Why Choose Solemates?
You’ll See More on Foot! There’s no better way to experience Sydney’s spectacular wilderness and vibrant cityscapes, along with the stunning landscapes of New South Wales, than on foot. Our thoughtfully designed hikes immerse you in nature, offering views and experiences that simply can’t be matched from a car or bus window.
You’ll Love the Social Connections. They are more than just hikes—they’re opportunities to build lasting friendships. From "munch and mingle" brunches at local eateries to BYO picnics in the bush, we create a welcoming, inclusive environment where everyone feels valued. Supporting local businesses is important to us, so we carefully select wholesome eateries that serve nutritious, delicious dishes to fuel your adventure.
Our Guides Make All the Difference. Great hikes start with great guides. Our passionate and knowledgeable guides ensure every trek is safe, enjoyable, and unforgettable. With their expertise and enthusiasm, you’ll feel confident tackling even the most challenging trails.

acknowledgment of country
I acknowledge the Guringai, Dharug, and Gadigal peoples, the Traditional Owners and ongoing custodians of the lands on which we walk and explore the beautiful northern beaches and bushlands of Sydney and New South Wales. I pay my respects to their Elders past, present, and emerging, and recognise their deep and continuing connection to Country. I extend my respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who are part of our community today.
