We have a wide selection of weekend escapes. From comfortable accommodation based trips to full pack hikes overnight and more. Whatever you want we’ve got it covered, we’ve got something for everyone.
What are the benefits?
We know that hiking, adventure, and nature improve mental and physical well being. For years this has been proven with significant evidence. There are many mental benefits associated with being outside in green spaces, such as a reduced risk of depression and faster psychological stress recovery. Studies have shown that being in nature can strengthen our mental capacities and increase our focus and attention.
We offer a wide variety of great trails, from local tracks all the way to our famous National Parks. You will find walks for all levels and the best part of it is that there’s no hassle, food preparation, or getting lost. That’s what we’re here for!
Overnight Hiking – If you’re looking for an adventurous weekend; two days hiking with one night camping. We’ll hike to the campsite, set up shop and use this as a base for the weekend hiking. With proper COFFEE and home-prepared food (not cardboard) you still have your home comforts. We can also lend you gear.
Yoga and Hiking Weekend – If you’re looking for a slower paced weekend. Beginner friendly hiking in beautiful locations, daily yoga sessions (newbie yogi’s welcome), home-cooked meals and you can even add on a massage and gin tastings to make it a ‘treat yourself’ weekend.
Pack-Less Weekends (Great ocean rd and Prom) – If you’re looking for a hiking weekend with a comfortable bed and home-cooked meal to go back to, these are for you! Perfect for those wanting to escape the city and explore the trails of a new area.

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!
