Services
Whatever experience you’re chasing on the scenic Sunshine Coast, we have something for you. Therapeutic one on one or group guided nature walks, corporate groups, or simply take the hassle out of a trip with your family while you visit – Walks are available for all ages and abilities and can be accessed by NDIS Participants.
HOW IT WORKS
Kate will pick you up from your place of accomodation and begin the scenic drive to one of the Sunshine Coasts pristine rainforest walks. All tours are unique and tailored to your specific needs, there are many walks to choose from and depending on time of year, the weather as well personal preference will determine which walk you undertake
We’ll take a moment to pause, sit and practice a short guided meditation to fully settle into our body and become fully present in this moment. Listen to the whipbirds, or wompoo pigeons calling in the distance, the frogs bellowing and the sound of water dripping off the leaves and onto the forest floor below.
Now that we are settled, we begin our walk through this ecologically important environment, home to rare and endangered species. Kate walks a fine line between interpreting the environments surrounding and silence to enable nature to weave its magic.
Along the walk we will pause, check in with our breath and our bodies and focus on finer details like the design of the rainforest leaves or the bright red fungi sprouting out of the tree trunk. We sit in awe of the sheer beauty of our deep green surroundings, ferns, palms, epiphytes – it’s all here. You’ll breathe in essential oils from the trees around us to help calm and relax your nervous system (and would you believe, improve your immune function!).
Connecting with nature offers you the opportunity to connect with yourself and reflect on your internal world. When was the last time you really slowed down and watched the world go by? During the summer months you will have the opportunity to cool off in the glistening rock pool, but not to worry if it’s winter either, because we can sit and listen to the water cascading down the waterfall to the pools below.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Nature Immersion?
When was the last time you took time for yourself to really delve into the natural environment. Lucky for us, time spent in nature is very good for our mental and physical health. You may feel calmer, have an improved mood, increased immune function and get to see some of the world’s finest natural environments while you are at it. It’s a win-win.
What do I need to bring?
As we will be walking through various conditions and basking in the natural glow of some of the most beautiful but unpredictable environments, you’ll need to protect yourself. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, a water bottle for hydration, sunscreen and a hat.
What fitness level do I need to be?
The Sunshine Coast has hundreds of pristine walks through captivating natural environments, so we can tailor your experience to suit any fitness levels. From a soothing yoga flow to breathwork amongst the bright green trees to delving in the depths of some of the most ancient sub tropical rainforests, we’ve got all of your bases covered.
What is the weather like on the Sunshine Coast?
The Sunshine Coast lives up to its name. We have one of the most ideal climates and high sunshine levels in the world. We experience warm temperatures generally all year round averaging 17-28. If you are booking in the first few months of the year, pack a rain jacket as this is when we get most of our rain – also the best time to experience a rainforest in the rain!
