Bay of Fires Walk
Bay of Fires Walk provides two days of walking and lodge-based relaxation on Tasmania’s north-east coast. The walk takes you along the pure white sands of this unique region.
You spend a night in a standing camp hidden in the sand dunes and the next day continue south passing Aboriginal middens, shell-covered beaches and Eddystone Lighthouse before arriving at the Bay of Fires Lodge. You are led by knowledgeable Tasmanian guides, trained in geology, botany or environmental science.
The lodge is an elegant sanctuary designed, built and operated along ecologically sustainable principles. It rests lightly on the landscape with sweeping ocean views.
Once there you can relax, walk, read, go kayaking down the Ansons River or just watch the ocean from the open deck.
You won’t want to leave when the times comes to head back. As Euan Ferguson, writing for The London Observer, said, “…It is so remote and so beautiful that I don’t want anyone else to know the precise location.”

Four Day Bay of Fires Walking TourAt the edge of Mt William National Park, experience the magnificent wilderness on a two-day walk. The coastline, known as the Bay of Fires, invites you to experience its dramatic landscape, ecology and wildlife. Mt William National Park's diverse vegetation is a haven for wildlife. It is home to the largest population of eastern grey kangaroos in Tasmania, as well as echidnas, brush-tail possums, wombats, Bennetts wallabies and Tasmanian devils. Birdlife too is abundant, with over 100 species occurring in the park, including many varieties of sea and shore birds. Our walk begins at Boulder Point with views north to the Bass Strait Islands taking in the magnificent coastline of colour, historic Eddystone Point Lighthouse, superb beaches and coves before arriving at the Bay of Fires Lodge. Today is yours to relax or set off on another adventure, paddling the tranquil waters of Ansons River to the mouth of Ansons Bay; a haven for water birds and eagle rays. Tomorrow after a leisurely breakfast you can explore the beaches and headlands, take a swim or simply curl up and read a book. Today, we return to Evandale via the fishing village of St Helens and through the historic Fingal Valley. | |
