Booked guided walks

If you’re planning to come along with a group of FIVE or more, we kindly ask that you book online in advance, and we’ll tailor the walk to create a truly memorable experience just for you. Please visit the Friends' website to find out more and book your bespoke tour.

A small fee for booked guided walks is returned to the Botanic Gardens and State Herbarium to help continue its important conservation, education and horticulture programs.
 

Please note that guided walks are run by our wonderful volunteers. We endeavour to run the tours as advertised, but occasionally there may be unexpected circumstances where we are unable to offer this service. We thank you for your understanding if this occurs.

All guided walks are cancelled on days forecast to reach 36 degrees or more.

Walks are not held on Christmas Day.
