Guided Day Treks

All treks are chosen to ensure an enjoyable and memorable experience, including discovering landmark sights, treading lightly through wilderness alpine terrain and unveiling the true essence of the Kosciuszko National Park.

Treks are not rushed. There’s time to take a break to enjoy the scenery, learn more about the Park or just take in the magnitude of this pristine and unique environment. There is also an opportunity for those with lots of energy to take advantage of a selection of side-trips.

Why not try our Double Pleasure Package: Two single day treks & two recovery nights at Lake Crackenback Resort. The Double Pleasure Package includes the picturesque Blue Lake Walk on day one and summiting Mount Kosciuszko on day two including two recovery nights at the 4 1/2 star Lake Crackenback Resort.
