How to begin
Every adventure starts with the first step.
WE HAVE A COURSE JUST FOR YOU
EASY, CONVENIENT, ONLINE, SAFE.
We meet a huge number of people on the trail who admit “I have been following you for ages” but they were afraid to take that first step. The fear of fitness, disappointing others, looking silly, wearing the wrong clothes and so many other thoughts present us from taking the action we want.
We hear this, and want to help you get confident to take that next step.
Our “Hike With Confidence” online course has been designed by us, tested by people like you and is a great starting point.
GO AHEAD, IT’S A SMALL STEP.
HIKING LEVELS
OUR HIKE GRADING SYSTEM
To make it easier to find a trip that’s a good fit for you, we have graded our hikes on a scale of 1-5. Read our quick guide to grading to understand how it works, and which grade is right for you based on your fitness level and experience.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT? WHEN? WHERE? WHO?
Naturally, you’ll have some questions before choosing your next adventure. We try our best to answer any tour-specific questions, like what to bring and what to wear, on our tour pages. We also have a dedicated FAQ page where we answer all the questions we frequently receive. This is a good place to start if you’re new to Take Shape Adventures.

WHY CHOOSE
TAKE SHAPE ADVENTURES
FRIENDSHIP
Most of the people that come on our tours come by themselves. Our community is built on friendships that have been made on our trips, experiencing something life changing together, the shared memories and also goals to do more in the future! We encourage people not to be anxious about coming on these trips by yourself as we promise you will leave with some like minded friends and be really glad you made the decision to get out of your comfort zone and join in.
BELONG
Our community is our backbone. We have had so many people start with no hiking experience, basic fitness and not knowing anyone on our trips. These same people have gone on to do some incredible multi day hiking trips with us and their friends they have met in our community. Witnessing the development of their fitness, confidence, experience, friendships and happiness is why we do what we do. Come join us and let us help you get from the couch to the top of the mountain!
ADVENTURE
Experiences, not things. The moments that take your breath away. The feeling of accomplishment and the realisation that you are capable of so much more than what you thought. The views that blow your mind and the ticking off of bucket list items. We take all the hard work out of it for you. We organise the lot so you can just turn up and get the best of your experience without all the headaches of organising/logistics. We make it easy for you to do all the thing you want to do – you just need to turn up and be ready to jump into life!
