Walking is one of the best ways to appreciate the incredible natural beauty and diversity of Lord Howe Island.
There are walks to suit different abilities and energy levels, from relaxed coastal strolls and walks through palm forests to more challenging hikes with spectacular views across the island, lagoon and surrounding ocean.
EXPLORE AT YOUR OWN PACE
Take your time, stop at the lookouts and enjoy the fact that around almost every corner there seems to be another extraordinary view.
Some of our favourites include walks around Malabar, Transit Hill, Clear Place and North Bay, while those looking for a bigger adventure can experience the iconic Mount Gower climb.
Not sure where to start? Ask the Hunter Bay House team for a walking track map or some local tips. We can help you choose a walk to suit your group, how much time you have and the kind of experience you’re looking for.
Whether you’re after an easy morning walk, somewhere beautiful to watch the sunset or a more adventurous day on the trails, we’re always happy to point you in the right direction.
Sometimes the best way to discover Lord Howe Island is simply to put on your walking shoes and explore.
MOUNT GOWER
For the adventurers.
Rising dramatically from the southern end of the island, Mount Gower is one of Lord Howe Island’s most iconic experiences.
The full-day guided climb is challenging, rewarding and unforgettable, taking you through some of the island’s remarkable landscapes before reaching the summit.
This isn’t your everyday holiday walk — it’s an adventure.
Mount Gower can only be accessed with a registered guide, so we recommend planning ahead if this is something you’d like to experience during your stay.
Ask the Hunter Bay House team for information and recommendations, and we’ll be happy to help point you in the right direction.
