CONFIDENCE, COURAGE, AND CONNECTION
Go from fine to thriving by adding adventure to your life
Chances are you can achieve more than you think, but we get it, no one wants to be last! (Spoiler alert: that spot is always taken by our guide at the back!). All your questions are answered on our FAQs and Grading pages to try and help you determine how we grade our events, what grade might suit you, and how fit you need to be.
Once upon a time in 2008, there was a dynamic duo who were bursting with energy and passion. Tracey, a talented personal trainer and nutritionist with a knack for whipping up delicious meals, crossed paths with Adrian, the ultimate “Bear Grills” park ranger and fitness fanatic. Their story began with a friendship..
Our difference? Expertise.
We are not just hiking guides. Our team is made up of personal trainers, nutritionists, park rangers, first aid experts, chefs, and even a couple of circus acrobats!!
Our vision is to offer a complete wellness experience. We believe strongly in the healing benefits of exercise, nutrition, the outdoors and community. We bring all of these things together with a huge array of experiences to suit everyone.

The Missing Link Between Burnout and Alignment
We live in a world obsessed with two extremes: hustle or recovery. We push ourselves to the limit, chase goals, tick off tasks and, when we inevitably burn out, we retreat into self-care. Massages, Netflix marathons, or a weekend getaway suddenly become our best friend and solution. Then, we rinse and repeat.
But what if there was another way? A way to break the burnout cycle instead of just managing it? I’d like to introduce you to micropauses: small, intentional moments of pause that aren’t just about rest, but about realignment, challenge, and growth.
Can You Burnout From Doing What You Love?
What happens when you burn out not from stress, but from passion?
We’ve worked hard to align our lives with our values, establish boundaries, and stay committed to our mission. We push forward not because we have to, but because we want to. We believe in what we do. We know our “why.” We’ve found our passion and are enjoying what we do. But there’s a catch: the very thing that fuels us can also deplete us.
My Mount Kosciuszko Adventure was so Much More
Wow—what a weekend! I’ve just returned from my first multi-day hike as a TSA ambassador, and I have to say, the Kosciuszko & Snowy Mountains adventure did not disappoint!
With Adrian leading the way—expertly, as always—with great bush knowledge, interesting side stories, and plenty of good humour (plus the occasional nap!), we set off under stunning blue skies for our big summit day.
