Adventure brief
Explorers Package — a three-day off‑grid coastal retreat at Bakers Beach with private walks and night‑vision wildlife viewing
Experience a rejuvenating three‑day coastal retreat at Bakers Beach: two nights in an off‑grid lodge with sauna and outdoor baths, guided day walks on private tracks, nighttime wildlife spotting with provided night‑vision goggles, and all meals prepared from Tasmanian produce — offered in a small‑group format that emphasises slow, restorative time on the coast.
Set along the rugged coastline of Tasmania’s Bakers Beach, Bakers Walking Co offers an immersive three-day escape that blends coastal wilderness with upscale comfort. Located just outside Devonport, this unique retreat puts guests on private tracks away from the crowds, where the sounds of ocean surf and native bird calls form the backdrop for a slow, deliberate reconnection with nature.
The heart of the trip is the Explorers Package, a carefully crafted experience for small groups seeking a mix of adventure and relaxation. Guests spend two nights in a fully off-grid lodge that boasts eco-friendly design, complemented by sauna sessions and outdoor baths perfect for unwinding after the day’s activities. During daylight, guided walks wind through sections of the property that reveal coastal heathlands, rare endemic plants, and dramatic basalt formations shaped by ancient volcanic activity. These private trails allow hikers to witness the landscape in untouched detail, far removed from typical tourist routes.
As night falls, an exclusive wildlife spotting session with night-vision goggles reveals Tasmania’s nocturnal residents, such as Bennett’s wallabies and the elusive Tasmanian pademelon. This nocturnal foray is an unforgettable way to connect with the island’s well-known biodiversity, spotlighting species and behaviors rarely seen under ordinary circumstances.
Tasmanian cuisine is integral to the experience, with meals featuring locally sourced ingredients that showcase the region’s fresh seafood, artisanal cheeses, and seasonal produce. Perfectly paired with the remote setting, these dishes complete a sensory immersion into Tasmania’s coastal environment.
Bakers Walking Co stands out in Tasmania’s outdoor scene by combining sustainable luxury with deep natural engagement, providing a distinct alternative to typical hiking lodges or commercial tour packages. From the private tracks and night wildlife insights to the sustainable lodging and gourmet food, this retreat is an invitation to slow down and feel grounded in one of Australia’s most spectacular coastal settings.
