All Ability - Day Hikes and Multi Day Tours
Home Comforts Hiking organises many hikes each year for All Ability hikers and People with Disability that are able to walk unassisted. We organise regular free training hikes in Port Macquarie that take about 3 hours for those that want to improve their hiking ability and get out and meet people. We also organise a Big Day Out every couple of months to fabulous hiking locations on the Mid North Coast. These Big Day Out hikes are usually about 8km, and include support workers, a guide, transport to and from your home, morning tea and lunch.
Four times a year we organise Multi day tours to beautiful locations in NSW. Each day on these trips involves some hiking as well as sightseeing and visits to nearby tourist attractions. These trips can range from 3 to 5 days and include support workers, a guide, transport to and from your home, meals and attraction entry fees. Have a look at the photos below from some of our recent trips!
All hiking is easy to moderate. Basic fitness is needed to complete the hike. The guide carries a first aid kit and has first aid qualifications. NDIS Participants with Core funding are eligible to claim these trips through their plan. An invoice with appropriate codes will be provided. Please see the Frequently Asked Questions section for more information.
