What an unexpected treat this walk turned out to be. I Iearnt so much about the areas we passed through and am still astounded that all of this is in our City! On the social side, all the ladies I met were fab and up for a chat. Our guides, Anna & Sue were great and provided lots of laughs as well as interesting facts along the way. Thank you AW
A truly wonderful experience. Loved every aspect of the day. Leonie was friendly and professional. A truly lovely lady. The day was well run, the horses well behaved, the scenery was gorgeous, the lunch and scones delicious and all the ladies who attended truly lovely.
A great bunch of women and I loved that the walk was quite varied and a loop and one that I’d not done before. Thanks A W!

Riding centre were very caring about their animals. Beautiful countryside. Calm horses so good for beginners or those who haven't ridden for a while.
it was beautiful weather and kalamunda national park was great place for hiking
Loved the whole day, packed so much in but it didn't seem rushed at all and we got a mix of energy lifting exercise plus relaxation.
It was great to explore the Star Swamp area, I did not know if even existed and there is so much history in such a small reserve. absolutely loved the slow pace which allowed us to stop and take photos and chat whilst we wandered along the paths without slowing the group down. The lookout was another fantastic secret with sweeping views of the coast. This one gets a big tick from me!
Another wonderful day our walking with AW. It was a lovely leisurely walk. Our host Jazzy is organised and comes comes with heaps of information, that she readily shares with us all. And she continued to look after us all when we lunched afterwards, making sure we all enjoyed ourselves.
No refund is available after the walk has been paid for.
