Microadventure

I am passionate about the positive benefits adventure has on the human spirit. I also believe that you do not need thousands of dollars or to travel to the end of the world to have an adventure. Welcome to microadventures!

Microadventures:

–  allow you to explore new and beautiful parts of your surroundings

–  are a great way of building relationships and spending quality time with people in your life

–  are environmentally friendly

–  are good for your physical and spiritual health

–  are challenging

–  are low cost and take only a few hours!

Attached is some examples of what you can do but the options are only limited by your own imagination!

A small disclaimer here – no adventures are completely ‘safe’.  Activities like kayaking, rock climbing and abseiling do require a certain level of skill, equipment, training and preparation.  This learning  process is all part of the journey of any adventure.  So please do prepare yourself properly before getting out there so you can always go home to your families and loved ones and inspire them with your the stories of adventure and excitement at the end of the day.
