What are the benefits?
We know that hiking, adventure, and nature improve mental and physical well being. For years this has been proven with significant evidence. There are many mental benefits associated with being outside in green spaces, such as a reduced risk of depression and faster psychological stress recovery. Studies have shown that being in nature can strengthen our mental capacities and increase our focus and attention.
We offer a wide variety of great trails, from local tracks all the way to our famous National Parks. You will find walks for all levels and the best part of it is that there’s no hassle, food preparation, or getting lost. That’s what we’re here for!

Overnight Hiking - If you’re looking for an adventurous weekend; two days hiking with one night camping. We’ll hike to the campsite, set up shop and use this as a base for the weekend hiking. With proper COFFEE and home-prepared food (not cardboard) you still have your home comforts. We can also lend you gear.
Yoga and Hiking Weekend - If you’re looking for a slower paced weekend. Beginner friendly hiking in beautiful locations, daily yoga sessions (newbie yogi’s welcome), home-cooked meals and you can even add on a massage and gin tastings to make it a ‘treat yourself’ weekend.
Pack-Less Weekends (Great ocean rd and Prom) - If you’re looking for a hiking weekend with a comfortable bed and home-cooked meal to go back to, these are for you! Perfect for those wanting to escape the city and explore the trails of a new area.
