How to begin
Every adventure starts with the first step.
WE HAVE A COURSE JUST FOR YOU
EASY, CONVENIENT, ONLINE, SAFE.
We meet a huge number of people on the trail who admit “I have been following you for ages” but they were afraid to take that first step. The fear of fitness, disappointing others, looking silly, wearing the wrong clothes and so many other thoughts present us from taking the action we want.
We hear this, and want to help you get confident to take that next step.
Our “Hike With Confidence” online course has been designed by us, tested by people like you and is a great starting point.
GO AHEAD, IT’S A SMALL STEP.
HIKING LEVELS
OUR HIKE GRADING SYSTEM
To make it easier to find a trip that’s a good fit for you, we have graded our hikes on a scale of 1-5. Read our quick guide to grading to understand how it works, and which grade is right for you based on your fitness level and experience.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT? WHEN? WHERE? WHO?
Naturally, you’ll have some questions before choosing your next adventure. We try our best to answer any tour-specific questions, like what to bring and what to wear, on our tour pages. We also have a dedicated FAQ page where we answer all the questions we frequently receive. This is a good place to start if you’re new to Take Shape Adventures.
