Emu Trekkers
July 18, 2019 - 4 years ago
Has Sunday ever rolled around and you’ve thought – “where did the weekend go?” You wasted it, you know it, we know it. So... for you, we have gone and found ourselves on helluva crew who are hiking (bushwalking) through Sydney, and doing it for charity. A large dose of inspiration is here, and you need to consider when you are next taking your weekend to the next level.
Emu Trekkers is a 100% not-for-profit tour operator run by volunteer guides based in Sydney, Australia. They offer adventurous hiking tours around Sydney and Australia and use the proceeds to support the education, healthcare and welfare of disadvantaged children and youth.
It’s pretty simple: Hike Australia, Help Kids.
It’s clear that Urban Rec and Emu Trekkers - are a tribe of adventure lovers and experience collectors and we couldn't be more excited to be working with them in this new partnership.
THREE REASONS WHY YOU NEED TO GO HIKING
- This is an epic way to experience hidden side of Sydney, their day hikes take you outside of Sydney or behind the scenes, this is a delicious way to spend your weekend.
- If you are a motherfunner who likes adventure you can organise all your friends to do an overnight hike together. We are talking, challenging, physical, fun, camping, carrying, hurdling, and bonding. If you don’t have a group of mates, then join one of the tours and find some!
- They are offering all Urban Rec members a discount to join one of their existing hikes (details below)

The 10% discount code for Urban Rec members is: URBANRECTREKS. And that will work on all of our products when booked on the website https://www.emutrekkers.org/
