SOMETHING DIFFERENT:
Dress-ups are fun !! on all our trips we encourage our guests to play dress-ups. Please pack a funky little outfit thats not too big and bulky and fits the theme of radical self-expression. Bring your own artistic expression, maybe colour& brightness, black & darkness, cross-dressing or animal embodiment. Whatever fits your vibe. Perhaps you have always felt like a Dragon and that's what you want to embody, so be a dragon. Be bold, be fun and feel free to express this in your costume.

We should reach our destination in mid-afternoon where we will set up camp, do our first yoga class, pranayama and end the day with a healthy warm dinner.
Day 2:
Today we visit the beautiful Bay of Fire and enjoy some chill beach time or walkabout. Explore as much or as little as you want or just take this time to soak in the crystal turquoise waters, separated by unique bright orange lichen-encrusted granite boulders.
We then have a 1-hour drive to Columbus Falls, the option to spend time at the falls or take a 3km hike to discover Tasmania’s famous Big trees. Groups choice, I vote for big trees :)
Day 3:
Prepare the body and mind because today is a big one! Today we will make our way to Freycinet National Park, Freycinet has global appeal – it is iconic, memorable and breathtaking.
The beauty of this day is we can just completely judge how we feel. We can choose the big one at 11km or perhaps the 6km is enough for your little legs. Both ‘grade 4’ bushwalks offer a challenge, with stairs and uphill ascents, as we make our way to Wineglass Bay Beach.
This day will end with a relaxing yin class, healthy dinner and campfire chill time to download and integrate the experience of the day.
Day 4:
Douglas-Apsley National Park is a place of surprising contrasts, featuring tranquil waterholes, deep river gorges and thundering waterfalls, including the spectacular Apsley Falls. Spend the morning bushwalking, followed by a refreshing swim in crystal clear waterholes and exploring this diverse vegetation.
Animal lovers, this one is for you! An afternoon visit to Nature World animal sanctuary to get up close and personal with a Tasmania devil.
