About company
Australian Walking Holidays have been created by one of the world’s most experienced trekking and adventure operators, World Expeditions. These exclusive itineraries are based on almost 30 years experience in creating trekking holidays in Australia and around the world.
We believe travel is about embracing the nature, culture and people of each destination, which is why we strive to create unique and innovative adventures that give travellers an immersive experience in a destination, with minimal impact to the environment.
Each itinerary offers an unbeatable experience of Australia’s greatest wilderness destinations in the most appropriate style for that environment. For example our treks in the arid ranges (Larapinta Trek and Heysen trail) have 4WD vehicle support so you can enjoy walking with just a day-pack. Whereas, in the World Heritage wilderness of South West Tasmania, only a full-pack bushwalking expedition will give you access to the South Coast Track or the Overland Track. In the tropical Top End and the Kimberley and Jatbula Trail, we link together a series of walks exploring the gorges and waterfalls with 4WD transport, canoeing wilderness rivers and scenic flights. Because we are committed to wilderness travel, we also offer a couple of itineraries that involve alternative means of getting about, like white water rafting Tasmania’s Franklin River and sea-kayaking tropical North Queenslands Hinchinbrook Island.
Our groups are small (maximum 8 or 10 people) so as to minimise impact and maximise experience of the wilderness. Our leaders are some of the most experienced in the field and they delight in sharing their local knowledge and insights. Depending on the itinerary you will have one or two guides who will look after you well as you walk in into wilderness areas few other ever see.

Client's Reviews
Pack free, except for your day pack, and staying in the most gorgeous and eco friendly camps every night, this trip was magic.
Each day is different, each day is wonderful. You need to be moderately fit, but even then, at the end of every day, as fit as we all were, we slept like exhausted babies.
Each camp is slightly different, and the guides run around building camp fires, organising hot water for showers, and cooking 2 course dinners.
Accommodation is in 2 man fixed ‘tents’, on swags, but we dragged our swags outside and slept under the incredible stars every night- that was definitely a highlight.
The food is wonderful, the chasms, gorges, passes, extra walks and the must do walk up Mt Sonder in the dark to arrive in time to see the sunrise are all breathtaking.
This trip is worth every cent
