So fresh and peaceful. - Had a lovely morning. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The hike was fairly easy, with just a couple of steep inclines. Our guide managed the group well, with little rest stops where needed. Such a beautiful place to visit.

Hidden Secrets of Araluen Hike - Easy hike through beautiful forest adjoining the stunning Araluen Botanical Park. Dani was a lovely guide and it was great to be able to access this broader part of the park. It was a lovely experience.

Fantastic and fun day! - Fantastic hike! Our family of 4 with 2 kid aged 10 and 11 years old hiked with a lovely welcoming friendly group around Araluen to see part so the gardens we had never been to before. Our guide Danielle was so lovely and informative, she had a lot of knowledge of the local area and was very friendly, the kids loved chatting away to her as we walked. We have don ea number of hikes with the Hike Collective and it has always been just fantastic, I would highly recommend to anyone.

Araluen Guided Hike - A lovely spot to get a bit of a taste of some Aussie bush in the Perth surrounds for the busy tourist; incorporating a botanical park & the bush at the back of the park. Tour guiding was provided at just the right amount of information to give an appreciation of the place. Professionally run & our team of guides was calm, welcoming & friendly which matched the tone of the place. My husband & I enjoyed our little outing & finished off with lunch at the park cafe.
