Loved it! When I returned home, I felt refreshed, rejuvenated and my feel good endorphins were running high :) You were true to your word suggesting this weekend away would better than spending time with a costly therapist. I liked the way you randomly selected people for allocating bus seats and tents. I think this is a very fair approach in organising everyone. I got to either relax on my own or join in when I wanted to, which i felt very comfortable with. I found all the ladies were warm, friendly and easy going. I was presently surprised by the tents at Boshack. They were very spacious and clean, the bed was comfortable and I was warm during the night (big thumbs up for me). Had a great fun day at Tooday Mondyne Festival. Never a dull moment and lots of laughs. Thank you so much Sue and Sue!

This was my first trip, I had a great time and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be going on another AW event.

This was an amazing adventure. Alot more strenuous and challenging than I had imagined.

Wonderful two weeks which exceeded my expectations - now have the confidence to return to Vietnam on my own - loved the people, the country and the food and was sad to leave.

Great concept to suspend expectations and enjoy a variety of experiences all in one weekend - mystery, nature, culture, tucker, reflection, community, music, stars, FUN.

I needed a nice relaxing weekend away and this weekend gave me the relax with the friendships. A totally enjoyable time.

Great Trip but physically and mentally demanding!

I signed up not really sure what sort of people I would be going away with, but having already had a bit of contact with Sue H & Sue O I was confident the group would be friendly and welcoming. It is often hard to try & "fit in" when you are new & most other people know each other but there were no issues and it was a lovely weekend.

What a fun weekend! Arriving at our destination by blindfold whilst listening to dreamtime music certainly put us in the mood for the experience we were about to have. From the bush tucker, to the didgeridoo, the damper, canoeing, chillaxing, campfire, hearty food, chit chat all weekend with the girls, fun and frivolity at the festival in town.......I'll be smiling about this weekend for some time to come.
04/05/2013 Kim V
Loved being with the ladies. I probably would have liked more activities to put myself to the 'test' but thoroughly enjoyed the weekend nevertheless. You do a great job and I made at least one new friend out of the weekend :)

This was a truely amazing Adventure!!! Trekking through villages, along the river, over suspension brigdes, many many many steps up (and down), strolling Nepalese flats, crossing rocks, climbing steep and small pathways, all were part of the journey! It is such an impressive area, with beautiful scenery, wide views, and especially the MAGIC of this magnificent place contributed to my experience. Reaching the Everest Base Camp at 5356m was one of the many highlights along the way! It is about the journey, not about the goal. I will never forget this!!!!

Fantastic weekend with a bunch of lovely AW women who were all there to enjoy themselves and have some fun. Even the traffic hold ups were a bit of a hoot!!

Great- lots of fun

This was my first overseas adventure with AW and it didn't disappoint. Everything was taken care of, including things I hadn't thought about! There was a great range of activities to experience and also opportunity to branch out by yourself. There was a lot of flexibility; as in you could opt out of certain activities too. It was great to have that safety net and also be able to share your experiences with newfound friends. Extremely well organized without being regimented - AWesome!

Great holiday experience for the inexperienced traveller. Got to know some wonderful ladies and enjoyed spending fun times with them. Group very friendly and support and looked after each other. Tour guide fantastic, looked after our every need and everyone related really well to her. Given me much more confidence to go on other trips with AW. Great way to travel
12/11/2012 Rashida.R
I was delighted with the whole itinerary and everything about the trip. I particularly enjoyed the times when we took the less touristy and well-beaten tracks and found more out of the way places of interest. It was my first adventure with the "Adventurous Women" Group, and since we all survived, hopefully not my last.
12/11/2012 Delys H.
Fantastic trip, organization was brillant, never done so much in 2 weeks in my whole life, gr8 way to meet lovely women and have a gr8 time as well.
12/11/2012 Gaynor M
Could not have had a better group of women, ages 23-79. Host fantastic, Guide/driver/cook-everything looked after us from start to finish. Her knowledge and energy was amazing, and all those on this will agree that it was a great trip from start to finish. You think spending long hours on the bus would be a pain, but the time went so fast, you didn't even notice. Camping under the stars was great, Sounds of silence dinner fantastic. Walks incredible.

The Northern Thailand AW trip was a perfect mix of some "rougher" experiences, - trek and hilltop tribe visit - with plenty of "girly" opportunities - shopping, massages, shopping, mani's and pedi's, shopping! I loved the beautiful countryside we travelled through and the Thai people, (plus their food and craft skills), were wonderful! These elements, and of course the other ladies I travelled with, helped make my travel experience unforgettable for all the right reasons! Thank you Sue!
12/11/2012 Kim R
I found the whole trip absolutely amazing. It's such a different holiday to join a group of people that you don't know, gel as a group and spend a great adventure together. I really found the break has totally refreshed me and I recommend it to everyone I talk to!! I felt the trip had total balance...enough adventure, enough down time, a great tour leader, great food ( great not eating out!!) I made some great friends and found the experience of getting to gel with people of such different ages and from such varying backgrounds such a life learning experience.People think I was brave to go on a trip where I knew no-one..to me that's what made it so great..it's a big wide world and it does you so much good to get out of your normal "circle" of life and living.
12/10/2012 Pam G
A wonderful, well planned and diverse activity tour. A great insight into the wonderful people and sights of Northern Thailand and plenty of free time to explore and discover for yourself. The other members of the group made for a memorable trip.
12/11/2012 Robyn R
Great trip, good mix of leisure and activity, amazing scenery and sites and good company. Well done again Sue H.

