About Us
CREATING UNFORGETTABLE ADVENTURES SINCE 2005
Our Story
Life's an Adventure began in 2005 with one simple idea: walking should be only part of the journey. What started as a small operation offering walking tours in Tasmania has grown into Australia's leading pack-free walking tour company.
Founder Mark Norek, a proud Tasmanian, discovered early on that a little comfort, great food and a touch of indulgence could transform a simple hike into something extraordinary. His vision became our signature Pack-Free Walking Experience, allowing guests to explore incredible landscapes without the weight of a heavy pack. Today, our expert guides lead adventures across Australia and the world.
Over time we realised many of our guests may only visit these breathtaking destinations once, so every itinerary is designed to make the most of their experience. From beautiful trails to regional food and wine, culture and community, we make sure no highlight is missed. Explore our FAQ to learn more.
