hiiii we’re alisha and blesson, welcome! happy to have you here 🚘🌏✈️

welcome to our slice on the internet. Hat Explores is a reflection of our interests, travel and creativity and we hope you also find the joy of travel and exploration through our page.

We decided on hatexplores because I (Alisha) used to travel alot with my hat, almost to a point that it had a personality of its own (like Bagwati in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara 😅) and now this is our second home.

So excited to hear more for you! Can you relate to things we shared?

Would YOU try this? ✨️🚡

The world's first rooftop cable car experience is just 2 hours away from Sydney in the gorgeous Blue Mountains! ⛰️

📍Scenic World, Blue Mountains
⏳️90 min incl 20 min on the roof of the cabin!

It all starts after all other visitors leave and Scenic world is all for you and your group of 4 to experience the top of the Scenic Skyway!

And it was magical, and totally safe! You can bring your phone (tethered) to capture memories too!

Scenic world also has other record holding rides, and we ended up spending all day 😍 Planning to visit soon? We have been there 3 times already!

COMMENT “LUNA” for a FREE gift and discount on the Luna Ultra and Insta360 X5 🎁

Here’s why I love Insta360 Luna Ultra and am taking it everywhere when I travel solo:

📸 Dual lenses — 20mm wide for vlogging + 60mm telephoto for cinematic close-ups, with up to 15× zoom. Add the 1.5× Ultra Telephoto Lens and you can reach 22.5× total zoom 🔍

🎮 Detachable screen — use it as a remote + built-in mic, and still control your shot from afar!

🎨 10-bit I-Log + 3-axis gimbal stabilisation — for richer colours and smooth, cinematic footage.

Share and visit this weekend 🌊🧖‍♀️

@harbourheatsauna is one of the coolest hidden gems we’ve found in Sydney. It’s a wood-fired sauna inside a National Park, right by the beach with beautiful harbour views

They also have @wharfcafe serving fresh, delicious food ( especially loved the avo toast w mushrooms and chilly scrambled eggs)🍄🥑

It’s located at @qstation, and there’s a complimentary ferry from Manly to get you there.

It feels like a proper getaway with clear water, sauna, great food and views — all in a place with such special significance in Australian history. 🤍
