TSA Experience

Take shape adventures encourage me to get out and do my best,

In a community of hikers tis the challenge that is the test.

And whether its climbing steep inclines or round the fire at night,

For me it’s the purpose of adventure that is so worth the fight.

Now at days end, the feats complete, I’m stoked at what’s achieved

We’ve reached our camp, good food abounds, another tale is weaved.

Larapinta Adventure Tour

The Larapinta was my fifth multi-day adventure with TSA. Special thanks to our guides for their support and efforts both on and off the trail. With guiding, driving, meal preparation, and general encouragement of the group, it made for a memorable experience. Both worked hard to make us feel safe & comfortable at all times and always maintained a great sense of humour throughout.

It’s no doubt the hardest of the ones I’ve done with TSA but also one of the most rewarding in terms of the setting in the West MacDonnell Ranges. Would highly recommend giving it a go.

Japan Kumano Kodo

The highlight for me was certainly the hardest hike of 14km and 8 hours with Nick. Whilst it was challenging, it was also the most rewarding and I felt exhilarated. Both Nick and Alena were exceptional guides, each bringing their own experiences and value to the trip. They looked after us all so well. This was the first time I have done anything like this but it has inspired me to do more.
