What to expect when walking at night on trails
Your senses awaken more when you bushwalk at night. You experience nature in a different light. Night walking is also a great way to get a nature boost, to de-stress and to help you sleep. So, to obtain this feeling we head to the Adelaide Hills monthly throughout the year to walk at night.
Locations we walk change each month, extending north to Cobbler Creek and south to Sturt Gorge. Generally each starting point will be a 30 minute drive from Adelaide’s city centre. All locations are on Kaurna or Peramangk Country.
Each night walk has 2 qualified, experienced and super friendly leaders supporting you. They will ensure you have a safe, fun and connecting night-time adventure.
Connect deeper with nocturnal nature
