Walks in Australia that combine wellness with adventure
Walking is one of the simplest ways to enhance both body and mind—but what if you could level it up?
These six walking tours in Australia are all about enriching the wellness benefits of walking with additional restorative practices. They are the perfect blend for adventure-seekers looking for that mix of exploration with a touch of rejuvenation.
1. The Signature Bay of Fires Lodge Walk (Tasmania)

There’s a reason this walk is so popular and it just might have something to do with the breathtaking views along the way. Starting in Hadspen, this five day adventure is the ultimate wellness walk in Australia with ocean swims, kayaking and an onsite spa just some of the extra curricular activities.
As you take your guided walk along Australia’s wild coastline you’ll also encounter secluded covers and enchanting forests before retreating to your cosy lodging with chef-made meals each night.
2. Wild Wellness Fire and Ice Walk (Tasmania)

Walking is a great way to open the mind and this unique wellness experience emphasises just that. Following the mountain river of Cathedral Rock just outside Hobart, this walking tour in Tasmania will expose you to nature in its purest form and be guided through Wim Hof style breathing and journaling sessions to channel your innermost thoughts and dive deeper into self.
A delicious lunch will fuel you for the remainder of the day and you’ll return full of knowledge of the flora, fauna and of course your own mind.
3. The Southern Ocean Walk (South Australia)

Escape the hustle and bustle of city life through this all-inclusive guided walk just outside of Adelaide. Following the famed Heysen Trail, the Southern Ocean Walk in Fleurieu Peninsula will see you cover around 52kms over the four days of hiking taking in the incredible South Australian coastline and a hidden waterfall along the way.
Your hard work will be rewarded each evening with a 3 course meal and paired wines along with a snug bed to rest your legs.
4. The Original Arkaba Walk (South Australia)

If conservation of the environment is important to you, then you’ll love this all inclusive four-day walk in the iconic Flinders Ranges. The Arkaba Walk in South Australia will see you venture through this incredible and unique landscape as field guides lead you on a soul-nourishing journey teaching you about active conservation initiatives. There’ll be wildlife encounters aplenty and the two nights spent camping under the stars of the Aussie outback will open your eyes to a whole new world.
5. Murray River Walk (South Australia)

This 4-day wellness walk in South Australia is the epitome of adventure. Lodging on a houseboat which follows your trail along the river, you can enjoy activities like yoga, canoeing and birdwatching or choose to retire to the spa after a long day on your feet. Uncover the secrets of the Murray River Walking trails as knowledgeable guides lead you through the culturally-rich land.
6. Cape to Cape Track (Western Australia)

Combining travelling with activity has never been easier with what we consider one of the top walking holidays in Australia. The Cape to Cape track through the stunning Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park in WA’s Margaret River region offers some of the best coastal views this country has to offer below limestone cliffs painted with wildflowers.
Choose your own style of lodging from glamping bell-tents to 3 or even 4 star accommodation. Your meals will be made up of fresh local produce paired with Margaret River wines and you’ll even be treated to the occasional meal out at some of the top restaurants in the area.
