Itinerary
Day 1 | Depart Adelaide | Port Elliot
This morning, we start our adventure from Adelaide in the Big Heart Bus, heading to the stunning Fleurieu Peninsula on Ngarrindjeri Country.
We arrive in Port Elliot then go for a 5-km coastal jaunt to Bashams Beach, snaking the coastline from Horseshoe Bay and back for a delicious, healthy lunch. We take a mindful moment to watch the waves crash into the granite rocks and witness how this landscape continues to form and where the elements meet.
After lunch we hit the waves with instructor led sessions for surfing and body boarding. Wetsuits and boards are provided, all abilities welcome!
We check into our accommodation and have a casual dinner at the caravan park where we can relax and get to know our new adventure buddies.
Meals Included: Lunch, Dinner
Walking Distance: 5km
Day 2 | Port Elliot
Ever witnessed a sunrise in silence but with others? This morning we wake to bring in the day with some gentle yoga and meditation.
After a hearty breakfast, we return to the beach for more surfing and bodyboarding (2-hour coaching time included). Then, having worked up more appetite from riding the waves, we head back to base for another scrumptious lunch at the caravan park.
The afternoon is yours to enjoy however you wish. Perhaps a gentle walk along the beach or a siesta. Soak up some Vitamin N while reading a book or take a stroll into the local shops where an array of gorgeous fashion, homewares and local delights will tempt you. This is a time for relaxation!
Tonight we enjoy dinner (own expense) at a local pub/café after a soul-nourishing day.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch
Walking Distance: Optional

A restful morning to pack up and check out of our accommodation, plus our final morning of surfing and body boarding taking place after breakfast.
