About

Our Story

The Active Escapades concept was born on a walking holiday in Cinque Terre, Italy. Each day was spent hiking the 5 bays of north west Italy, where the coastal views were picture-postcard perfect. Rests were spent in fairy tale, looking villages feasting (refueling) on Italian delicacies – guilt free!

Explore + Exercise + Gastronomy is at the Heart and Soul of Active Escapades!
In other words, we believe in Health, FUN and Wellness Travel.

Inspired by this journey, the Active Escapades Mantra became: 'we like our road to Active Wellness paved with indulges of good food, a few cheeky drinks and lots of laughs'. This concept is part of the Active Escapades DNA as we explore the Sunshine Coast and beyond.

Jules ROGERS - Active Escapader

Jules Rogers
Active Escapades is a way of life for me : Explore the outdoors with a little exercise and then enjoy socialising over a few drinks and a selection of culinary delights.

I am a curious traveller and seek new experiences. Highlights include running the New York Marathon; Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro; Hiking Cinque Terre; a two month Expedition of Africa; Scuba Diving in the Maldives and Exploring Antarctica.

I am an MBA Graduate and have combined my business acumen with my passion for exploring, to create Active Escapades.
