In the realm of adventure travel, where every step leads to a new story and every trail whispers of ancient lands, Iconic Walks emerges as a beacon for those seeking more than just a hike—they seek an experience that enriches and preserves.
This new Australian-based walking company, in collaboration with the Jawoyn Association Aboriginal Corporation, is set to redefine guided multi-day hiking, starting with a lineup that spans the globe from the rugged Australian outback to the majestic peaks of Nepal and the pristine landscapes of Canada.
Iconic Walks isn’t just about walking; it’s about forging partnerships that honour and support local communities and environments. Spearheaded by CEO Peter Mooney, renowned for his conservation efforts and wilderness advocacy, and co-founder Rob Sherrard, a stalwart in aviation and tourism, Iconic Walks is grounded in a commitment to sustainability and cultural stewardship.
At the heart of Iconic Walks’ inaugural offerings lies the Jatbula Trail in the Northern Territory, a 62-kilometre trek through Nitmiluk National Park. Named after Peter Jatbula, a pivotal figure in securing land rights for the Jawoyn people, this trail winds through landscapes steeped in both natural beauty and Indigenous culture. Iconic Walks, in partnership with the Jawoyn Association, is not only offering guided walks along this historic route but also pioneering eco-lodge accommodations to enhance the visitor experience sustainably.
Beyond Australia’s shores, Iconic Walks beckons adventurers to the heights of the Himalayas with experiences like the Iconic Himalaya and Bespoke Himalaya tours, promising unparalleled vistas and cultural immersion. Meanwhile, in Canada, the Canadian Alpine Experience invites hikers to explore the rugged beauty of British Columbia’s Bugaboos.
The collaboration between Iconic Walks and the Jawoyn Association signifies a milestone in eco-tourism, blending adventure with responsible travel practices. Lisa Mumbin, Chair of the Jawoyn Association, emphasizes the significance of this partnership in preserving and sharing Indigenous culture through sustainable tourism initiatives.
Every journey with Iconic Walks is a testament to respect—for the land, its custodians, and the diverse ecosystems that thrive there. By choosing Iconic Walks, adventurers not only embark on unforgettable experiences but also contribute to the preservation and empowerment of local communities.
