Welcome

  A walk to do.
Spectacular scenery walking the Heysen Trail with views of the Elder Range, then walking into Wilpena Pound, stopping at Hills Homestead and onto Wilpena Pound Information… read more Centre.

  Walking Ikara Flinders Ranges with Parktrek walking yours – Landscape and views were sensational. Grading of walks was true. Second morning was the hardest with steep section up and down but rest of days were more rocky… read more rather than steep with plenty of time allowed. Guides were knowledgeable of region, history, fauna and flora. Also friendly, caring, helpful and patient. Food was fresh, plentiful, tasty and healthy. Accommodation could be upgraded. Queen size room in unit was too small for bed and gear. Bathroom which could be shared by for up to 6 walkers had toilet in it which was awkward especially trying to get out early in mornings. Plenty of other options on-site which could be offered as an upgrade. Rating would be 5 except for having to share the small unit.

  The Goldfields Track Walk around the Daylesford area was outstanding! I loved every moment of the 4 days with 5 very friendly women plus our amazing guides Bianca and Lorinda.… read more We walked on a wide variety of tracks, each with its own highlights, though being a history lover, I found the Eureka Reef Walk particularly inspiring. I was able to complete all walks, but the option to shorten or omit sections was available at all times.
Our guides provided a wealth of information on various topics throughout the 4 days and I learnt a lot, even about things that I never thought would interest me eg fungi. The scenery was varied with opportunities for many photos of breath-taking views. There were several cultural experiences (bakery & chocolaterie excursions, visits to ‘The Convent’ and the Hepburn Bathhouse) included and one 2 hour block of choose-your-own-adventure. Many chose to relax in different ways at our accommodation but I loved doing the Heritage Walk around the Daylesford township, even though I ran out of time to complete it.
Both the accommodation (even without using the outside area which would be amazing in warmer months) and meals (nutritious, delicious and a wide range to choose from) were excellent. I was sorry when the 4th day ended. I certainly intend returning to the area (all new to me prior to this trip) on my own to complete the Daylesford Heritage Walk, view some of the other things the town and those nearby have to offer and enjoy some of the tracks we didn’t cover on this trip. I would recommend this Walk to anyone with a love of being outdoors to enjoy healthy recreation and a reasonable level of fitness (easier than many walks I have been on). Gaining new knowledge is an added bonus.

  Very satisfied customers. Great walk. Fun guides. – This was our first ever guided walk of more than a day in an unfamiliar group. Despite the tracks being graded easy / moderate, at times walking was not exactly… read more a "walk in the park". We perhaps weren’t prepared for some of the slippery surfaces or having to be alert for quite a bit of the time. Despite this we managed really well and were well satisfied with completing it.

Our guides were very personable, polite, kind, funny and worked very hard to respond to our needs. They were great cooks and time managers and responsible drivers. They humored us (being slightly older than them) and engaged us in interesting conversations.

We had a lovely room. Facilities were clean, warm enough and very comfortable. No complaints.

Food was amazing. Great recipes. Beautifully cooked. No complaints.

Cost may be a bit of a barrier to regularly doing these kinds of activities.

We probably would have benefited from a quick chat to someone before we went as one of us might have taken walking poles.

A little bit more info on the natural wildlife would have been great.

Breaking up some of the longer walking stretches might have helped make things a bit more interesting, although it does feel good to have achieved a decent amount of the track.

  I have done the Bay of Fires, Bruny Island and Three Capes hikes with Park Trek. Each time I travelled with a group of friends. The accommodation was comfortable, good… read more food and plenty of it and all of the guides have been friendly and very informative.
I highly recommend them

  Three Capes hike – Great hiking trip. Quality accommodation, lovely food & great guides. Can’t help the Tassie weather changing itineraries! Guides ensured we still had places to go when the weather prevented us… read more going out into the Capes.
Would definitely recommend this company.

At the end of each day our very energetic hosts prepared scrumptious meals. Nothing was left to chance. Could not help but have the very best time and experience.

  Cradle Mountain and Tarkine – Having done other walks with other companies, our group of eight ladies found Park Trek to be equal if not better than these. Their pricing was competitive and the accommodation,… read more organisation and food was of a high standard. Even though some of the weather wasn’t ideal our competent and knowledgable guides, Rose and Bernie, took this into account and adjusted our hikes to suit. They made sure all of the group was catered for with dietary requirements and the hikes were suited to the varying abilities and interests of the group. We would thoroughly recommend Park Trek to anyone wishing to explore this area through Cradle Mountain and the Tarkine 5 day walk as it gives such a variety of terrain, landscapes, flora and fauna.

  Bay of Fires Walk – We had the most wonderful four days walking the Bay of Fires Tasmania with Park Trek. Their guides Bianca and Jess were fabulous so knowledgeable and kind. Not… read more only that but fabulous cooks. The Icena shearer’s quarters were so comfortable we had such fun there.
Couldn’t recommend the company more highly.

  My husband and I did this trek last week and it was fantastic! Our two guides, Emma and Tahlia were inspirational with their knowledge of the area, friendliness, and their… read more never-ending care and attention to us and the others in the group. The food provided was good quality and all dietary bases covered, plenty of great food and beautiful cheese platters for drinks and nibbles each night. We especially loved the Tarkine Wilderness Village and the lovely little cottages we stayed in, lots of wildlife wandering around…. the village pub is fantastic along with all the helpful staff. The walks were well planned and very manageable, no rush and plenty of information given and time for photos. We would most definitely recommend this walk as a great way of seeing this part of Tasmania, very beautiful, plenty of adventure and lots of fun.

  Park Trek did an amazing job on our Bay of Fires Trek in November 2022. Despite two of our four days having atrocious weather, the guides remained friendly and encouraging… read more the whole time. Their level of knowledge of the area and the history was outstanding. They went over and above for two participants who were blind, consulting with professionals from Vision Australia prior to and during the Trek and altering the planned route accordingly. No judgement whatsoever. They were also willing to provide appropriate support for those who were struggling with mental health issues and checked in with all of us on a regular basks to see if we needed to stop for a rest. The FarmStay at Icena was very more than adequate and had a welcoming feel. The food the guides cooked was abundant and delicious.
I would highly recommend this Trek and this company to anyone