My trip to the Bali retreat was amazing. I had know idea what to expect but it was beyond anything I could have imagined. I went with my daughter who has been through a rough year and she just needed some time out, so we were probably a bit withdrawn from the rest of the group for the first few days, but the best thing about the retreat was that you did not have to join in if you did not want to.
The bike ride on the Tuesday was awesome and the day in Ubud was just great, I loved it so much am seriously thinking of going back next year. Karen has the retreat running to perfection and I am still on a high after being home 4 days. And the best thing of all is I am finally over the coffee addiction, have not had a cup of coffee for over a week,feel great for it . Yahoo12/09/2012 Heather L
I thought this was a fabulous package, very well programmed and most enjoyable.

Thank you AW for taking us on an Awesome Adventure through out the vastness of WA and showing us her beauty in many hidden pockets. The georgeous group of women ensured hours spent on the bus were insignifincant compared to the spectatcular trip we were embarking upon. The accommodation was as fantastic as it was varied as we enjoyed the contrasts from eco tents to shearing quarters all with lots of character. Highlights were many but I loved the Pinnalces, Red Bluff took your breath away with it's beaty, Kayaking at Ningaloo reef was so amazingly spectacular and when we thought we had it enjoyed it all, it was outdone by the beauty of Karijini and our adrenalin packed day of cannonying, abseiling, paddling and rock climbing. It was a well planned out trip and I would do it again in a heart beat. Well done!
12/08/2012 Rhonda W
Would of loved to spend more time at Red Bluff and Karijini National Park to explore more of the wonderful gorges in the area.
12/08/2012 Ameliam
Spectacular scenery, awesome activities and a fantastic group of ladies to travel with. This tour was well worth the trip from the east coast. AW and their partner operators provided experiences that went beyond my expectations. Thanks for a professionally run tour and memories that I will treasure for the rest of my life.
12/08/2012 Judy M
a beautiful day, a beautiful place, and great time to just hang out with some awesome Adventurous Women!
12/07/2012 Ag L
What a fabulous well-kept secret this sanctuary is! It was good to see that there was no rubbish along the trails either.
12/07/2012 Anne O
A fantastic way to spend a Sunday, I had an absolute ball crawling around the bush playing commando. Great group of women, I felt like a kid again
23/07/2012 Denise A
What a great day of fun and laughter as always. Good having an adrenalin rush. Always lovely meeting new people. Great lunch. Thanks so much Sue you are a special person and thanks for sharing yourself with us all.
23/07/2012 Sonja T
I was stepping out of my comfort zone and wow it was not what I thought it would be. Great team work, food and company. Would do it again.
23/07/2012 JasiaH
Yet again I enjoyed every minute of a great Adventurous Women event! Fabulous fun doning the camo gear, smearing my face with more camo colors, then pretending to run around the place shooting at everyone! What an amazing experience - another 1st for me, but won't be the last. The absolutely scrumptious home-made gourmet meal at the end was awesome, washed down with a few drops of bubbly. A great way to get to meet and make peace with some of the other ladies I spent the day shooting at! Definitely looking forward to doing this one again... bring it on!!
23/07/2012 Sue O
Another fantastic event with The AWesome Adventurous Women! As always, the event was well organised and the mix of women was great.
23/07/2012 Noela O
Great afternoon/evening as usual. Great to meet new people (and I'm getting better at small talk!!!) Susan was a great speaker and promoted a really worthwhile cause without forcing the fundraising down your throat!!
10/06/2012 Kirsten G
I really enjoyed this event. Its my first non strenous event :) . The room was intimate enough without being too small or too big. Everyone new and existing members were very friendly. The format was relaxed and informal (which I enjoy and prefer) Im looking forward to the next event.
10/06/2012 Ag L
I really love how you always have inspirational women come & talk with us AW ladies! As well it is a great opportunity to catch up with old & new AW ladies & enjoy a relaxing drink.
10/06/2012 Trish H
A wonderfully relaxing trip.

My first visit to Bali and it way exceeded my expectations - everything was perfect from the beautiful surroundings to the amazing women who shared them with me.
10/06/2012 Liz M
Revitalising. Restoring. Empowering. I remembered what a jolly good belly laugh feels like :-)
10/06/2012 Judith M
A perfect holiday location, beautiful people, beautiful food, excellent company and plenty of laughter
10/06/2012 Denise
So much more than I had expected ..... I am delighted in a still chilled way :)
10/06/2012 Lee J
Fantastic weekend with many challenges in overcoming certain fears and hurdles. Wonderful support from everyone who attended this awesome weekend as you were all so friendly and extremely encouraging. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks for organising this great outing through Adventure Out who were very professional and really well organised.
13/04/2012 Ameliam
This was such a great trip, was nice to not have to do to much thinking as it was well organised, which mean't that i could enjoy walking and relaxing!
10/04/2012 Patricia R
This was a well organized trip with a competent and encouraging guide. The pace was suitable for all and the instructions given were for beginners were clear and helpful. The food provided was great. The only improvement I would suggest is for the operator to provide personal flotation devices that were not so old and used.
15/04/2012 Judy M
This was an absolutely amazing trip. All the ladies were fantastic and we bonded really well as a very supportive, caring group. On many, many occassions individual ladies were seen encouraging others in an extremely positive way. On Castle Rock ladies often paused on their own abseil to wait for a less confident lady, and abseil beside her. We were well prepared to act as each others' support, and religiously performed safety checks on each other, and offer encouragement especially on the Bluff Knoll abseil when a pair of ladies were alone on a ridge between pitches. The achievievement of ALL the ladies as they enthusiastically met the challenges head on, overecoming their fears an doing things they never thought possible was truely inspirational ... all the while with huge smiles on their faces!!
13/04/2012 Sue O'Connor
Just a wonderful variety from the tough climb to Mt Kinabalu summit, to trekking along the Headhunters Trail, walking through the most magnificent National Parks to experiencing the true Borneo. Thanks Sue Hile for making this happen. I just had the most amazing fun.
