Grading

Grading: Easy

An easy trip is suitable for women who are new to adventure and want to get outside (but start off a little gentler) while the trips are slow and have breaks, it’s still an adventure so a basic to good level of fitness is required. You will still be in the elements and moving your body! For instance, the day Kayaking will see you paddling on the water for up to four hours. Sometimes the weather can alter the grading. Your guide will ensure you are safe and supported. 

Fitness and Preparation  We ask that you have a basic to good level of fitness. If you are comfortable completing half-day walks over some uneven terrain, or perhaps take a swim/cycle/yoga class a couple of times a week, you should find this level of trip well within your means.

Olivia Testimonial - NSW

The thing that I found great about this weekend is that I came by myself and met some amazing women I'm now catching up with who live close to home. I loved the kayaking and the food was incredible - just what I needed for a little "pick me up". Thank you Mon and Sophie
