What a great Trek West it has been! I have ticked the box! 76km of walking, powering on with lovely friends and conversations, so many laughs, good food, spectacular scenery, nice wine, beautiful dinner settings. So exciting! I will never forget The Big Loop. Keep up the excellent work – It’s a winner!

Knocked my socks off! What a terrific mind escape in a vast, ancient and beautiful landscape. The camaraderie of companionship was just brilliant, a credit to the structure of the trek. All the finer details – refreshing face clothes, fine champagne, white linen tablecloths and nutritious meals topped off each stage of the trek. AMAZING!!!

Thank you Shelly and girls for an amazing experience. I didn’t really have an expectation – but it has been amazing. Such a vast difference to what I’m used to and the variety of landscapes and experiences has created memories that “our group” will cherish. The attention to details – table clothes, hand towels etc. have added a special touch and the food was truly outstanding. Thank you seems inadequate, it has been AMAZING!!

The first Trek West Big Loop Hike was awesome. Great organisation and attention to detail. The scenery, geology and landscape totally different and interesting. At age 65 it was great to walk The Big Loop Trail and enjoy the great company and the challenge of walking the distance.
