Our Guides
Great guides make a great trip, and you’ll love our guides.
Auswalk guides are all mature professionals with excellent leadership skills, local knowledge and experience in safely leading groups.
Their role is to organise all the logistics of the holiday and provide information about the areas you are visiting. They will safely lead the group, help to ensure that each person’s expectations are met and that everyone has an enjoyable, memorable walking holiday.
Our guides are enthusiastic people who are passionate about sharing their knowledge with you. Above all, they are fun people to spend your holiday with!
Guides are trained to a high level in all areas of trip operation including safe driving techniques, first aid, emergency procedures, food handling, cooking, environmental interpretation and great ways of ensuring you have a wonderful, memorable holiday.
Importantly, Auswalk has achieved Advanced Ecotourism Certification so you can be assured of quality environmental interpretation.
