About this tour
A four-day coastal journey linking two lighthouses via walking and paddling along Australia's southeastern shore. Stay in heritage lighthouse keeper's quarters with views across Disaster Bay, hike through windswept heathland and native forest, and paddle sheltered waters. Each night includes locally sourced dinners prepared on-site, while the operator plants a tree in your name towards coastal restoration.

What to expect
Expect a mix of moderate hiking and kayaking across consecutive days, covering coastal scenery punctuated by forest sections and open heathland. Walking stages range from 8–12 kilometres daily, mostly on established tracks with some rocky stretches. Paddling happens on calm bay waters, typically 5–8 kilometres per session. Accommodation is functional rather than luxurious—authentic heritage rooms with shared facilities. Meals happen communally; dinners showcase local catches and seasonal vegetables. Early starts and varied terrain mean solid fitness and mental preparation matter.
Good to know
Bring layers; coastal weather shifts rapidly. Swimming opportunities exist but water stays cool year-round. Mobile reception is patchy near lighthouses. All fitness levels within the moderate range manage comfortably; spinal, cardiac or pregnancy concerns warrant medical clearance first.
