Every weekend, somewhere new

On our weekend Adventure Hikes, the trail changes every week – so there is a hike suitable for all fitness levels and dog sizes. We’re all about socialising & community hiking – dogs and humans – and that’s what makes this adventure unique.

  • When: Every weekend (Saturday and/or Sunday)
  • Where: Rotating trails across eastern Melbourne: Dandenong Ranges, Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula and beyond
  • Duration: 1-4 hours depending on the walk
  • Difficulty: Varies week to week – always communicated in advance
  • Group size: Maximum 20 attendees – some weeks are smaller groups of around 5 – great for more nervous or reactive dogs
  • Price: $20 per dog
  • Booking: Ad hoc welcome – 24hr cancellation notice required
  • What’s included: Guided route, trail expertise, halfway break/join us for a coffee after if there’s a cafe nearby!
  • What to bring: Water, lead, poo bags, sturdy shoes
Can my puppy join?

All dogs must have up-to-date C5 vaccinations & be over 6 months of age (between 4-6 months allowed if you’re prepared to carry them/not do the full hike). For any longer hikes over 8km, it is recommended that your dog be 12 months or older.

What’s the bad weather policy?

A little rain never stopped us – the mud puddles increase the fun! Events will be cancelled in case of thunderstorms, hail, or torrential rain.

We do not hold hikes in weather over 26 degrees; exercising caution with well shaded trails & water sources for days over 20 degrees.

What if My Dog is Reactive?

Our on-leash expeditions can be reactive dog friendly – case dependent!

Just enquire to find the adventure that suits you!
