About this experience

We have always had a passion and desire to share the spectacular native landscape with visitors.
There is something special about spending time on an adventure with new friends. and private groups. Our minimum numbers are 2 guests and maximum numbers are 10 guests for comfort, in depth conversation and access.

We specialise in this and have pursued the great outdoors all around the world and now what better place to share our knowledge and experience is here, where we believe is one of the highlights of the Tasman Peninsula, it's bushwalking.

Our day, however is designed to take in that coastal walking experience, but also take time to understand our past, convict history and heritage. Because the Tasman Peninsula is home to one of our largest convict penitentiaries, Pot Arthur.
