You can find a detailed itinerary on your chosen destination’s page, but here’s what you can typically expect:
🏋️ Plenty of training – Expect one or two workouts per day plus a yoga or recovery session to keep you moving and feeling good.
🌍 Epic adventure activities – Each trip includes 2-3 unforgettable experiences, such as Boat Day, coastal hikes, surfing, waterfall swims, and more.
🍽️ A night out – Depending on the destination, we’ll head to a local restaurant for one special group dinner to experience the best of the local cuisine.
😎 Time to relax – Between all the action, there’s plenty of downtime to chill by the pool, explore at your own pace, or just soak up the surroundings.
Every itinerary is a perfect mix of movement, adventure, and recovery - so you get the full experience of each destination while still having time to unwind and reset.
Absolutely! We’ve had guests with all kinds of injuries and niggles join us on Escapes before, so we’re experienced in accommodating and modifying workouts to ensure you still get the most out of your experience.
Depending on the nature of your injury, we’ll provide alternatives and adjustments to make sure you’re still able to participate at a level that’s comfortable for you. If you need to skip a session or take it easy on certain exercises, that’s totally OK! The goal is to ensure you’re training safely while enjoying all the other parts of the Escape - adventures, food, and fun.
As always, if it's a serious injury, we recommend checking with your doctor or physiotherapist before travelling to ensure you’re ready for the activities.
