. Some short steep sections.
Afternoon walk: 2kms. 1.5 hours. Grade: Easy Walk. Includes a 210 step-staircase down to the waterfall viewing platform

ITINERARY: Guests will meet our guides at 8am in the foyer of the Grand Chancellor in Launceston. We depart Launceston travelling west to Waratah in the Tarkine. This morning’s walk takes us along the Tarkine’s Powerhouse and Ringtail Falls Walk a hidden gem, offering a peaceful escape into lush rainforest. This moderate trail winds through towering tree ferns and myrtle forests, following a gently flowing creek before reaching the stunning Ringtail Falls. Along the way, walkers pass the remnants of an old hydroelectric powerhouse, a relic of the region’s history, now reclaimed by nature. The sound of cascading water grows louder as the track opens to the falls, where moss-covered rocks and crystal-clear pools create a serene setting. A rewarding and less-traveled walk, it’s perfect for those seeking a quiet connection with Tasmania’s wild beauty. Later we make our way to Philosopher’s Falls, a stunning rainforest walk that winds through mossy myrtle forests, following an old water race to a viewing platform overlooking the cascading falls. Rich in history and natural beauty, the trail is home to vibrant fungi, towering tree ferns, and the occasional glimpse of a platypus in the creek below. After these two fabulous walks we make our way to the remote Corinna Wilderness Lodge set in the heart of the Tarkine near the pristine Pieman River for the next 3 nights. Corinna was once a historical gold mining settlement in the 1800s and as such this remote Resort still has some of the historical buildings of this era. Our guests will stay in the best accommodation in the township in 1 bedroom cottages. Take a well-deserved break before indulging in a hearty meal accompanied by fine wine at the esteemed Tannin Restaurant.

Day 2

Day 2 – Tarkine Coast Walk

WALK GRADE: 6 hours walking. 13kms. Good level of fitness required. Grade: Moderate.

TERRAIN: Mainly flat walking, no inclines. Some walking on sand, rock hopping and formed trails.

WALK ITINERARY: After breakfast, we join our private boat transfer down the pristine Pieman River to enjoy a truly personal experience with river and rainforest. This river is engulfed by stunning rainforest with mirror-like reflections at every turn. Our boat transfer drops us off at the edge of the forest, where the river spills into the sea. From here we head north to the coastline to do a section of the ‘Tarkine Coast Track’. This Coastline is one of the world’s wildest and most spectacular stretches of coastline. Looking out to sea, you would need to travel 2/3 of the entire globe before you reached land again in South America. This spot is like nothing you have ever seen; marvel at the huge surf driven by the roaring 40s, coastal meadows and rocky headlands. Sea eagles, Tasmanian Devils, wombats and seabirds all make this wild coastline their home. Late afternoon we return to our accommodation at the Corinna Wilderness Lodge for a relaxing dinner in the Tannin Restaurant and to chat about today’s adventures.

*Please note dependant on weather conditions if they are not favourable the captain of the boat may choose to travel in a southerly direction and the walk will not be as advertised .

WALK ITINERARY: After breakfast, we begin our day with a breathtaking walk along the pristine Savage River. Surrounded by rugged, untouched wilderness, this immersive trail winds through a tapestry of ancient forest and raw, untamed beauty. Marvel at the towering trees and moss-covered undergrowth as the river flows beside us, offering a constant soundtrack of nature’s serenity. For those preferring a gentler pace, the Whyte River walk provides a shorter but equally picturesque option, featuring tranquil riverside scenery and the calming sounds of native birdlife.

In the afternoon, adventurers have two unforgettable experiences to choose from. One option is a rewarding climb to the summit of Mt Donaldson — a steady ascent through striking terrain leading to panoramic views that stretch across Tasmania’s vast and wild landscapes. The climb offers a true sense of achievement, with vistas that make every step worthwhile. Alternatively, for a more tranquil experience, opt for a serene kayaking journey to the secluded Lover’s Falls. Paddle gently through lush rainforest waterways, surrounded by the stillness of nature, until you arrive at the stunning waterfall cascading into a peaceful pool — a hidden gem tucked within Tasmania’s ancient wilderness. This peaceful paddle is the perfect way to absorb the region’s natural splendour at a slower, more intimate pace.

MAIN WALK ITINERARY:After breakfast, we set off on our final adventure, a spectacular walk in the Tarkine mountains. The trail leads us on a steady and rewarding ascent through enchanting forest, where the air is crisp and alive with the scent of eucalyptus and the sound of native birdsong. As we climb higher, the landscape begins to transform, revealing the rugged charm of Tasmania’s alpine environment. Our goal is to Mt Farrell, and the journey there is nothing short of breathtaking. The track winds its way through a diverse array of native vegetation, from dense forests to alpine heathlands, each step offering something new to discover. As you rise above the treetops, be prepared for a visual feast, panoramic views that sweep across the vast Tarkine wilderness, roll down the wild west coast, and stretch inland all the way to the iconic Cradle Mountain. It’s a truly awe-inspiring perspective that rewards every effort made on the climb.

With the summit reached and the scenery etched into memory, we begin our descent, taking time to soak in the stillness and serenity of this remarkable landscape one last time. Returning to the lodge, we regroup and begin our journey back to Launceston — reflecting on the unforgettable experiences, stunning landscapes, and shared moments that have made this Tasmanian adventure truly special.
