Discover the freedom of walking tours with expert support and a deeper connection.

There’s a special kind of freedom that comes from multi-day walking tours—disconnecting from the everyday and reconnecting with yourself, nature, people and culture. Whether you’re walking along the Yuraygir Coastal Walk or ancient rainforests of the Gidjuum Gulganyi Walk, each step is part of a journey and a connection.

But planning a multi-day hike takes time, effort, and confidence. For many, the dream of exploring Australia’s best hikes is alive and strong—but the planning, logistics and gear required – less so.

That’s where guided walking tours come in.

At Connect Adventures, our guests tell us they came for the walk and the scenery but what they gained went far beyond. Here’s why more people are choosing guided hiking tours across NSW and beyond.

“As a first-time multi-day hiker, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this experience completely exceeded all my expectations. The walk itself is beautiful and very accessible, especially for beginner bushwalkers like myself. The pace, the scenery, and the support made it such an enjoyable and achievable adventure.
The food was an absolute standout. With Kate’s expertise as a nutritionist, every meal was fresh, healthy, and full of love – all infused with delicious local produce. You could truly feel the care that went into nourishing us each day, and it made a huge difference.”  Shannon – June 2025

1 – Because Your Time Is Precious

Stress less – Walk more.

Let’s be honest – life is busy. Between work, family, and daily life, organising your own hiking tour in Australia can be overwhelming. Route planning, transport, accommodation, food prep, gear hire, permits, this all takes time.

Our guided hiking trips take care of every detail. We plan, pack, and prepare so you can arrive with just your daypack and your sense of adventure. We send out a gear list to ensure you have the right clothes, warm and wet weather gear, swimmers and the little things that make your hike even more comfortable.

If you have questions or require support during the planning we’re here to help. That means more confidence you’ll have the time to soak in the scenery, breathe deeply, and let the us do the work.

2 – Because You Don’t Need to Be an Expert

We bring the knowledge. You bring the curiosity.

You don’t need decades of experience to explore some of NSW’s best hikes or trek through Australia’s wildest landscapes. We have experienced, qualified guides leading our trips – they handle everything from navigation to safety and monitoring the weather, so you can focus on simply being present.

Whether you’re new to hiking, returning after a long break or just want to take the hassle out of your experience, guided hikes in Australia offer an inclusive, confidence-building way to get into nature and experience the outdoors.

Even better, with expert guides there’s the opportunity to learn from them along the way. Ask questions, build your confidents and if you want to hike independently in the future our guides are an amazing resource.

3 – Because You Don’t Need a Garage Full of Gear

We’ve got the hiking gear. You bring the spirit.

Multi-day hiking often comes with a long (and expensive) gear list. Tents, hiking packs, sleeping mats, cooking gear, safety equipment, a first aid kit – it adds up quickly.

With our group hiking tours, we provide or arrange the essential gear for you. You don’t have to invest hundreds (potentially thousands) of dollars in equipment just to try something new. You don’t need to replace all that old gear because it’s been in the cupboard for decades. Just bring your clothes, a few personal items, and a willingness to walk.

4 – Because You Want Knowledge, Safety & Support

It’s more than a walk – it’s a learning experience.

With an experienced and qualified guide, you’re not just walking – you’re learning. On our guided walking tours, you’ll discover the stories of Country, the richness of the ecosystem, and the cultural layers that make the trails unique. Connect Adventures has local guides with local knowledge and a wealth of guiding experience.

“When you hear the call of the Eastern Whipbird in the rainforest you are actually hearing two birds; the male calls a long whistle build up to an explosive whip-crack, the female instantly answers with a tchew-tchew. If you weren’t told this call was from 2 birds, you’d never know.” Jason – Wilderness Guide

You’ll also enjoy thoughtful pacing, nourishing food, safety-first leadership, and a caring community. You’ll feel the care in every single detail.  Spend your time enjoying the environment rather than setting up tents, preparing food and worrying about the little things.

5 – Because You Want Food that Isn’t “Just Add Hot Water”

You want to be nourished – not hungry and underwhelmed.

Hiking food can be challenging to source, to satisfy and to meet your energy and dietary needs. There are many premade lightweight meals and snacks out there. Some our Good, some are ok and some are just bad! Let us plan, carry, prepare and serve food that will delight.

You’ll be nourished by delicious and healthy chef-inspired meals and snacks, using mostly local ingredients and incorporating native ingredients wherever possible – no dehydrated ‘hiking food’ here!

6 – Because You Want to Hike with Someone – Walking Solo Together

Walking solo on a guided hike – the difference between wanting to go and actually going.

It’s common for solo hikers to book on guided hiking tours, not necessarily because they want to go solo but because the right people aren’t available to walk with, or they simply aren’t walkers – and that’s OK. Connect Adventures trips create space for people like you to get out there anyway — safely, confidently, and in good company.

“I did my first ever multi-day hike doing the Gidjuum Gulganyi Walk with Connect Adventures and it was one of the best experiences of my life!” Saloni – June 2025

7 – Because These are some of Australia’s Best and Most Accessible Hiking Experiences

Our trails are wild, world-class, and waiting.

From ancient Gondwana rainforest to breathtaking coastlines, our walks are chosen for their beauty, cultural significance, and immersive experience. Whether it’s the Yuraygir Coastal Walk or the Gidjuum Gulganyi Walk, we believe these are among the most accessible and Australia’s best hikes—and even more powerful when walked with care and guidance.

🥾 And if you are Wondering – Am I Fit Enough for a 4–5 Day Hike? 👣

It’s a common question — and a good one: Am I fit enough to do this? Multi-day hikes can feel daunting, especially if you’re not a seasoned bushwalker. The truth is that most people are more ready than they think. With the right mindset, some preparation, and supportive guides by your side, guided hiking tours can be deeply rewarding — not just physically, but emotionally and mentally too.

We’ll take you through what “hiking fitness” really means, and how to know if you’re ready to take the first step.

Enjoy the Experience – We’ll Manage the Rest

A guided multi-day hiking tour isn’t just about making things easier—it’s about going deeper. It’s about walking with meaning, with support, and with a team that’s as passionate about the journey as you are.

Whether you’re new to multi-day hikes or want the best possible experience, Connect Adventures offers more than walking tours—we offer space to connect, transform, and return renewed.
