What does ‘Fully Catered’ Include on this 3-Day Walk?

Enjoy Gourmet Dining at Your Own Pace on a Multi-Day Hike

Imagine spending three days hiking through stunning farmland, lush bush, and breathtaking coastal landscapes—knowing that at the end of each day, a gourmet meal awaits you. But instead of rigid meal schedules, you have the freedom to cook on your own time, using fresh, high-quality ingredients that are carefully selected and provided for you.

A fully catered, 3-day walk gives you the best of both worlds:

  • High-quality meals using premium local ingredients.

  • The flexibility to cook and dine whenever you choose—no set meal times.

  • The joy of hands-on cooking, without the hassle of carrying or planning your food.

This is an elevated hiking experience for adventurers who love great food and total flexibility.

A fully catered, self-cooked walk provides you with all the ingredients, cooking equipment, and step-by-step instructions to prepare delicious, gourmet meals during your multi-day hike.
