Born from a passion for immerse experiences and a profound reverence for the natural world, Iconic Walks is an Australian-based walking company offering multi-day, far-from-ordinary walking experiences to those who share our desire to navigate wild and wonderful, lesser traversed routes in awe-inspiring destinations.
Partnering with the traditional owners of country, together we envision new ways to share the land, and curate guided walks led by knowledgeable guides; experts in treading lightly, committed to preserving and protecting local communities, cultures, wildlife and habitats and always striving for zero environmental impact.
Our partnerships are based on trust and a deep appreciation for the traditional owners of the land and a shared vision for their strategic aims.
Each walk offered promises a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in nature and connect with the land and its history. Each landscape is an intricate narrative of its people and history, echoing through the unique contours of its terrain, the diversity of flora and the rhythms of its wildlife.
With offerings as varied as the Jatbula walk in the Australian Northern Territory, to treks in the Himalayas or hiking the Canadian Bugaboos, each walk is a transformative and humbling experience of learning and connection, both with the land and for those who journey through it. Each day is an opportunity to discover profound lessons and forge meaningful connections with the land, with those who journey with us, and ultimately with oneself.
What it takes
to make an
Iconic Walk
The world has endless opportunity for walking journeys. But not all walking journeys are created equal. The world is changing and some classic walks are now overcrowded and being loved to death. Our team is passionate about curating experiences that are truly special not simply following the crowds and ticking off destinations. We believe a truly Iconic walk is an all encompassing immersive experience that includes spectacular environs, unique and fascinating cultures, tasty and creative cuisine and outstanding guides to facilitate the journey.
Expert Local guides
Our guide team are highly experienced and have deep personal connections to our destinations. Great guides skillfully peel back the layers of culture and environment to personally share deep insights you won't find on your own. Our guides guarantee you'll encounter a truly authentic local experience.

Adventure at the heart

Local produce
We believe that exploring a region's local produce is at the heart of any extraordinary travel experience, offering our guests a deep connection to the land and its people. From sampling bush foods on the Jatbula Walk to trying chillis grown in the foothills of the Himalayas, immersing oneself in the flavours of the locale unveils a rich tapestry of culture and tradition that contributes to an inspiring and memorable experience.
