what our clients said...
I just wanted to congratulate you on creating a wonderful experience with the Six Foot Track adventure... I had a fabulous time.  The logistics of the walk worked beautifully and the food was way beyond my expectations... our guide did a wonderful job of making our experience fun, safe and rewarding. I will go out of my way to recommend Life's an Adventure to my friends. 
Sue Clarke, Feb 2010

Just a brief note to thank you for a splendid weekend adventure. All of us thought that both, the scenery and the organization of the walk ( especially the food!!) surpassed expectation. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the walk to others, or to do it again some time.
Gabriel Farago, Sept '09

 
Food was wonderful. One of the highlights and definitely a bonus - something to look forward to after a day of walking.
Tracey Edwards, Oct '09

 
You guys providing a deluxe package where you looked after us so well .... I felt more than spoiled and really appreciated it.
Carol Richards, Oct '09


I would like to thank you from for the trek, we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience ...  James and Daniel did a great job in looking after us and Mark with your overall planning and attention to detail, you made it a memorable experience one we will definitely talk about for a long time.  .. all the meals were excellent and more than what we expected. Happy to recommend your company to anyone.

Paul Leskovec, Sept '09


Just a note to say thank you very much to all the team for a great walk over the weekend. The guys were great, Dario's logistic and cooking skills were exceptional, Meaghan was great company and a big hit for the girls, and Mark was a really good host. The food, drink and support stuff e.g. tents were excellent, really well beyond expectations, contributing to an amazing experience.

All the best,
Barry Lanesman, July '09

3 day six foot track guided walk
Join us on a guided walk of  the famous Six Foot Track from the Blue Mountains to Jenolan Caves. Winding through
State forests and national parks, the track follows the 44 kilometre route of the original 1884 horse track 
between Katoomba to Jenolan Caves. Crossing mountain ranges and falling into deep valleys, the track features
sheer sandstone cliffs, waterfalls and panoramas of richly-forested valleys. We'll spend one night in a Bushwalking Lodge near the picturesque Cox's River and one night camping under the stars where we'll enjoy a glass of wine or beer and a delicious dinner. Time is allowed to explore the magnificent Jenolan Caves. Limited places available - don't miss out!

This is Glamping at it's best!
Our packages include snack packs, breakfasts, 2 lunches and delicious gourmet dinners such as fresh snapper, Thai Chicken curries , french crepes - plus much more, as well as refreshments and alcohol (beer and wine). All group camping and cooking equipment is transported daily by our support vehicle. You'll spend one night in a Bushwalking Lodge at Coxs River with comfy beds and a night camping under the stars in comfortable tents and deluxe air mattresses supplied for those that choose the deluxe package.

Two levels of packages to choose from
We have two packages to choose from. For those training and wanting to get fit, you can pay less and carry
your own tent and personal items. Or for those that want to be pampered, we'll carry and set up your tent,
with a deluxe mattress and provide you with a comfy campside chair to relax in after a long day's walk.
