What’s on in wellness this April

19 Mar, 2026

Autumn is one of our favourite times of the year and April is perfect for slowing down, exploring, and reconnecting with nature, creativity, and wellbeing – and the Well Traveller What’s On Calendar is packed with experiences to inspire.

Wander ancient trails with Tagster in the NSW Blue Mountains, where mindfulness, charcoal drawing, and a hidden glow worm display bring magic to twilight. Step behind the scenes at Jurlique’s Herb Farm in the Adelaide Hills to handpick botanicals and craft your own signature blend. Escape to Hollyberry House in the NSW Snowy Mountains for a day of spa, sauna, and seasonal treats, or join The Fly Program for four days of fly-fishing, mountain biking, and open-fire cooking.

Each curated experience invites reflection, adventure, and connection, making April the perfect month to step away from routine.
