From the rugged mountain terrain of the unforgiving west coast to the dramatic granite peaks and white sandy beaches of the sunny east coast. The capes of the north west delivering some of the world’s cleanest air and the sea cliffs, and big ocean of the south, Tasmania is world-renowned for immersive adventures that reinvigorate and inspire. When it comes to a Tasmanian adventure, nothing beats the thrill or the challenge of human powered adventures. Kayaking, canyoning, rafting, rock climbing, biking, or trekking, the possibilities for getting out of (or into) your comfort zone powered entirely by your own steam are endless. Below we have profiled a small selection on offer in the island state.

Roaring 40s cater for everything from a 2.5 hour paddle around Hobart’s waterfront taking in the mountain and cityscape, to longer experiences exploring cliffs, caves, and beaches just south of the city.

WALK ON KUNANYI
Guide and owner of Walk on kunanyi Andy Crawford has lived on the foothills of kunanyi/Mt Wellington all his life and is honoured to share the stories of this special place that serves as the iconic back drop of nipaluna/Hobart. Tailoring experiences to the needs of each group and offering epic views across a range of walks that celebrate the natural wonders of the mountain located just 20 minutes from the heart of Hobart’s CBD, Andy and his local guides believe that by slowing down and walking, connection to place is deepened. Going beyond just minimising their impacts, Walk on kunanyi’s profit has purpose, with the business being carbon positive offsetting 125% of emissions through the Tasmanian Ark Greening Australia Project. 5% of all booking sales are also donated to The Tasmanian Land Conservancy for the preservation of Tassie’s wild places for future generations.
