In a world where demands on our time seem endless and personal boundaries are often blurred, a new initiative from Intrepid Travel offers a refreshing and much-needed alternative. Find Your Light: Daintree & Cape Tribulation Adventure invites travelers to embark on a journey not just through the stunning landscapes of Far North Queensland, but also into themselves—offering an opportunity for self-care, wellness, and authentic connection.
Australians Feeling the Pressure to Say “Yes”
Recent research from Intrepid reveals that many Australians are feeling overwhelmed by the constant pressure to accept social, family, and work invitations that they’d rather decline. The survey, which involved 1,004 Australians, found that a staggering 85% of respondents say “yes” out of obligation, often at the expense of their personal well-being.
Of particular note was a gender gap: 53% of women feel compelled by duty to say yes to invitations they'd rather refuse, compared to 42% of men. The survey results point to a growing desire for more time spent focusing on personal needs and desires. In fact, when asked what they wish they could say “yes” to more often, 54% of Australians responded with travel, 41% with self-care, and 36% with spending time with friends.
This rising demand for personal well-being and balance in everyday life has led Intrepid to launch a new experience that will allow Australians to step away from the pressures of daily obligations and rediscover themselves—Find Your Light: Daintree & Cape Tribulation Adventure.
An Exclusive Soul-Nurturing Journey
Intrepid Travel has teamed up with Lucinda Light, former Intrepid tour leader and self-love advocate, to co-design a one-of-a-kind small group tour that combines wellness, adventure, and community. Taking place from 30 May to 5 June 2025, the Find Your Light adventure is an exclusive seven-day journey to the breathtaking Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation, two of Australia’s most remarkable natural wonders.
The intimate group of 16 guests will be guided through a thoughtfully curated itinerary designed to nourish the soul. Each day will begin with Lucinda’s signature wellness practices, including guided earthing sessions in the Daintree Rainforest, soul walks, and immersive talks on emotional intelligence and wellness. These practices invite guests to connect deeply with nature, reflect in peaceful solitude, and recharge from the inside out.
“Travel can be incredibly healing when done with intention. Stepping outside our daily routines opens us to new experiences and perspectives, and can help us realign our personal goals and aspirations,” says Lucinda. “This journey is about taking time to reconnect, not just with each other, but also with ourselves.”
The Rise of Self-Care Travel
Intrepid’s latest offering comes at a time when many Australians are craving more self-care experiences. The survey revealed that 52% of women expressed a strong desire to prioritize self-care, compared to just 28% of men. This highlights the pressures women often face in balancing their work, social, and family obligations, making the Find Your Light adventure all the more relevant.
“This trip is designed to help people leave behind the social obligations and pressures they feel on a daily basis, and say ‘yes’ to something that will truly nourish them,” says Lucinda. “It’s not just a trip to a beautiful place, but a chance to heal, reflect, and build lasting connections with a community of like-minded individuals.”
Why Australians are Seeking Travel Closer to Home
The desire to travel is stronger than ever, but so is the challenge of finding the time. According to Intrepid’s survey, 1 in 10 Australians (10%) feel they have no one to travel with, while 7% say they simply don’t have the time to plan a trip. This is why Find Your Light is focused on providing a local experience—bringing people closer to home in a way that maximizes annual leave and minimizes travel time.
Brett Mitchell, Managing Director of Intrepid Travel ANZ, explains, “We’re seeing more and more Australians seek out immersive, meaningful travel experiences that allow them to connect with the world around them in a deeper way. By focusing on travel closer to home, we make it easier for people to prioritize their well-being and take the time they need to recharge.”
A Meaningful and Immersive Experience
The Find Your Light: Daintree & Cape Tribulation Adventure is not just about beautiful landscapes, but about taking a transformative journey within. Guests will have the chance to connect with each other through shared experiences, build lasting friendships, and deepen their understanding of themselves.
From forest immersion to reflection, this journey offers the perfect escape for those seeking to reconnect with their inner selves and the world around them. It’s the perfect way to escape the demands of daily life and say “yes” to something truly fulfilling.
