Tasmanian Walking Company

Tas Walking Co strongly recommend travel insurance. Consideration needs to be given to Tas Co's cancellation policy, injury, evacuation, delayed flights, illness, etc. They do not refund for such occurrences, therefore travel insurance is your only safeguard.

The minimum age for guests walking with Tas Co is 12 years old. There are no upper age restrictions, however, for guests walking with us who are 69 or above, Tas Walking Co do require a GP to sign off on a letter they provide.

The prices quoted on our website are the most current prices and are subject to minimum numbers and seasonal demand. The prices quoted cover (and only cover) the following:

• pick up and return from the collection and return point designated by the Company;
• transport to the start of the relevant walk experience, including, where applicable, any ferry transfers;
• twin share accommodation during the walk;
• food, limited non-alcoholic beverages and wine;
• all National Park entry fees;
• qualified staff for the duration of the walk; and
• use of backpack and weatherproof jacket (if required) for duration of walk.

It is your responsibility to read through the itinerary carefully and ensure you have adequate fitness for the proposed trip.

Guests must be in good health and have the appropriate physical and mental fitness to maintain a good walking pace for the duration of their walk. Some training and preparation work is required prior to departure.  The more physically and mentally prepared you are, the more enjoyable your walk will be.

As a general indication, prior to the trip all guests should be able to safely complete a 15-20km day walk on varied terrain including bush trails and inclines, whilst carrying a 7-10kg backpack. Specific trail distances and features can be found in guest trip notes.

Guests with a pre-existing medical condition, including allergies, are required to disclose it on their booking form and may be required to supply a doctor’s certificate or complete a confidential medical questionnaire.

Guests who are 69 years of age or older, at the time of departure, must supply a doctor’s certificate, no later than 90 days prior to departure, stating that they are in good physical condition and that there are no known ailments or pre-existing medical conditions likely to prevent them from completing the walk.  This step assists us to ensure an enjoyable and trouble-free walk for all involved.

We've listed FAQ's specific to each walking track half way down each itinerary page, or you can contact your Global Journeys advisor for more details once you've enquired with us.
