BEST SUPPORT WE’VE EVER HAD

Kumano Kodo Extended Trip (10 days)
Wow, what a trail! We were so impressed with all you had organised – it really did work seamlessly. We really have been treated delightfully by all the hosts along the trail and it was such a bonus not to have to organise it ourselves. Many we met along the way had tried to do just that and had struggled to secure the accommodation they wanted, so we were grateful for your assistance. Thank you so much for organising such a wonderful holiday – we will definitely be recommending you.” – Steph Smee & Paul Schoff, Petersham (NSW)

 

SEAMLESS, STRESS-FREE & SURPRISING

Kumano Kodo 7-day Trail
“Brilliant trip! I really had a wonderful time. Walking solo for the first time could not have been made easier or more satisfying than this. The pre-travel info helped me understand what I had to do and where I was going. The accommodation was mostly far beyond my expectations – much nicer than the places I would have booked if I was doing it myself. Aside from the walking – which was absolutely wonderful – I loved the seamless organisation that made everything stress-free, surprising and heaps of fun.” – Lorna Hendry, Fitzroy (VIC)

EXPERTLY GUIDED TRIP

Kumano Kodo in depth with Mike Rhodes (12 days)
“This trip was made very special by having Mike Rhodes guide it. It would have been a very different and much less rich trip without him. Enjoyed his knowledge and experience of the area, the beauty of the Kii Peninsula and the incredible culture of the Japanese over centuries. The accommodation was exceptional.” – Kathleen Murphy, Port Melbourne (VIC)

 

TRULY SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE

Kumano Kodo: The 7-day Trail

The guesthouses were fabulous – what a way to experience traditional Japanese culture. We couldn’t have had a better experience.” – Fiona Ireland, Malvern (VIC)

 

IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF EMPERORS

Kumano Kodo: The 7-day Trail
“We loved walking along 1000-year-old paths that had previously been followed by emperors, princesses, monks, nuns and poets. The forest is very peaceful and a beautiful part of Japan. It has the most beautiful old trees and it is very green with moss on rocks everywhere. Every day we enjoyed different things. We loved it.”” – Leanne Lester, Numurkah (VIC)
