Itinerary
Ten hours across some of Tasmania's most remarkable landscapes. The Bakers Traverse begins on private estate tracks and continues into Narawntapu National Park — a full-day walk for those with wildlife, coastal scenery, and a Tasmanian lunch somewhere in the middle.
Overview
The Bakers Traverse is a full-day guided wilderness walk for fit and confident walkers, beginning on the Bakers estate and continuing directly into Narawntapu National Park. Covering around 22 km, the route moves through private tracks, coastal grasslands, lagoons and shoreline country, offering a more demanding way to experience this remarkable part of Tasmania’s north-west coast.
Led by an experienced local guide, the walk includes interpretation along the way on the region’s wildlife, geology and ecosystems. There is a strong chance of seeing native animals such as Forester kangaroos, Bennett’s wallabies, wombats and a wide variety of birdlife.
Around midday, guests stop for a Tasmanian picnic lunch in a scenic location before continuing the traverse through the national park.This experience is designed for those with a good level of fitness who are comfortable walking longer distances across varied terrain.
At the end of the day, guests may choose to add an optional visit to the outdoor baths and sauna on the Bakers estate.
