ABOUT ARCADIA WOMEN ADVENTURES

A place to belong.

The story

Established in 2019, Arcadia Women Adventures is an adventure company with a goal to help women realise their potential through nature-first experiences that inspire and uplift. In today's world, we often forget to look after ourselves, the importance of a supportive community, and the healing power of nature. At AWA, our goal is to deliver just that. 

Whether you're a seasoned hiker or considering your first pair of hiking boots, our events cater to female-identifying people of all fitness levels. From beginner-friendly day hikes, low-impact retreats, adventure programs, to international expeditions, we have something for everyone. 

If you've ever wanted to spend more time in nature, grow your female friendships, challenge yourself, or tick off a bucket list trip but couldn't find the people to go with, we've made something for you. 

 

Join us on this journey and discover the incredible things you're capable of.

Our mission

Our mission is to provide women with accessible and inclusive adventures, whether it’s trying something new, challenging yourself or bringing out your best.

Meet Tatiana

Originally from France, Tatiana has called Australia home for more than 12 years. Her love for hiking, nature and meaningful connection led her to create Arcadia Women Adventures in 2019.

As a hiking guide and breathwork facilitator, Tatiana believes adventure is not about being the fastest, strongest or most experienced person on the trail. It is about stepping beyond what feels familiar, discovering what you are capable of and sharing the journey with people who support you.

Through Arcadia, she creates welcoming experiences where women can reconnect with nature, build confidence and form genuine friendships, one adventure at a time.

The Arcadia way

01

WELCOMING, ALWAYS

Come exactly as you are. Whether you arrive alone, feel nervous or have never joined a group adventure before, we make sure you feel included from the very beginning.

02

ADVENTURE WITH PURPOSE

We believe adventure can build confidence, shift perspectives and remind you what you are capable of. Every experience is designed to leave you with more than photographs.

03

CONNECTION OVER COMPETITION

There is no pressure to keep up or prove yourself. We encourage each other, celebrate every step and experience the journey together.

04

RESPECT FOR THE WILD

Nature is at the heart of everything we do. We explore responsibly, care for the places we visit and encourage a deeper connection with the natural world.

“I have joined the Arcadia group on quite a few adventures now, from biking the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, to canoeing the Nymbodia river and most recently completing the Advanced Adventurer Program. Every experience has been amazing, it is such a wonderful supportive and encouraging community. Highly recommended, I cant wait for my next adventure."
