Hiking Walking Poles – Product Description

Hiking walking poles are a practical addition to your gear for improving stability, balance and comfort on the trail. Wild Island Adventures offers a range of One Planet and other quality hiking pole brands, giving hikers options to suit different walks, terrain and personal preferences.

Walking poles can help reduce strain on your knees and joints, particularly when descending steep or uneven terrain, while providing extra support on rocky, muddy and slippery tracks. They can also improve balance when crossing uneven ground, creek crossings and challenging sections of trail, while helping establish a steady rhythm over longer distances.

For Tasmania hiking, where trails can include steep climbs, exposed sections, tree roots, rocks, mud and changing conditions, walking poles can be particularly useful. They are ideal for the Overland Track, Walls of Jerusalem, multi-day bushwalking, alpine walks and camping adventures.

Whether you're an experienced hiker or new to multi-day walking, a good set of hiking poles can provide extra confidence and support while helping make long days on the trail more comfortable.
