Insider tips Adventures with heart

Tasmanian Walking Company general manager Heath Garratt has a passion for the environmental and personal benefits of walking in Australia’s remote wilderness areas.

Regenerative travel allows you to give back more than you take, fostering a deep connection with the places you explore and leaving a positive mark on the places you visit. At the forefront of regenerative travel are tour operators who carefully design experiences to nurture your wellbeing, and actively contribute to restoration and conservation efforts.

The Tasmanian Walking Company, with its Conservation Foundation, offers multi-day guided hikes that traverse Australia’s remote wilderness areas.

But these are no ordinary hikes – as you lace up your boots, you are leaving a legacy on the places and communities you visit.

In partnership with WWF Australia, the Tasmanian Walking Company Foundation offers walks that explore the wilderness and support Regenerate Australia, the largest and most innovative wildlife and landscape regeneration programme in Australia’s history. The next Walk For Wild event departs on October 10.

For those seeking hands-on involvement, you can join the seed-collecting expeditions on trails such as the Cradle Mountain Huts Walk and the Wineglass Bay Signature Walk.

These expeditions contribute to mapping and gathering seeds from vulnerable species for the Tasmanian Seed Conservation Centre, safeguarding botanical treasures for future generations.

Regenerative travel isn’t just about exploration. It is about education. Tasmanian Walking Company’s guides are ambassadors of environmental conservation, and will not only ensure your safety and enjoyment but share their insights on the wildlife that graces your path.

In collaboration with Bonorong Wildlife Hospital, you can support their 24-hour rescue and rehabilitation service that gets injured animals back into the wild.
