Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a minimum or maximum age limit?
Is there a minimum or maximum age limit?
All trips are for women over the age of 18 years. We don’t have an age limit however, we encourage you to read the grading to ensure you are feeling fit and confident to complete the adventure.
What are the ages of women who attend?
Ages range from mid 20’s to late 60’s. The average age of women attending trips is 35 years.
My daughter is 16. Can she attend if I’m there for supervision?
We believe young women should spend more time outdoors and off their phones! Unfortunately though, our community is only for women 18 years and over.
How do you grade your trips?
Please find our trip grading here, located at the end page of our website. We grade trips via National Parks grading guidelines, length of activity and physical demands. Every trip is different and will have aspects within a departure that are harder than others. It’s important you read the itinerary carefully and make sure the trip is suitable for your fitness. Please note, changes in weather conditions may make a trip more difficult on the day. For example - windy conditions, rainfall, hot or cooler weather. Even if a trip is graded “easy”, it still sits within an adventure context. This means you may be paddling in windy conditions, walking up and down steps. Easy does not mean a sedate adventure. For all our trips, a minimum level of physical capability and willingness to be outside on the adventure is required.
How do I know if I’m fit enough for a trip?
Please check the grading before you book. We will be able to provide information on the type of fitness required for the trip and what to expect. However, everyone has different levels of what they find easy, hard or challenging. If you’re worried about your fitness ability, please contact us to discuss.
I walk 5-10km easily around the block at home. Does this mean I can complete an easy graded trip?
It’s difficult for us to determine or assess your suitability for each adventure. An easy graded trip in the context of adventure is still harder than a simple walk on a flat surface with your cute puppy. You must always read through a trip itinerary and grade. Some trips will become more difficult in varied weather conditions. We sometimes have women book six months prior to a departure in the hope that their fitness will improve for the grade. Please do not book trips via this method. It is best to book trips you are capable of completing at the time of booking. We recommend starting off with an easy trip to get a feel for the adventures and asking our guides questions. If you’re unsure, please email us.
Am I suited to this community?
We are a welcoming group who love spending time outdoors together. Our trips are for women who enjoy spending time in a group environment, so be prepared for friendly chats and support. If that sounds like something you’re interested in, join a free meetup or come on a trip. We’d love to meet you!
