Be Fulfilled
this itinerary is designed to maximise your awe and leave you fulfilled. You can try surfing and body boarding in an inclusive and friendly environment. We’ve planned this itinerary so you get the full experience and time to relax ….. you won’t leave feeling unfulfilled
Nature Connection
we want you to feel de-stressed and re-energised. So, our guides are also nature facilitators with skills to immerse you with your surrounds. Not only do we guide and share our knowledge, we also provide invitations for you to slow down and connect deeper with nature (included activities such as an introduction to Ocean Ecotherapy ) <learn more about Ocean Ecotherapy here> ….. we’re pioneers of active adventure with deep nature immersion
Group Fitness
we want you to succeed and maximise your enjoyment, so group chats online are provided leading up to your Weekender (included as part of the tour price). These will assist you to meet your guides and other group members, ask questions on what to expect, receive advice on the activities, destination, and gauge your level of fitness ….. we invest in your preparation
Meaningful Moments
we will bring your Yorke Peninsula experience alive ….. interstate companies can’t do this as well as a local South Australian tour operator like us
Flexibility (2 guides)
our departures have 2 experienced guides. Having 2 guides means we can better cater for group dynamics and individual needs. Factors such as sickness, injuries and incidents can mean changes to the itinerary become necessary, and if there was only 1 guide then these changes will impact on your expectations and your level of enjoyment ….. avoiding this is why we always have 2 guides
Safety
our wilderness trained guides from Adelaide carry comprehensive group first-aid kits, satellite communication devices, and safety equipment. In addition, safety procedures are in place, and constant communication is undertaken with local emergency services. There isn’t mobile phone coverage along sections of this trip ….. so for your safety, we always have multiple communication devices
Timing
we go at the best time of the year for comfortable conditions. We can’t guarantee perfect weather everyday, but you can book with confidence
Small Groups
a maximum of 14 only on each departure. Meaning, it’s better for the environment, and you won’t feel like you’re just a number in the crowd
