Accessible Hiking & Gear Hire in Tasmania
At Wild Island Adventure Hire, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to experience Tasmania's incredible outdoors. We provide hiking gear hire, transport and adventure support to help visitors plan their trips with greater comfort, confidence and independence.
Our extensive range of hiking equipment can help reduce the need to purchase or transport bulky outdoor gear when travelling to Tasmania. We are happy to discuss individual requirements and help customers identify equipment that may be suitable for their planned adventure.
Our gear hire includes equipment such as:
Hiking packs and day packs
Hiking tents
Sleeping bags and sleeping mats
Waterproof jackets and overpants
Gaiters
Walking poles
Down and fleece jackets
Merino thermal clothing
Head torches
Cooking equipment
Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs)
Other hiking and outdoor equipment
We understand that every traveller has different requirements. If you have accessibility, mobility or equipment considerations, we encourage you to contact us before booking so we can discuss your needs and help determine the most suitable equipment options.
Choosing Suitable Hiking Gear
Selecting the right equipment can make a significant difference to comfort and confidence when exploring Tasmania.
Our team can help with gear selection and advice based on your planned walk, experience, trip length and the conditions you may encounter.
We can discuss options including:
Lightweight equipment for easier carrying
Different hiking pack sizes
Sleeping bags suited to Tasmania's conditions
Warm layers and thermal clothing
Waterproof clothing
Walking poles for additional stability
Day packs for shorter walks
Safety equipment such as PLBs
Cooking and camping equipment
Where possible, we can help you choose equipment that suits your individual circumstances rather than simply providing a standard gear package.
Hiking Gear Hire for Visitors
Hiring your hiking equipment can be particularly useful for visitors travelling to Tasmania who don't want to bring bulky camping equipment with them.
Rather than purchasing expensive equipment for a single trip, visitors can hire the gear they need and return it after their adventure.
Our hire service can be used for individual items or combined equipment packages, depending on your trip.
This can be especially helpful for travellers who need to minimise luggage when flying to Tasmania or who require additional equipment for a particular hiking experience.
Accessible Transport
Wild Island Adventure Hire also provides transport services to a range of Tasmanian hiking destinations.
Our team can assist with:
Boarding and exiting vehicles where assistance is required
Loading and unloading luggage and hiking equipment
Transporting folding wheelchairs and mobility aids
Front-seat allocation where available and appropriate
General assistance during transfers
Vehicle configurations can vary depending on the service, so please contact us before booking if you are travelling with a wheelchair, mobility aid or other equipment.
Mobility Aids & Wheelchairs
We can transport folding wheelchairs and a range of mobility aids on our transfer services.
Because luggage and equipment requirements vary between travellers, we recommend contacting us before booking with details of the equipment you intend to bring. This allows us to confirm that appropriate arrangements can be made.
Assistance with Hiking & Trip Planning
Our team has extensive experience helping visitors organise hiking trips throughout Tasmania.
We can provide general assistance with:
Choosing and hiring hiking equipment
Understanding what gear is required for your walk
Transport planning
Hiking logistics
Accommodation recommendations
Information for visitors unfamiliar with Tasmania

Individual Requirements
We recognise that accessibility can mean different things to different people.
If you have mobility considerations, require assistance with equipment or have other specific requirements that may affect your trip, please contact us before booking.
While we cannot guarantee that every trail, destination or item of equipment will be suitable for every individual, we will provide honest information about our services and help you identify the options that may best suit your circumstances.
