These coastal walks are an ‘a-salt’ on your senses!

Is it the salty sea air, endless coastal views, sand between your toes or simply the chance to breathe in and breathe out? Whatever the reason, there’s something wonderfully restorative about walking beside the ocean.

Australia’s vast coastline is home to some of the world’s most spectacular coastal walks, and Life’s An Adventure has curated four unforgettable pack-free guided walking holidays that showcase the best of them.

First up is our three-day Three Capes pack-free guided walk on Tasmania’s dramatic Tasman Peninsula. This iconic coastal adventure showcases the towering dolerite cliffs of Cape Raoul, Cape Hauy and Cape Pillar, including some of Australia’s highest sea cliffs.

It’s a wild masterpiece sculpted by wind and waves, with rugged shores plunging towards the Southern Ocean, while offshore islands, sea stacks and rocky headlands create a landscape that feels remote, timeless and wonderfully untamed.

To make the experience even more memorable, choose between a breathtaking helicopter flight over the landscape or a thrilling wilderness cruise around Cape Pillar.

Prefer brilliant white beaches, turquoise water and rugged granite boulders splashed with orange lichen? Our three-day Bay of Fires pack-free guided walk is all about coastal bliss. It’s a photographer’s dream, with picture-perfect scenery around every corner.

Stay at cosy accommodation at Ansons Bay, just a 15-minute transfer from the trail’s end on day one, before walking straight onto the track on day two. Finish with lunch at Pub in the Paddock, enjoying its friendly country atmosphere.

Over in WA, our four-day Cape to Cape pack-free guided walk celebrates everything coastal. The 135km track runs from Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin, and our itinerary focuses on the finest sections, from beaches and granite cliffs to woodlands, Sugar Loaf Rock and Yallingup.

Add Margaret River wines – and a scenic helicopter flight landing at a vineyard – and you’ve got a coastal adventure with a difference.

Finally, our three-day Great Ocean Walk explores Victoria’s spectacular Shipwreck Coast. From towering forests and heathlands to cliffs, beaches and the Twelve Apostles, it delivers some of Australia’s finest coastal scenery – with a wow-mazing helicopter flight over the Apostles to finish.
