Overview
Our four-day holistic yoga retreat from Adelaide in the Fleurieu Peninsula is the ultimate soul-shake up.
Sometimes, restoring peace of mind takes more than a 20-minute meditation session or online yoga class. Get away from the stresses of everyday life over four days filled with yoga, adventure, meditation, nutritious food and nature.
Greet the new day with morning yoga, experience the transformative power of meditation and learn to nourish your body through ancient cooking techniques. Get creative during a fun art workshop and glide through the water on a kayak. Tame your soul in wild landscapes as you hike bushland, then unwind at your retreat nestled in nature. Balanced with a little indulgence in McLaren Vale, the Fleurieu Peninsula is the ultimate refuge for those needing to escape and reset.
Please note this is an example itinerary, and our experienced team will work with you to handcraft a beautiful wellness escape to suit your private group.

Itinerary
Day 1:
Leaving behind the city and the grind of daily life, we’ll wind our way along the coast to the Fleurieu Peninsula. First things first, unwind and connect with nature during a walk at Onkaparinga Gorge.
Take a short drive to Red Poles, a warm and welcoming destination restaurant and art gallery where innovative Head Chef Connor Bishop will surprise and delight you with his fun and exciting seasonal, regional produce menu. During the three-course long lunch, find your creative side when we are joined by a local artist for a fun, two-hour painting workshop. Use wine, ink, and coffee as the ‘paints’ and grapevine sticks as well as brushes to paint. Relax, paint, laugh and learn how art can improve your well-being.
Come 3 pm, arrive at your exclusive accommodation at Lapito House. Kick back in the historic but luxuriously appointed farmhouse, or go-off grid with all the comforts in a bell glamping tent tucked in a private pocket of the property.
This evening, meet the inspirational Indigenous artist and educator David Booth from Imbala. Sing, dance and listen to story during this enlightening 1.5 hour cultural experience. After a fulfilling day, relax over a local produce dinner with your new-found friends.
Day 2:
Wake up with a vinyasa yoga flow with local yogi Kate from Sol Yoga followed by a nourishing breakfast. First up today, we’ll stop at the iconic Willunga Farmers Market where you can pick up some local produce and treats to take home.
Next, immerse yourself in nature on a 1.5-hour self-guided kayaking experience at Myponga Reservoir. Glide around exploring the coves and inlets, spot abundant wildlife and breathe deep as you take it all in.
Grab lunch and a coffee at the homely and eclectic Valley of Yore before we talk a walk on a beach framed by towering cliffs. Once back at the retreat the afternoon is devoted to your total relaxation at the retreat. Take your time to venture around the stunning grounds of Lapito House or book in for an optional massage.
The second day of your wellness tour culminates in a three-hour cooking class and dinner with nutrition expert and cook Andrea Ball, aka The Green Gourmet. Using wholesome local produce, Andrea will provide you with deliciously satisfying new ways to nourish your body and mind so that you can rediscover the connection between food, health and joy.
Day 3:
This morning Kate will guide us on a meditation where you will unearth the truly transformative benefits of this mind-balancing practice. After breakfast, set out for Deep Creek Conservation Park for a day of nature-based therapy. Tucked on the tip of the Fleurieu Peninsula, where the bush meets the beach, this sanctuary is home to abundant wildlife, rare plant species and some of South Australia’s best beaches. Here, we will spend the day hiking and taking in secluded coves, hidden waterfalls and coastal vistas along the historic Heysen Trail. Today you’ll buy your own lunch and have some free time at one of the coastal towns we visit.
Once back at the retreat, Dinner will be prepared by your guide at the retreat.
Day 4:
Feeling like a new and improved version of yourself, stretch and completely relax for the day ahead during your morning yin yoga practice. After breakfast, it’s time to pack up your bags and say goodbye to Lapito House. Today we’ll get better acquainted with the famed McLaren Vale wine region.
It’s our last lunch together after all so we are going to make it a special one. Be greeted with a warm welcome and a glass of bubbles at the intimate family-owned cellar door, Hither & Yon. Meet co-owner and humble multi-award-winning winemaker Mal. Soak up the good vibes of this venue and Mal’s knowledge and passion for regenerative agriculture. Relax over a regional produce lunch and enjoy a stroll along the main street of historic and vibrant Willunga before heading to the final destination of the retreat.
Trailblazers in the biodynamic wine scene, Gemtree Wines also share our passion for regeneration and have planted more than 50,000 trees in a wetland beyond the vineyard. Hear their story and connect with nature on a short guided walk on the Gemtree Eco-Trail. Sample organic, biodynamic and vegan drops in their tasting room overlooking the vines.
Soul cup full, we make our way back to Adelaide, arriving around 4 pm.

