The views of Kanimbla, nestled in the Blue Mountains, welcome you to a weekend away where you can immerse yourself in nature.
Offering a private escape on an eco-friendly property, it’s the perfect setting to relax, explore, enjoy nourishing meals, and have a great time around the indoor fireplace with new friends.
Almost all women book this trip individually, so if you’re coming alone, that’s great!
There are two separate, three-bedroom bush cottages with indoor fireplaces, kitchens, and bathrooms, all surrounded by natural bushland. This weekend is your opportunity to recharge and truly “breathe”—especially during those yoga classes!
Whether you’re the adventurous type, a yoga lover, or simply looking for a weekend getaway without the hassle of organising it yourself, this weekend is for you.
Enjoy three hikes, three yoga classes, and time to savor a glass of wine on the clifftop outlook or in front of the fire.
It’s a weekend all about YOU! Let our guides treat you to a time of exploration and relaxation.
Sometimes, you just need to take a time-out—and at Women Want Adventure, we’re experts in helping you do just that.
This weekend is a refreshing blend of yoga, nourishing meals, hiking, and relaxation, designed to help you unwind while connecting with like-minded women.
It’s an adventure escape with a twist—combining a touch of indulgence with outdoor exploration. You’ll discover waterfalls, canyons, clifftop views, and much more, all while enjoying a weekend away that’s all about you.

Today’s adventure takes us on the Porters Pass & Centennial Glen hike, a 5-6km journey through the stunning landscapes of the Blue Mountains, with mesmerizing valley views and scenic lookouts along the way.
This hike includes crossing the exciting Walls Ledge, descending into a hidden canyon with a waterfall, and returning via the enchanting Centennial Pass Trail. We’ll take breaks along the way, including a morning tea stop, to rest and enjoy the moment.
The Porters Pass & Centennial Glen hike features steps and some uneven terrain, but it's perfectly suited for beginners. Expect the hike to take about 2-3 hours, giving you plenty of time to soak in the beauty and make lasting memories.

This trip is graded as a blend of easy and moderate. On day two, we embark on the Grand Canyon Hike, which features stairs to reach the captivating canyon floor and up again. However, there's no need to worry, as we take a leisurely pace and ensure ample breaks for everyone to rest and appreciate the surroundings.
During the first day, you can anticipate a leisurely walk lasting approximately 40 minutes. On the second day, our hike spans between 3.5 to 4 hours, allowing ample time to immerse yourself in the beauty of the landscape. Finally, on the last day, the hike will span between 2 to 3 hours, ensuring a satisfying and enjoyable experience for all participants.
While prior bushwalking experience is not necessary, we do recommend a basic to good level of fitness to fully relish the trip. Having a foundation of walking fitness will enhance your overall enjoyment. Furthermore, our yoga classes are thoughtfully tailored for beginners, making them accessible to both first-time yogis and regular practitioners. Regardless of your experience level, these classes offer a perfect opportunity to find balance and tranquility amidst the adventure.
Yes, you can definitely attend on your own! Many women join us solo, looking to connect with others who share a love for the outdoors and a desire to escape for a memorable weekend in the mountains. You'll have plenty of opportunities to meet like-minded women and build lasting friendships during this enriching experience.
Our trips are open to women 18 and older. While we’ve had participants of all ages, most are between 35-60. We welcome women of all ages to join us for an enriching and inclusive experience.

Many women find it comforting to bring a smaller blanket to use during yoga classes, especially during relaxation exercises. Additionally, on past trips, participants have enjoyed the coziness provided by small blankets and hot water bottles during the nights. If you have these items available, we encourage you to bring them along with you. They can contribute to your overall comfort and enhance your experience during the retreat.

I had an unforgettable weekend away!
I went by myself and left with found friendships. The ladies all wonderful, the food scrumptious, the yoga classes OMG fabulous, the accommodation just so perfect, the walks and scenery - amazing. Best of all the fire places, a glass of wine, a magnificent dinner and wonderful conversation. I actually teared up when it was time to say goodbye. xxx

My first trip and wow!!!
The Blue Mountains hiking and yoga experience did not disappoint. The cabins were tastefully decorated, eco friendly and fully sustainable. The wood fires, wholesome food cooked by superhero Monique and spectacular scenery were a match made in heaven. Monique is a special person who served us all weekend and generous with her time and energy ensuring we all had a great time. I really do recommend any trip with Women Want Adventure and guarantee you will return home refreshed, cared for and will have achieved at least one bucket list item!

Blue Mountains Testimonial
This was my 18th trip with Monique and Women Want Adventure. I love all of them! Thank you Sophie for the incredible meals (maybe my favourite thing). Lots of laughs at night and dancing. I always feel like I am away with a group of friends on a WWA trip. Now I just need to decide what to do next!© Copyright 2024 Women Want Adventure. All rights reserved.
