Walking Tours Wellington Park

Walk under the Organ Pipes, one of Tassie's great short walks.
The kunanyi / Mt Wellington Explorer bus will pick you up from Hobart's waterfront before driving up the mountain to the Chalet 1000m above sea level.
The first part of the walk is along the gentle Organ Pipes Track, packed with an array of endemic sub-alpine flowers, with views over Hobart to one side and the towering dolerite cliffs to the other. The second half of our walk descends gently down to the Springs where there is lots of history to discover and enjoy snacks and a hot drink at Lost Freight Cafe.

Discover wild wellness through fire and ice

Here’s your chance to experience what Wild Wellness is about through journaling, meditation, mountain water dipping and connecting to nature. Discover the wonders of kunanyi / Mt Wellington like never before. Listen to the stories of the mountain's history and unique plants and animals all in the care of knowledgeable local guides. Be coached through Wim Hof Method breathwork and icy river plunge (by Piet, trained by Wim Hof himself) followed by writer-led journaling beside a roaring fire and mountain stream.
The small group experience visits North West Bay River which collects its crystal waters from kunanyi's alpine plateau. We'll head off along the Cathedral Rock Track following the gurgling mountain river for about 2km. Once we've settled in on the river bank we'll have an extended break for our breathwork and cool river plunge (not compulsory but will ignite every sense!) After returning along the track fully refreshed, enjoy a gourmet burger lunch. It's a hearty Tasmanian affair with plump burgers and local flavours on the menu including East Coast cheeses and Pigeon Whole Bakery treats to keep you going.
Not sure what to expect. Read about our 2021 retreat in the SMH and 5 reasons why you should join us on the mountain!

A classic walk for those who are fit and are up for a challenge.
Starting at sea level at Macquarie Wharf the walk will take in Hobart’s beautiful harbour and city parks before joining the Hobart Rivulet train. After a break at Cascade Gardens, the walk heads off past Cascade Brewery, Australia's oldest.
We then hit the proper bush trails.
Things start getting steep as we follow in Charles Darwin’s footsteps on the gorgeous Myrtle Gully Track through the stands of tree ferns and mighty swamp gums the tallest flowering plant on earth. After refuelling on some of Tassie’s best tucker at Junction Cabin we continue the walk, rock hopping through a couple of dolerite scree fields up to The Chalet for another much needed rest.
We take a break from the climbing for a while along the flat Organ Pipes Track, packed with an array of flowers, things get steep again for one more effort up the Zig Zag track through the tree line and up on to the alpine plateau and pinnacle of kunanyi / Mt Wellington at 1271m. Imagine taking in the spectacular views enjoying a drink, looking down and where you started out from, touching the River Derwent.
