EOI Women's Kangaroo Valley Adventure Escapes in 2021

When was the last time you really did something for yourself?

If you have to think about the answer, it may be time to laugh while kayaking down rapids in Kangaroo Valley, relax in a yoga class or enjoy a gentle hike.

Women s Kangaroo Valley Escape will help you re-discover your inner adventurous woman with a mix of kayaking, yoga and hiking.

The weekend accommodation is nestled on 60 acres of bush and farmland.

This is an adventure experience where you will kayak down the small rapids and flat water from the historic Hampden Bridge, practice yoga and complete a gentle 1.5 hour walk on a fire trail on Sunday.

The Three Views trail has to be one of the easiest, most accessible and rewarding walks in Kangaroo Valley. The trail used to pass through open woodland and sandstone heath vegetation, however after the fires you will be able to see the impact of the devastation.
