OVERVIEW & EVENT INCLUSIONS
WHAT IS HIGHLANDER ADVENTURE?
HIGHLANDER is a global community of hikers and adventure seekers that come together at HIGHLANDER events to share epic trails in some of the most beautiful, natural locations in the world. HIGHLANDER camp grounds are designed like festivals, with a host of activities, workshops, live music and activations designed to build connection through unique shared experiences.
HIGHLANDER offers an inclusive, well-supported experience that allows you to focus on pushing your limits and connecting with nature, all while being part of a vibrant and welcoming community. We’ve got everything covered, all you need to do is train, carry your overnight pack, and hike!

For our Central Coast Bouddi Event we are offering smaller HIGHLANDER experience with the following formats:
