Sensational guided walk. 3 nights/4 days of nature, great company and wonderful meals. Small groups of 8-10 ... Experienced, informative and fun guides. I'd recommend this walk with this company to anyone from easy walkers to those who enjoy a challenge. Thanks to all at Maria Island Walks.

You catch the ferry from Triabunna to Maria Island. There are several forms of accommodation on the island. We stayed in a room at the old convict penitentiary cells at Darlington. There are gas heated pay showers available. You need to take a sleeping bag, cooking utensils, food etc. We hired a bike and rode down to French's Farm and... More

Maria Island is an incredibly special place. Nowhere else do you have such a feeling of truly escaping from the world. We have just returned from one of many long weekends there. As a veteran Maria Island goer here are some bits and pieces about visiting the island. There are no shops on the island. You must bring all your... More

A group of 9 girlfriends did a walk on Maria with "Maria Island Walk", after deciding Tasmania was to be our destination. This company has the exercise of looking after guests, and the environment, down to a fine art. Our gorgeous guides, specially chosen to meld with our group made the trip. They were diligent, yet uncomplicated. Engaging yett unobtrusive.... More

Myself and 4 family members did the 4-day walk and found it exhilarating and very well organised. We struck excellent weather for the 4 days - but if you are unlucky enough to experience rain or cold winds it could be daunting. The tents and bunks are comfortable and the food superb. You have to be prepared to carry your... More

We did a day trip over to Maria Island National Park, taking the Maria Island Ferry to get there. There are no shops or anything much in the way of facilities on the island, except for 2 toilet blocks, so take everything you may need with you. We packed a picnic lunch and hired bicycles from the ferry company, which... More
