Wellness Walks, Tours & Travel

We schedule our walks to occur during cooler weather. We obtain up to date weather forecasts and inform our walkers on what conditions will be encountered and what gear will be required each day. If unseasonal heat is forecast or extreme weather warnings are issued that pose a risk, we will cancel the walk for that day. If this occurs on a multi-day tour we will try to provide alternative arrangements or modify the itinerary for that day. If this occurs prior to a single day walk we will cancel and provide a refund.

We want everyone to enjoy their walking holiday. As individuals, preparing yourself properly is they key to maximising your enjoyment and the groups enjoyment when away. This is why we provide free training walks and or a free training program that is specific to the trip. We also provide group chats via Zoom. These will assist you to practice on terrain that you are likely to encounter, meet other group members, ask questions on what to expect, receive advice on the trail, travel, and the destination, and gage your level of fitness compared to other group members.

Everyone walks at a different pace so our Adventure Leaders are trained in managing group walking. The group pace we choose will allow everyone to talk, laugh, and appreciate their surroundings….after all we walk for wellness. Also, we want everyone to experience the benefits from walking. That is why we provide day walks and walking tours, hikes, and treks for all abilities and fitness levels. Please choose a walk that matches your fitness level, and if you are unsure please connect with us for advice.

We do allow group members to walk at their preferred pace especially when going uphill. However for safety we will require everyone to regroup at regular intervals and at trail and road intersections. If you are unable to modify your pace to match the group pace. We recommend the following strategies.

1. Carry extra weight in your pack, this will create a more challenging walk and reduce your pace.
2. Turn and walk back to the group if you find yourself getting too far infront, this will increase your walking distance and prevent you from getting cold waiting.
3. Walk at the back of the group and focus on your surrounds and others, this will slow your mind down and your pace.

Yes, please tell us your requirements when booking. It is important that you inform us as soon as possible because if you leave it too late or whilst on the trip then there is no guarantee that last minute changes can be made. Some destinations provide a set menu, but there is usually options available.

Wellness walks and wellness tourism can be defined as travel experiences that provide opportunities to maintain or improve personal wellbeing. Our walks are designed with this in mind, from both a mental and physical perspective. Nature is a great healer, so all our walks provide you with invitations to connect deeper with nature as part of the journey.

We are an accredited COVID Clean Practicing Business. This means we have procedures in place to prevent exposure and limit the unlikely spread of the COVID-19 virus or similar contagious respiratory viruses. These procedures take effect prior to the start of all our walking tours, trips and events. We comply with all Government advice and conditions imposed. We take the temperature of all attendees when required, practise good hygiene, and carry out cleaning of surfaces. If a group member is unwell they might be required to isolate or wear a facemask to prevent exposing other group members. All our Adventure Leaders have first-aid training and will assist if you or a group member becomes unwell. For multi-day walks, we recommend you obtain personal travel insurance to cover any costs that you may incur due to sickness. 

The amount we charge is to cover our expenses including insurances. These expenses go towards ensuring the safety of all participants. Therefore all our walks are guided by our paid Adventure Leaders. Our leaders are knowledgeable, experienced, qualified bush walkers and undertake certified wilderness/remote area first-aid training regularly. We do not use volunteers, so if there is an incident our leaders take responsibility for managing the situation and your well-being. We are also required to pay Government fees for everyone that walks with us in a National/Conservation Park or Reserve. These fees go towards the maintenance of the trails we walk.