The 10 days of Adelaide to Perth will remain an unforgettable experience to me.
This had everything - swag camping , star studded night skies, beautiful beaches, scenic drives, spectacular hikes, picnic lunches & a lot of wildlife … More ( yes, Kangaroos wake you up in the morning - I am not kidding !! ).
The selected camping parks and the facilities available were impressive, can't complain. Enough time to explore and enjoy places.
Have to mention - Brendon and Jackson - they were the best guides , really appreciate their hard work, effort and patience to give all of us a wonderful tour experience. The food was delicious, in-plenty and always on-time, never felt disappointed 🙂 .
The group was a bunch of wonderful humans who were very friendly and full of energy, there was never a boring moment !!
Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for a tour across Nullarbor !!
Thanks for the experience, and looking forward to the next adventure with Untamed Escapes!! -
My husband and I just returned back to Qld after experiencing the 6 Day Eyre Peninsula & Flinders Ranges Adventure Tour. We had a fabulous time with Steve the tour guide and the great people we met who travelled with us. You get to … More see and experience so much in a small amount of time. We had no idea South Australia is so beautiful and has many beautiful walks, views, food and wine. It really has it all. It's definitely a trip we will remember forever.

When my friend told me about this trip, I thought she’s crazy or gonna be crazy during to trip. It was the wildest adventure of my life. I’ve been to many beautiful places but what I saw on this trip was exceptionally beautiful. Brendan … More and Michel always gave us positive energy. Their passion for Australian bushes and geology was a bonus. I can't understand how they maintain so much energy from early morning until nighttime. Happy days!

The incredible Adelaide to Perth 10 Day camping trip.
A review simply cannot sum up how amazing this trip was! If you are contemplating booking it, just do it! Home grown Aussie like myself, an expat or tourist, it's really an amazing … More experience for everyone.
The places you visit showcase some of the incredible beauty Australia has to offer and camping in a swag really lets you get in touch with nature. We really are a very lucky country!
Our guides Brendan and Jackson went above and beyond to make this trip over NYE extra special and memorable and we will all be forever grateful. Our eclectic group of people made for such real, heartwarming, genuine fun and laughs that will forever bring a smile to my face 😁😊
I cannot recommend this trip enough and look forward to planning my next adventure with UnTammed Escapes! -
TripADeal sub-contracted our 10 day Adelaide to Alice Springs adventure to Untamed Escapes and how lucky we were! Matt (our mini-bus driver and guide), was fantastic, a real legend! We felt very safe with his driving and he went above and … More beyond to make our road trip so memorable. Matt was friendly, professional and knowledgeable with a cheeky Aussie sense of humour. We would recommend that you give Untamed Adventures a go.

What an amazing way to see the Eyre Peninsula! Hassie has got to be the most informed person of the EP, and wow does he have some stories.
I will definitely be getting on an Adelaide Hills tour asap and maybe even one of their WA tours! … More -
We had a lovely day. It was so scenic and relaxing. we were not expecting to learn this much but so glad that we did.
-
We did a whole day tour of Port Lincoln and it was truly the highlight of our trip. Our tour guide, Ian, was just so friendly and knowledgably about the area. It was definitely worth it and we are so glad we did it to discover the best … More of Port Lincoln!

I had the 1-day Port Lincoln tour with Geoff. I must say I totally enjoyed the tour. I have been brought to places in PL that I thought I would never have gone to on my own. Geoff is very knowledgeable and an experienced ranger. The … More knowledge he provided about PL’s history and flora/fauna were something I have not learnt in school. He has so much experience and he cares for the environment. I was in awe at how he explained the ecosystems in the places we’ve been to. I felt like watching a documentary only I am part if it and experiencing things first hand. My fave spot would be Whaler’s Way with the Tortoise rock. It was nature at its best. I highly recommend this tour as I know you will have the best time of your life enjoying nature’s beauty in South Australia that is Port Lincoln.

In March 2021 four of us did the Best of Port Lincoln and Coffin Bay and we still talk about our experience when we catch up. From the minute we were greeted at the airport by our tour guide Ian the fun began. Ian was a fountain of information … More and he certainly made our experience memorable. He showed us many amazing sights, our hotel accommodation was A1 and our food was 10/10. Getting into our waders and sitting down at a semi-submerged water pavilion, shucking oysters washed down with some wine was an experience we will never forget. We will be back!!!

4 days of exploring and experiencing the Margaret River region. Wow wow wow, loved the visual delights, nutritional sensations, the slowness of yoga sessions, the workshops of sourdough making at One Table Farm; the education received from … More the Spice Mistress and her delightful food. The experience of tasting gin for the first time and walking an 8km section of the Cape to Cape. Thank you so much Jodie, Gem and Riley for making me feel so welcomed, you looked after us girls in every way. Glamping at Fair Harvest was a treat I’ll never forget 🤩🤩🤩

I absolutely loved my 10 day trip across the Nullarbor from Adelaide to Perth, there was not one thing I would change. The Nullarbor was on my bucket list of things to do and you can’t do it any better than living out of a swag. If you … More get the chance to swim with the seals and dolphins do it, it’s worth every cent. I just loved seeing the kangaroos on the beach over in WA and the huge trees and the bush walks we did. Don’t think about it just go ahead and do it.

We had a wonderful West Coast adventure - whale watching and more. We loved every minute and are looking forward to Untamed day trip Escapes around Coffin Bay and Port Lincoln coming up soon!
-
We recently were treated to a fully guided whale watching tour and have been raving about it ever since. We saw things we were in awe of, went to places that we can't wait to return, learned things about the area that were amazing … More and stayed in beds that were oh so comfortable. We would recommend Untamed Escapes to anyone who wants to get the best of the Eyre Peninsula and Nullarbor Plain during whale watching season!
