Walking K’gari in 2026
Discover what’s coming for Walking K’gari in 2026, including self-guided pack-free walks, a fully guided luxury experience and a new accommodated walk launching in 2026. Bookings are now open for next year’s walking season.
Some places reward time and attention. K’gari is one of them.
For our 2026 hiking season, we’ve got three different types of walking experiences that invite you to slow down, walk deeply into the island’s landscapes and experience K’gari as it reveals itself over time. Whether you prefer the independence of walking at your own pace or the ease of a fully guided experience, each option is designed to support meaningful time on the island.

Signature Walks for 2026
We offer several walking options across our adventure, pack-free and luxury walks. Each style suits a different way of hiking, but all are shaped by the same principles: considered routes, small numbers and respect for the island’s natural and cultural significance.
Below are some of our signature walks for 2026 — we think you’ll enjoy them.
Pack-Free K’gari Eco Walk
The Pack-Free K’gari Eco Walk is a self-guided, multi-day walk that follows sections of the iconic K’gari Great Walk, without the need to carry a heavy pack. Typically completed over 7 days, this walk allows you to move independently through rainforests, dune systems, freshwater creeks and perched lakes, carrying only a light day pack. Each night, your campsite is already set up, with meals and gear taken care of by our support team.
Why walkers love it:
- Combines our renowned Blue Lakes Eco and Rainforest Eco Walk
- Walk independently, at your own pace
- No heavy packs
- Logistics and camp setup handled for you
- A true camping experience with added comfort
- Deep immersion into K’gari’s inland landscapes

New Walk for 2026 🥾
NEW: 3-Day, 2-Night Accommodated Walk
(Pack-Free, Self-Guided)
Launching in 2026, we’re introducing a new self-guided, pack-free walking experience, based at our rustic beach house. This 3-day, 2-night walk is designed for walkers seeking a shorter escape that still offers depth and immersion. Staying in one comfortable base allows you to explore the surrounding landscapes during the day, then return to a relaxed coastal setting each evening.
More details will be released soon, with limited departures available.
Planning ahead for 2026 📆
Many of our guests book well in advance to secure preferred dates and walking options, particularly as the hiking season mainly operates between March and October, when conditions are best for walking on K’gari.
If you’re planning, we encourage you to explore the 2026 season early. If you have questions about which walk might suit you, or want guidance on timing, we’re always happy to help.
We can offer custom walks for small groups and have options for solo hikers. Just get in touch and talk to our team!
