Discover the breathtaking beaches of The Bay of Fires along Tasmania’s east coast. Your small group, led by expert guides, will traverse this wonderfully remote landscape. The Bay of Fires offers is an awe-inspiring escape, teeming with unique flora and fauna. Over four days, you’ll be immersed in one of Tasmania’s most pristine environments. Walk the soft sandy beaches, explore secluded coves, kayak Ansons River and enjoy the relaxed luxury of our camp and Lodge.
Travel across the rich pastoral landscapes of north-eastern Tasmania and then set off on our beach stroll with Flinders and Cape Barren visible to the north.
We’ll nestle into a protected beach for lunch, where your guides will begin unravelling the Bay of Fires history and inhabitants. After about four hours walking, we’ll arrive at our Beach Camp, tucked away in secluded dunes. You can relax on the deck with a local wine, take a dip or explore the dunes while your guides prepare delicious Tasmanian fare.
Approx 4hr walking
After a relaxed breakfast, we’ll explore the coastline’s bold colours and solitude. Along the ridgelines of sand dunes, views extend across heathlands and out to the ocean. We’ll visit marsupial lawns, often encountering quiet native animals.
We’ll have lunch at a sheltered beach near Eddystone Point Lighthouse, and explore the lighthouse before we follow the beaches to the much-celebrated Bay of Fires Lodge, our base for the next 2 nights.
Soak in the blissful serenity of the lodge, the architecture, and maybe indulge in a spa treatment. Dinner is a Tasmanian long-table affair, featuring produce from the island matched with fine local beer and wine.
Approx 7 hours walking
Rise early as bird song welcomes the dawn, and the lure of freshly brewed coffee leads to you to breakfast on the deck. Eagle eyes may spot whale or dolphins surfing the waves.
The choice is yours today. You could kayak down the winding waterway of Ansons River, go fishing, snorkel in the marine nursery, explore shell coves or enjoy the lodge surrounds.
Take a walk after dinner to look for wildlife – keep an eye out for wombats, wallabies, Forester kangaroos, possums or even a Tasmanian devil. Remember to look up! The night sky from this pristine coastline is an awesome spectacle.
Approximately 6 hours kayaking/walking
There’s plenty of time for a morning swim or final spa treatment before we depart the lodge. We venture through eucalypt forests and coastal heathland and enjoy a forest lunch to the sound of native birds, including the endemic green rosella.
When we arrive back to Entally Lodge we’ll raise a glass to the four wonderful days spent together.
Approximately 1 hour walking

Kristen BlundyStanding on the bow as we glided through the serenely beautiful, and calm Lemaire Channel on a perfect, sun filled day, was the realisation of my travel dreams.
To be there, amongst the ice, surrounded by soaring peaks and passing wildlife, was the experience I had been hoping for, but even I didn’t dare to dream it would be that amazing.
The ‘Kodak Gap’ lived up to its name and gave me wonderful memories and photos to treasure forever.
I dreamed, we planned, you excelled.
Thank you so much! K Blundy Antarctica, Arctic, South Georgia.
Testimonials
Stacey & ChrisHi Rose, Would just like to thank you for the help you gave us with our trip to South America.
We had a great time and all the local operators that assisted us were very helpful and professional. It’s hard to pick standouts but the train from Cusco to Puno was amazing as were the treks out of El Chalten (probably as the weather was perfect).
The hotels were just what we after, even the slightly eccentric Las Piedras in El Chalten.
Had all sorts of weather on the W walk but a couple of reasonable days. Have some great photos and even better memories, so all our mates are keen to go now.
Testimonials
RakheeI wanted to visit Antarctica but I had no idea about how I would do that!
When I talked to Forward Travel I was so blown away with the information I was getting.
It was first hand, not like going through a brochure…
I could live through the experiences they had already lived through.
They helped me to live my dreams…
It was much more than I had ever anticipated.
It was a surreal experience and I am so grateful.
Testimonials
A & W RooneyWe had been looking for a reputable travel company for a while to arrange our family trip to Norway, and we were struggling to find somebody that could talk to us about Norway with confidence.
Finally a friend recommended that we give Forward Travel a call, and after speaking with David there, there was an immediate sense of relief to finally be speaking to somebody that knew what they were talking about.
Norway was our first trip through Forward Travel, and I know who our future trips will be arranged through.
Well done you guys at Forward, exceptional work.
