TRANQUIL SANCTUARY: Zen in the Zoo
The Hike Collective has launched an exclusive experience at Perth Zoo, where you can step into a sanctuary of calm before the zoo opens for the day to the public. The two-hour tour begins with a gentle walk through the rainforest, followed by a 45-minute beginner-friendly yoga session in the calming presence of the elephants. The journey then continues with a walk through the African savannah and Australian bushland, meeting some of the much-loved locals—from lions and meerkats to pandas, and koalas. The experience finishes with a refreshing cold-pressed juice as you soak in the wonders of the wild.
Bookings are now available for select dates in October, November and December
