FAQ's

WHAT TIME DOES THE TRIP COMMENCE AND CONCLUDE?
You will be met at a pre-arranged location in Launceston at 7.15am and transferred to the walk base at Quamby Estate. Here you will meet your guides who will provide a briefing on the walk, check your gear and assist with preparing your pack. There is then time for breakfast before departing at 9am for Mt. William National Park.
You will return to the walk base at approximately 5pm on Day 4. A complimentary transfer is available back into Launceston at 6pm.
WHERE SHOULD WE STAY PRE AND POST OUR WALK?
The walking base is located at Quamby Estate, 20mins from Launceston. From here the daily walks depart and return, making a stay at Quamby Homestead an ideal option. Built in the 1830's the homestead has been restored in keeping with the original features while not comprimising today's luxuries. Modern bathrooms, luxury bedding and flat screen televisions are just a few of the new additions. Special rates are available for walkers.
WHAT GEAR IS PROVIDED?
A backpack and Gore-tex jacket are provided, plus bedding for your first night at the beach camp.
WHAT ELSE SHOULD I TAKE?
Read through the gear checklist which outlines the essentials required to enjoy your walk in comfort and safety. Any extras will need to be carried by you, so be aware of the overall weight of your luggage. Your comfort and enjoyment is important to us, and keeping your pack weight to a minimum is our intention. Aim for one set of warm clothes for evenings and another set to wear whilst walking. Thermals are necessary due to their lightweight, quick-drying and warm properties.
CAN I STORE LUGGAGE THAT I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE ON THE WALK?
We will securely store all extra luggage at the walk base for you to collect when you return.
HOW FIT DO I NEED TO BE?
As long as you regularly exercise, or are moderately fit and feel capable of walking between 9 - 14 km's for the first two days along beaches and rocky headlands, you will enjoy your walking holiday. There is plenty of time to sit and rest as well as exploring each day.
HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN EACH GROUP?
Walking groups consist of a maximum of 10 and a minimum of 4 people, plus 2 qualified guides.
DO I NEED TRAVEL INSURANCE?
Yes. Just ask us at the time of booking and we can add travel insurance to your reservation at a reasonable cost.
If you choose to opt out of travel insurance, we require that you sign a waiver form accepting all consequences and costs associated with any incidents or accidents which would normally be covered by a travel insurance policy.
If you are 69 years of age and older, or have a pre-existing medical condition that is likely to affect your ability to complete the walk, you will also be required to obtain medical clearance.
