What kind of experiences are included? These two 14-day journeys are designed to showcase the incredible diversity of Western Australia, from island cycling and snorkelling on Rottnest Island to vineyard tastings in Margaret River, coastal hikes, wild swimming spots, and relaxed regional dining. Along the way, we visit places such as Injidup Natural Spa, Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk, Elephant Rocks, Greens Pool, Fitzgerald River National Park, Cape Le Grand, Wave Rock, The Pinnacles, and Kings Park. There is a beautiful balance of nature, food, wine, walking, wildlife, and local culture. You might find yourself meeting quokkas one day, tasting truffles or wine the next, then watching the sun set over desert sands or swimming in some of Australia’s clearest coastal waters. Are these trip active, or can I take it at my own pace? These are active but gentle adventures, designed for women who enjoy being outdoors without feeling rushed or pressured. There are opportunities for cycling, snorkelling, coastal walks, hikes, sandboarding, swimming, and even a group surf lesson, but the pace is thoughtful and supported. Some walks and hikes, such as those in the Porongurup and Stirling Ranges, Cape Le Grand, and Frenchman Peak, offer a chance to stretch yourself, while other days are slower and more restorative. But you never need to worry about "holding the group back." There is a common anxiety that the itinerary will be too physically demanding, or that you won’t match the energy or walking speed of our other ladies. That's the beauty of two guides ... total flexibility. You never have to worry about "keeping up" or missing out. If half the group wants to tackle a long, challenging hike, one of us will lead the way. If the other half prefers a gentle walk and time to stop and smell the flowers, the other is right there with them. We divide, but we never conquer your autonomy. You get to choose your own pace, every single day. As always, we build in time to rest, enjoy the view, share good food, and simply be present in the landscape. What makes Western Australia such a special destination? Western Australia feels expansive, elemental, and beautifully untamed. It offers a rare combination of pristine coastline, ancient forests, dramatic granite peaks, wildflower country, goldfields history, award-winning wine regions, and remote national parks.
