If you’re not sure where to start or want to learn more about the island whilst you enjoy your scenic walk, let one of the island experts show you a side of Wadjemup you’ve never seen before.
With multiple tours to choose from, including regular day tours right through to overnight retreats and photographic explorations, the perfect adventure awaits both hiking enthusiasts and beginners alike.
Walk among the Wadjemup Bidi and connect to the native environment that surrounds you.
