Journey across the Tweed Hinterland on the Gidjuum Gulganyi Walk, a 4-day hiking trip featuring stunning landscapes, Indigenous culture, and gourmet native cuisine.
Connect Adventures is a guided walking tour operator based in Ocean Shores, New South Wales. The business specialises in multi‑day hiking experiences that combine cultural storytelling, coastal and rainforest scenery, and practical logistics like gear transport and equipment hire.
Connect Adventures offers the Gidjuum Gulganyi Walk, a four‑day hiking experience through the Tweed Hinterland. That itinerary includes interpretive cultural elements from Bundjalung Country, scenic viewpoints that include Wollumbin and Minyon Falls panoramas, and gourmet meals prepared by chef Mindy Woods. A pack‑free version of the Gidjuum Gulganyi Walk is available, where gear is transported between campsites so walkers can move light and focus on country and culture.
The operator also runs the Yuraygir Coastal Walk, a five‑day coastal hike starting at Angourie that traverses Yuraygir National Park and the traditional lands of the Yaegl and Gumbaynggirr people. Highlights on that route include unspoiled beaches, three river crossings by boat, and seasonal humpback whale sightings during migration.
To support comfort on multi‑day routes, Connect Adventures provides hire gear such as waterproof jackets, sleeping bags, backpacks and walking poles. Tours include guided navigation, campsite logistics for pack‑free options, and meals as described in each trip listing. Based in Ocean Shores, Connect Adventures targets walkers seeking guided, culturally aware and logistically supported hiking experiences along the Northern New South Wales coast and hinterland.
