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.

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,

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).
