Overall the hike is rated moderate for experienced hikers. For inexperienced and less fit hikers, it would be rated moderate to hard. The total distance walked over 4 days of hiking is 65km. Around 50% of the hike is along pristine beaches. We walk at a slow to moderate pace with plenty of breaks and opportunities to enjoy the views and observe the abundant flora and fauna. There is minimal ascent on the hike, just a few headlands to navigate. There are also three river crossings, but these are all supported by local boat operators. There is also about 4km of walking along rock platforms on the last day. The rock platforms and tracks attached are the most difficult part of the whole hike.

This hike is not recommended for inexperienced hikers. If in doubt, please contact us prior to booking.

As we stay in small coastal villages, and we only require one or two nights accommodation at each village, the options available are very limited. The minimum pricing is based on sleeping in a single lower bunk with one other person sharing the room.

Twin share is based on two people sharing a double room in a cabin  or a double bedroom in a house. There is a door that can be closed to provide privacy.

Single (the most expensive rate) is based on one person in a double room. There is a door that can be closed to provide privacy.

Most situations require you to share a bathroom. If you require your own bathroom, this can be arranged for an additional charge.

All cabins have a bedroom with a door. Due to limited availability of accommodations, singles and twins may still be expected to share the cabin (but not the bedroom) with one or two other hikers, who will occupy the bunk beds.

Note that bed linen and towels are provided at every accommodation we stay at.

Please contact us if you need any assistance with selecting your preferred accommodation level.

After arrival at Yamba, there will be time to do shopping at local stores for breakfast, morning tea and lunch needs for the hike. There is also an excellent Farmers Market at Yamba, on Wednesday mornings. There are also general Stores at Brooms Head, Minnie Waters and Wooli to buy what you need, but stock and selections are limited.  You may want to buy your bread and other basics at Yamba as there is more selection available. When selecting food, keep in mind that your food may go up to 8 hours a day without refrigeration. 

Breakfast – All cabins have basic kitchen facilities. There are no kitchens at Yamba. At Yamba and Brooms Head there are cafes available for breakfast.

Lunch and morning tea needs to be carried in your day pack each day. There are no shops while walking.

There is a venue for dinner each night, so no cooking is required. 

All of our Yuraygir Hikes are supported by a vehicle and driver.  On all Yuraygir hikes, a support vehicle will transfer your luggage from accommodation to accommodation, and can also take passengers (if you want a rest day). You only need to carry a day pack while hiking each day.
