We provide guided walking tours, camps and outdoor activities. We cater for tourists, school groups and visitors.

Club was born from a shared love for the outdoors and hiking. This passionate group, made up of community members and environmental enthusiasts, is dedicated to being ambassadors for both the district and the natural world.
The club also focuses on engaging with local schools, living by the motto: β€œπ‘»π’†π’‚π’„π’‰π’Šπ’π’ˆ π’Œπ’Šπ’…π’” 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕 π’Šπ’” π’‡π’Šπ’π’†, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 π’•π’†π’‚π’„π’‰π’Šπ’π’ˆ π’•π’‰π’†π’Ž π’˜π’‰π’‚π’• 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒔 π’Šπ’” 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓.”
