    Sure it would have been radical to do the hike independently; cheaper yet more daunting, lonely, and stressful and ultimately I would've kept procrastinating and never reached my goal of hiking Cradle Mountain. By booking a tour it made me accountable and I achieved my goal and it feels great!

    Had an excellent time on the Overland Track on this Intrepid tour, which was actually operated by Tasmanian Hikes. Our guides Benny and Angus were great, friendly and highly competent. Food and equipment was also of good quality. And the track and the scenery along the way were wonderful, of course.

    Amazing trip. Paul and Sam were amazing guides. The food and accommodation standard exceeded all expectations. if you have had this on your bucket list, this trip is the perfect chance to tick off this amazing part of Australia on the perfect tour. Our group of four were so blessed with the two best guides and five straight days of sunshine….for the whole trip. So lucky!

    This trek is incredibly rewarding but challenging. Guide Sam was awesome, he attended to all of our individual needs, some more challenging than others but always with a smile on face.

    My Overland Track hike with Intrepid Travel was excellent. The trip was run by Tasmanian Hikes and there was nothing at all I would give them anything less than an excellent rating. The equipment was top notch, the guides were superb, the food was amazing (and very unexpected) and the knowledge of the hike, flora and fauna and the area itself were second to none.
