The South West Edge

14 nights | Dates:: 6 - 20 April, 2028

From $9,200 all inclusive per person, twin share

This all-inclusive, small-group journey for women celebrates rare biodiversity, ancient landscapes, and remote coastal majesty. Together, we’ll trace a path through biodiverse coastal heaths, majestic granite monoliths, and the world's most pristine turquoise waters . Every milestone, from the sweeping sands of Lucky Bay to the shifting dunes of the west, is intentionally paced to leave plenty of room for deep connection, quiet reflection, and the joy of shared discovery . No "Single Supplement" Penalty We know how frustrating it is to feel penalized financially just because you're travelling solo. We thoughtfully match our ladies together, if they're happy to share a room, making your dream trip both accessible and instantly communal. Friends Before You Arrive The anxiety of turning up on day one to a group of strangers can be daunting. That is why we host group chats before each tour. Long before your luggage is packed, you’ll have the chance to join in, share excitement, and get to know the other ladies. By the time you arrive, you aren't meeting strangers, you're reuniting with friends.
