Hervey Bay, QLD: K'gari Walking Tours has opened bookings for its walking season, offering travellers several ways to explore K'gari's diverse landscapes through walking experiences designed around different levels of support, comfort, and adventure.

With more than 90 kilometres of hiking trails across the K'gari Great Walk track system, the company offers walking experiences that allow visitors to explore the island's forests, sand dunes, freshwater lakes and other distinctive landscapes at a pace suited to their chosen experience.

K'gari Walking Tours currently offers three main styles of walking experience: Pack-Free Walks, Luxury Walks and Adventure Hikes.

The Pack-Free experience provides a supported camping experience without requiring walkers to carry heavy camping equipment and food. Support guides assist with logistics while walkers carry a lighter day pack and experience the island on foot.

For travellers looking for a more comfortable experience, the K'gari Luxury Walk combines guided walking with private accommodation, gourmet meals and 4WD and barge transfers. The four-day, three-night experience is limited to small groups and operates during the walking season from March to October.

Adventure Hikes provide a more independent option for experienced walkers. These self-guided hikes require participants to carry their own equipment and food, offering a different way to experience the K'gari Great Walk track system.

For, K'gari Walking Tours is also introducing a new three-day, two-night accommodated walk. The self-guided, pack-free experience will provide a shorter option for walkers who want to spend several days exploring K'gari while returning to accommodation each evening. Further details about the new experience are being released as the launch progresses.

K'gari Walking Tours has developed its walking experiences around small groups and supported access to the K'gari Great Walk track system. The company states that it is the only company offering supported hiking tours on K'gari with permits to support hikers along the Great Walk track system and walkers' camps.

The company's website also highlights its Eco Certification from Ecotourism Australia and its focus on reducing the environmental impact of its walking experiences. Reliable 4WD vehicles are used to assist with transfers to and from trail sections depending on the chosen hike.

K'gari Walking Tours operates from Hervey Bay, with walks departing from its Urangan office at 6 Southern Cross Circuit. The business has been operating since 2018 and provides walking experiences for a range of hikers, with age and fitness requirements varying between individual walks.

"Every walking experience gives visitors a different way to spend time on K'gari, whether they want the independence of an adventure hike, the convenience of a supported pack-free walk or the comfort of a fully guided luxury experience," said K'gari Walking Tours.

With 2026 bookings now open, travellers interested in exploring K'gari on foot can review the available walking experiences and check current dates and availability through the K'gari Walking Tours website.
